    Howa 1500 vs bergara HMR

    I have decided to buy the scope you recommended. Would you suggest a direct mount or a picatinny style rail under? How do you determine the high/med/low for the rings? Anything else you would suggest? Thanks again for you insight.

    This rifle was bought with the intention of getting into some long range targets, mostly paper/steel. I will probably go with the NF and learn to use the reticle the way it is supposed to be. Perhaps keep this old soldier mentally sound as the hairs continue to grey. ;) Thanks again for the...

    308Pirate - thanks for your feedback. Exactly what my experienced spotter told me in no uncertain terms. Here was my response/thinking. I have primarily have been a (bird) hunter most of my life so being close is good enough. I have been using a BDC turret with great success in ranges of 400...

    Terry Cross - After doing a great deal of research and with every review raving about the Bergara HMR in 6.5 CM, I purchased one and rec'd it this week. After reading your information, I am now not as excited unfortunately. You explained a fix for the #1 issue - scope base with a NF et al but...
