I was doing so research and I read that using a aluminum rail with steel rings is a bad idea, as the thermo expansion of the rail and rings will be at a different rate.

Anybody have any experience with a Vortex Viper PST II 5-25x50 FFP? Most specifically has anyone had issues with the elevation turret breaking? Also how is the tracking and return to zero with this scope?

Just like some feedback from any users of this scope. I am currently shooting a Savage 10 FCP-K in .308 with a SS 10-40 scope. I shoot mostly between 300 to 600 yards. I have a chance to pick up a Golden Eagle at a good price. How desirable are these Golden Eagle scopes in F class ?

Wow what a great wealth of advice and knowledge! At this point it looks like the store where the 168 SMK's were purchased is willing to exchange them for 175 SMK's. Also I have to agree that until my skills are to the point that my equipment becomes the factor that limits my progress. I will be...

Is 1 in 10 twist rate good for 175 SMK's ?

Yeah the first thing I will upgrade would be the scope. Oh and i forgot to mention that I have a EGW 20moa one piece scope base on my rifle.

I am looking to start out in mid range F T/R this summer. I currently have a Savage 10FCP-K in .308 which has a 24" barrel and a 1 in 10 twist rate. On my 10FCP-K I have SWFA SS 10x mil-dot scope. For the bi-pod I have a Harris. Most of my shooting will be at mid ranges as most matches around...

Liberty Optics doesn't list the Sightron scope I am looking at. Thanks

Has anybody purchased a scope from Big Supply Shop? Their price on the Sightron scope I am looking at is $130.00 less than SWFA !

Here is the sightron scope that seems to be the best choice. Sightron 8-32x56 SIII 30mm Riflescope

I have been looking at the Sightron scopes. What I am seeing is it seems that the scopes with the 1/8 moa clicks are the more desirable, but not sure if the fine cross-hair or 1/8 moa target dot reticles are best for FT/R.

Need some recommendations for a good scope for shooting .308 FT/R class. My max budget is $600.00 I currently have a 10x mildot SS scope. Most of the shooting I will be doing is mid range stuff (300 to 600 yrds) as we have no 1000 yrd ranges in my area.

Yeah but I was asking specific to FT/R class.

Just need a little info. Do most F-TR mid range matches include COF at 200 and 400 yards along with the 600 COF?

I see you say that 168 gr MK's are no good for 1000 yards. But how's about for 600 yards? My limited experience at 600 yards seems to show that the 168 gr MK's seem OK at 600 yards, but I would like your opinion. Thanks
