I run a fixt 10x SS on a 6.5x55 mauser with a match barrel. And that runs just fine for SAAB targets on 1000 meters. But for that distance i will reckomend you to get more zoom. 14-20. The problem getting into the larger zooms that some scopes just dont have the optical performance to show you...

I have the rem700 kn 308. but my friends shoot tikka t3s. The tikka has the sako style extractor that many opgrade the 700 to have. They have a much smoother bolt run. Flat action surface. Better factory trigger than the xmark pro from rem. Downside for me is the tikka safety switch. Its much...
