    Rifle Scopes Scope power for 16.5" .308

    I have bean running mine with a 10x and was content until the rock chucks came out, now I am missing my hi power so it's going to get a 6-24x50 this weak end. I'll leave the 5" sunshade on it just to emphasize the big scope/little gun appearance.

    Rifle Scopes PST vs Bushnell Elite 6-24

    I like my vortex and love my bushnells. I have never noticed the eyebox on the bushy to be overly sensitive, I notice it on the vortex. The edge in glass goes to the bushnell also but they both work well and until I use them side by side I have nothing to complain about with either .

    Rifle Scopes Scratched Bushnell!!! The Safe Queen Lost Her Virginity...

    Used, as It should be. Soon to be painted, as it should be. I see you have bean offered $100 dollars for the now totally destroyed and unacceptable optic in question, I'll double it........just saying.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Riflescopes

    I do not know of anything comparable to the SWFA for the price. Repeatable adjustments, built like a tank with matching turrets and a modern reticle are rare in the $300 range. My list of optics considerations in the sub $1K range would include SWFA, Vortex, Sightron and the Bushnell elite. I do...

    Not your typical 700 build

    Slick. The remage barrels almost dragged me back to the 700, almost.

    Interest in an aftermarket Savage pattern short action?

    The only real advantage wood be stock selection, but that could be cured just as well by certain chassis makers building for savage actions. That would be greatly improved if savage would stop changing. They have evolved greatly, I hope they stabilize for a while. There are plenty of good...

    Interest in an aftermarket Savage pattern short action?

    Sure.......I have not bought any hardware besides optics and powder in over a year and this comes up three days after I order two savage hog hunter donor rifles. Now I gotta figure out if I can push a third action into my budget or what to sell. It may take a bit but I'll have to see if I can...

    Interest in an aftermarket Savage pattern short action?

    I do not recall noticing the shilen action before. A stiller action using a remington footprint, floating bolt head and savage prefit barrel should have made some noise and at $950 I gotta wonder.......what's wrong with it, why didn't it make waves?

    Can a Savage be made into a competent tactical gun?

    No not really pointed at you or anyone, Just pro savage propaganda with some smart ass extra thrown in for flavor. Luckily for me is the key line hear. I buy my savage, pull the barrel in the middle of the night in my bath robe all by myself. Send one email out to any number of sources for a...

    Can a Savage be made into a competent tactical gun?

    The winers circle is not filled with remingtons. May be filled with custom rifles that started life as a remington but very few true and intact remington rifles could compete bone stock. Luckily for me: I love my accutriggers, I couldn't worry about resale unless I decided to quit shooting all...

    Help me find a quality precision rifle under $1000

    If you want accuracy out of the box and under 1k, I would stick with savage or tikka. If you wanted to put more money in the same gun later, Savage. If you want to put allot more money in the same rifle later, remington.

    Rifle Scopes good idea to place scope as close as possible to barrel?

    I am on the flip side when it comes to magnification. "daylight target shooting" I would want more magnification. Not saying you need it. I usually use my scopes magnification! Range irrelevant. Groups and load development close in at 100-400 yards=24x, Hunting at distance=24x, learning to...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell ET6245FG canted reticle question

    Your "one year bullet proof" warranty is the money back warranty. Bushnell elite carry a lifetime warranty for repair or replacement beyond that, so your covered either way.

    I like the 10x but would vote for the 12x even if they where both in stock.............It really is win-win................ with a slight edge in magnification.
