    The new (to me) 10FCP

    Re: The new (to me) 10FCP I have the same rifle/caliber and it easily shoots inside of an inch with most loads. Many claim .5 MOA all day long but that hasn't been my experience. I have about 500 rounds through it and I plan to bed it when I get the time.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for hunting scope

    Re: Looking for hunting scope Unless your buddy is strictly shooting rock chucks, gophers, etc he is looking at to much magnification. I have the same experience as Gunfighter above. Both my Leupy 2.5-8 and 3.5-10 scopes have served me well on deer, elk, bear, caribou and moose at ranges...
