    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 4200 Elite 3-12x44 Tactical mil/mil

    Would this be a good starter scope for getting into long range shooting in addition to hunting? It's got mildots and mil adjustments for elevation and windage and an illuminated reticle. If so, the Nightforce may have to wait as the price on the Bushnell appears to be very good.

    Rifle Scopes Hunting and target scope - help

    Background: Looking for a scope for hunting and long range shooting (targets or varmints like coyotes or hogs). My rifle is a Savage 10 Precision Carbine in .308. It won't be going on missions overseas. Shooting will be at a variety of distances not just one distance. I have a good rangefinder...

    Rifle Scopes Cancel Viper PST for Sightron SIII?

    Both are currently unavailable. Supposedly, the Viper PST is coming soon. The new Sightron SIII models are 60-90 days away. Sightron has been around longer. Vortex apparently has excellent customer service. I'm hoping to never need customer service. I'm wanting either a mil/mil or...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron SIII 3.5-10x44 Mildot experiences?

    Anyone have this scope? Experiences? Considering it as an alternative to the Vortex Viper PST I currently have on order. Seems like it will do just about everything I need (hunting and long range targets). Has SFP instead of FFP and no illuminated reticle.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 3200 10x40 - what size rings?

    I went to the Bushnell website, did a search here and on other sites to no avail. Is this a 30mm tube or 1 inch tube? Thanks, Scott

    Rifle Scopes Savage 10 PC in 308 incoming... Need scope, etc.

    Will be used for both hunting situations from 75 - 500 yds (primarily hogs) in sunlight or low light conditions and targets out to 600 - 800 yds. Would like to keep total cost of scope, rings and scope base <$1000. I'm thinking that the typical hunting scopes with duplex retical wouldn't work...

    Narrowing down my choice for first precision rifle

    I'm wanting a rifle that will work for both long range shooting and hunting (primarily hogs). For caliber, I'm going with .308. I'm leaning towards the Savage 10 Precision Carbine as it comes with the Accu-stock and Accu-trigger. I understand the Accu-Stock has a very good reputation. So, I...

    Hunting & Fishing Using a HB rifle for hunting?

    Im on the fence about getting a HB bolt rifle in .308 for hunting scenarios. It seems the weight of a Remington 700 SPS Varmint or Tactical plus scope & rings would be somewhat of a pain to lug into the field any distance. Do you guys go to lighter barreled rifle when you know you will be...
