    Rifle Scopes Nikon Prostaff for hunting?

    Re: Nikon Prostaff for hunting? I have 4 Nikon's two Prostaff's, a Buckmaster and a Monarch. They are pretty good scopes for the money. When you look thru the Prostaff 3-9x40 glass the whole area, then pick up a 3-9x50 and repeat. They may be about $30 more but I think you will be impressed...

    Re: Ruger 10/22Target or the Savage 64TRR-SR? Thanks TP, Nice common sense approach to the delima I am in. The 10/22 does lend itself to a semi-custom build with readily available parts. Since they are both semi's they cannot be held to the same accuracy standards as the bolt actions which I...

    Ruger 10/22Target or the Savage 64TRR-SR?

    Re: Ruger 10/22Target or the Savage 64TRR-SR? Well, it would appear everyone uses a bolt gun to practice with just like me, no input on semi-auto, semi-tactical .22's I priced both of them, big difference in price. Likely to go with the Savage, maybe I will post a writeup on that one. Thanks, JOE
