    Re: Best Bang for My Buck? Oh wow that weaver is very tempting. Does anyone have experience with it?

    Rifle Scopes Best Bang for My Buck?

    Re: Best Bang for My Buck? It's not necessarily that I wanted a fixed 10x, its just I liked the price and reviews of the Bushnell which happened to be a 10x. Im open to anything.

    Rifle Scopes Best Bang for My Buck?

    In the near future, I will be purchasing some type of .223 rifle (Most Likely a Savage 10/Stevens 200) and need some glass to put on top of it. I will be target shooting for the most part, on a very rare occasion maybe a yote or two. shooting anywhere from 50-300 yards (longest range around is...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44

    Re: SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44 As far as as mounts and rings go, are these a good choice? After reading a lot, TPS seems to be pretty good. http://swfa.com/TPS-Tactical-Scope-30mm-Rings-P41902.aspx http://swfa.com/TPS-XP-Tactical-1-Piece-Base-P42058.aspx And is it worth it to pay...

    Remington 700 vs Stevens 200

    Re: Remington 700 vs Stevens 200 In general, are aftermarket parts cheaper for the Savage 10/110 than the Remington 700? Or maybe vice versa? The Stevens is really appealing to me for the price.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44

    Re: SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44 I'm a first time "tactical" rifle shooter. All I've ever used are iron sights and cheap nikon's and bushnell's on my muzzleloader for hunting. Which did you prefer?

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44

    Re: SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44 Forgive my ignorance here, but the Vortex looks like it has a couple more knobs than the SWFA. Does this mean it has more adjustments?

    Remington 700 vs Stevens 200

    Re: Remington 700 vs Stevens 200 About how much would I have to spend on a fairly good barrel if I went the Stevens route?

    Remington 700 vs Stevens 200

    Re: Remington 700 vs Stevens 200 Shameless self bump... So about how much would I have to spend on a good barrel for the Stevens 200. And as far as triggers go I was always told Timney is the best, are Rifle Basix better?

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44

    Re: SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44 Both scopes would be plenty out to 500yds correct?

    Remington 700 vs Stevens 200

    Re: Remington 700 vs Stevens 200 Thank you for the info. I would consider my experience level moderate, maybe less on rifles. I have a Ruger 10/22 and a Springfield 1903 so this will be my first tactical rifle with a scope. I figure .223 is a great round to start off with, and cheap to have...

    Remington 700 vs Stevens 200

    Re: Remington 700 vs Stevens 200 Forgot to mention too, I'm not 100% stuck on the .223 round either. As much as I'd like .308, almost all ranges around me are 300yd max. My grandparents farm that I shoot at has about 100-200 yards open range. Anything beyond those ranges I have to shoot into...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44

    Re: SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44 I've read tons of positive stuff about the SWFA, but can't find too much on the Viper PST. Keep the suggestions coming! I did read that the SWFA SS was FFP and the Vortex PST was SFP. Is this a big deal?

    Remington 700 vs Stevens 200

    Re: Remington 700 vs Stevens 200 Thanks for the info guys. I had forgot that the 700 varmint is 1:12 twist, and that's a turn off. I'm really liking the Savage 10FPSR, the heavy barrel and trigger are obviously nice, and I like that it comes with an over sized bolt handle. I really hope my...

    Remington 700 vs Stevens 200

    Looking to get back into rifles, and not sure what to get. I know for sure I want a .223 and either a Remington 700 SPS Varmint or Stevens 200. If I went the 700 route, I would only be adding on a new stock when money permits after I recover from the rifle, optics, and mounts/rings. The stock...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex 2.5-10x44

    I'm getting a Steven's 200 in .223 to start a rifle build, and obviously need to put some glass on it. I shoot anywhere from 100yds to 300yds, sometimes even 500yds if able. After reading reviews, and with a limit of $600, I've narrowed it down to these 2 variable power scopes and a fixed power...
