    Rifle Scopes Honest scope base opinions

    For the average weekend shooter.. Why does someone need a badger, Seekins, near or other high end scope based vs a egw or something in the 40-50 dollar range? Is it quality? Fitment? Big name? Just like to have "the best"? Enough money that you don't care? I'm looking for a SA 700 base for a...

    TRG 22 scope base question

    Last week at RiflesOnly, I found my Sako base would not allow the spent shells to reliably eject. The shells would hit on the quick release mechanism and bounce back into the chamber. (I have the base with only two rings, not the three-ring version.) I wound up turning the base backwards, so...

    Sako M995 (TRG-S) .338LM: poor man's base rifle?

    Well guys I found a M995 in .338LM and was wondering if it might be a decent option to consider as an entry rig/build base. From some previous posts it looks like restocking might be an issue. Seems McMillan has figured out the lower metal, so it can be done. Also have a call into McRee's as a...
