Re: Help customizing rem 700 sps tactical
I have a Falcon Menace 4-14.
It has been a very good scope. I bought it to check out the whole FFP mil/mil thing. I have since upgraded to an IOR on my primary rifle.
If you buy from SWFA, there are no worries on the falcon. You will get a 5 year warranty through them, save your receipt.
The ONLY issue I had with my falcon is the same one that everyone has. They use a heavy grease on the orings in the turrets. If you remove the turrets and clean the heavy grease out and relubricate with silicone lube spray, you will be rewarded with nice, sharp clicks, not mushy at all.
The 10X super sniper or 10X bushnell tactical mil/mil are really decent scopes, but honestly the Falcon has two very good reticle designs and the glass is very clear for a scope in that price range (about 385).
I believe they are still one of the best deals out there.
If you would reconsider the adjustable stock, the B&C M40 stock is an excellent stock. Very well designed with a full length aluminum bedding block. It costs about 220.
Trust me on this, you are just begining to spend money. Put the money in glass, look to the Vortex PST 4-16, Weaver tactical 3-15 (mil/mil) or the bushnell 3-12.
I like my falcon, I still have it on a range rifle, but as I said, I upgraded.
With the money you save by choosing an excellent, though lower cost stock, skip the tac bolt knob and get the KRG, you can buy better glass AND get a case or two of SouthWest Ammo run and gun or American eagle 168 match.
This way, you'll get out shooting with quality ammo and begin to make more informed decisions on what you ultimately want on your rifle.
