Kletz, When Nikon came out with the M-223 series of scopes the first thing I thought was I'm putting one on my Savage Bolt .223! This rifle is 25 years old but was Kentucky windege all the way past 300 yards. Now that I have a Nikon M-223 3-12 Rapid Action Turret mounted on it it no linger sits in the back of my gun safe.
I have taken this rifle to shooting climics/events and guys have blown up 4 inch jars of Tannerite at 600 yards using this rifle. I loaned it to a buddy to take to S. Dakota Prairie Dog shooting and he said it was amazing. So, go ahead and put it on your bolt action rifle, I think you'll be thrilled.
Glad you have also found Spot On Ballistic web site. Pretty amamzing all the data you can enter and get for your shooting needs. Best of all, FREE !
