How many clicks.. or MIL/Moa does the scope have?
How far out can you reach with it?

The S&B Precision Hunter scope has 48 graduations on the elevation turret that are .200" in adjustment.......it allows about a maximum shot of a 600yds with a 100 yd zero depending on caliber/ballistics.
I just got the rifle so I have not even shot this bad boy yet.....

I have a S&B 4-16 Precision Hunter comming in a few days.
The BDC turret on mine only goes to 32.. so, I wont get 600 yards. Maybe 4-500 with a 30-06

Really don't know....not a lightweight by any means, but the rifle balances and handles perfectly.

The 4-16 Precision Hunter is very limited in elevation travel, but if you can get to 400 or 500 yds for hunting, no worries!!

Nice! How much you think you will be selling it for? Will the fifteen remaining rounds of the box of factory ammo be included?

It’s a nice rifle. Probably a good thing the rifle features a muzzle brake, as the bolt handle’s positioning looks like it could leave a mighty large bruise on the shooter’s trigger finger under the full recoil of a 338.

Looks pretty heavy to me... Good for packing in the timber all day?????
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
