It is notorious for losing zero, poor tracking, unclear glass and poor light transmition. Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better. True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth. If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

The Burris Zee rings are excellent & trouble free. Walmart carries the laminated stock 700ADL. I really like it for the money. 1st Special Operations Wing 1975-1983 919th Special Operations Wing 1983-1985 1993-1994 "Manus haec inimica tyrannis / Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem" ~Algernon Sidney~

Midsouth Shooters Supply has both all day for less than $190. “When Tyranny becomes Law, Rebellion becomes Duty” Colossians 3:17 (New King James Version) "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

The cheapest place to buy a new scope is ebay. 1st Special Operations Wing 1975-1983 919th Special Operations Wing 1983-1985 1993-1994 "Manus haec inimica tyrannis / Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem" ~Algernon Sidney~

I think Nikon Prostaff scopes can't be beat for the price. I shot three deer last year with this combination at the same time 1 Buck and two does. I had three shots and three deer.

I've had a Banner with BDC on my .300 Savage for the last six years and have never had a problem. I go to the range each year before hunting season and have never had to readjust it. It's sighted in at 100 yds (since my shots are usually in that range) and the BDC is dead on at 200 and 250 yds. One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like "hey, there's an a__hole." - Demetri Martin
