What do you use on a long action - Talleys? Yes....and turn them whichever way you need to make it work. Here's a pic of the new (to me) Ti in 30-06 with the FXIII 6x42. What could be more perfecter.....other than losing the wart....which I will do? 6-1/2 lbs as pictured. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/P10206931.JPG)

257,
That does look about perfect. I went ahead and ordered a set of the Talleys here on the campfire last week. Should have them shortly, then all will go on a KS 280 and if it looks like yours I'll be doing fine!!
Thank you for the picture.

You bet, muley. The 6x42 is so forgiving as far as eye relief and eye box. And those are Talley low's, by the way.
Have you thought about AI'ing your KS?? I just got an original KS stock and will send it to Pac-Nor (thanks to remfak's suggestion) to have Penny measure it for barrel fit. It will be a 280AI (also at remfak's suggestion) and will probably wear a M8 6x42 with MC4 that is currently at Leupold getting a good going over.

Well actually no, I don't really even hardly use my KS much since getting a 7mm08. It pretty much sits in the safe but figured it would look good with a 6x42. But have thought about trying out a PacNor in 25-06, PacNor is a easy drive from where I live and thought it might be fun to go see them sometime. Supposed to be nice folks to deal with.

I talked to Penny yesterday and Amy today.....at Pac-Nor. They are A-number-1 as far as I'm concerned. They wanted to make sure I got the twist rate I needed on a 358 Win barrel...and I actually changed it from a 14" twist to a 12" twist after they checked with their barrel-makers.
I sure wish I was within driving distance.....you're lucky!
And I sure can't say anything bad about the 25-06!

Yup, nice to have them and Leupold in my backyard, and now with McMillan having the KS stock again, thought about building a faux KS 25-06 and having PacNor match the KS countour, could be a fun build.

I'm running 6x42s on my 700s in 270Win and 35 Whelen. Can't think of a better option for those two rigs.
