My perfect rifle is a near clone of Brad's SS 308. Mine is a 1st year production of the EW in an Edge stock instead of a 1990's Classic. I bought it used in 2009 or 2010. I picked up the Edge stock used in the classifieds here a year later. I've had 3 different scopes on it over the years and it currently has one of the Cabelas Euro Instinct 3-9X40's on it. Cabelas had those on sale last year for $250 and I bought 2. Same scope as the old Zeiss Conquest. With a Leupold on weight was 7 1/4 lbs. This scope adds a couple of ounces, but is worth it to me.
It shoots anything I feed it very well, not picky about ammo at all. I can't think of anything I'll ever hunt that it won't work for.
