Friends:
I'm GTG with the .30-06. Ruger MK II Stainless, CRF. It has a 2 1/2x8 on there now, but now the decision is whether to go with a higher top end on the scope like a 3 1/2x10. All Leopold's, they have earned my business over decades. I'm seeing you tube videos of longer shots up in the alpine area and thinking mebbe it would be smart to go with something more powerful scope-wise.
On the deer I expect to use 150's, with 180-200 grainers on the black bears. At this point its all factory: blue box Federals or Green and Yellows.
And no, absolutely no plans to lay it in the water, The only tape on it will be a swatch of electrical tape over the muzzle.
Thanks for the input so far!!!
That must be blue.
