Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles opinion of 7mm-08 rem. vs 308

Castandbals.

I shot the pictured Montans. That scope is mounted OK. A little back, but not bad.

The general rule is that the ocular lens (not the end of the scope, but the lens) be located in line with back of the trigger guard.

In the photo above, the lens is less than an inch further back.

If you'll look at the talleys, there is not a lot of room to move it forward.

Mine is positioned similarly:



In handling these rifles, I have concluded that the odd mounting is based upon a flawed analysis.

That analysis began with the assumption that the 1.5-5 CONQUEST was worth having.

That's a pretty stinging condemnation of the Conquest.

Your mileage, of course, may vary . . . . .
