purchased a 1-4x SWFA illuminated scope on the tax day sale, need a rifle for it. think it might be geared toward ARs, but I'm partial to bolt guns. especially 18-20" barrel bolt guns. suggestions?

Well....since we've got to tell you how to spend your $, get a 77/357 and throw it on it. See if you can dial for 38 special's out to 300.

I like the 77/357 idea, but for going out to 300 I would rebarrel it to .25-20 and run Sierra 90 grain BTSP's.

I've got my 1-4 on a 18" bolt rifle chambered in 6x45.
No complaints from the kiddo or me with it

A 1-4X. That is geared for a .17 or a .22.

Otherwise why bother with this little size.

Are you asking because you got it on sale ??

CZ527 in 7.62x39 marriage made in heaven.

You'll thank me later, especially when you experience that set trigger.

You mentioned being partial to bolt guns but I've got a 1-4x on my Marlin 30-30 lever gun and feel that's it's perfect for a woods rifle. At least now you've got an excuse to buy another rifle. I can relate to that.

I have one on the way. Have considered putting on the AR, but I am really liking the idea of having it on a 20" 7-08.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Great caliber, but IMHO a 6x45 deserves a bit more glass than a 1-4. [Linked Image]

Mine will get a 2.5-10 Nikon IRT
