Somebody offer an opinion on how well these rifles might group if you shoot Sierra #1390 (55 gr HPBT ). I have some on hand might try them in a pinch.

EGW Silver 20 MOA rail arrived in mail yesterday.
Can hear Final Jeopardy music playing in my head whilst pondering cut/thread before shooting...
Will QRW mediums give me clearance w 4.5-14x50 Leupold on that base or can I go low?

You all mind sharing what optics your putting on yours? This will be my dedicated LR coyote/wolf rifle (and other LR Varmints) I will also Dial a lot at the range banging steel. I am not sure of the true effective range (between bullets and my shooting skills) but I am thinking a 75 OR 80 grain ELD X should get out to 6-700.
I am not an optics snob, but for this one rifle, I am going to splurge a bit on the scope...Heres a couple options I have looked at so far.....
SWFA SS - 3-9X42
VX5 HD 3-15X44 CDS
Vortex Viper2 - 3-15x44
Pipe Dream - NF NXS 3-15X50...LOL - wife my divorce me if I go this route.

No. Travis has a Ruger American 22-250 with an 8" twist...
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Just ordered a 8 twist 223 from Whittakers last week was going to order the 22-250 as well but I didn't keep up with this thread and missed out on the magazine and case deal. I've already got a T3 Varmint in 22-250 but that nagging little voice in the back of my head is telling me to buy this anyway.

I thought I'd try one of the new GPO's that Doug from cameraland has been writing about for a few months. I'm going to try a 4x12x40 with a plex reticle. It should be all I need for shooting out a couple hundred yards or so.Has anyone else tried one of these scopes yet?

Ordered SWFA 10x MQ yesterday since they were on sale. Going to put them in some Talley lightweight lows and I should be set. Now I just need a set of Redding dies and Lapua brass.

Mine will be getting a 3-9x42 SWFA. I am hoping it lasts longer than my 1-4x24 SWFA that broke after less than 30 shots.

On a budget and using optics currently have, so Leupy 4.5-14 in QRW and swap on a silver H1 Micro for chores around Ranch. Guess I'll just check Objective clearance with the medium QRWs.
