Not even a 6ARC! Think Continental Divide mixed country, deer, elk. Antelope. Rifles 7mm Remington Mag, 26" heavy sporter 1in 8" meant for the 180 ELD-M. The longer range open country don't want to carry too much rifle. Not currently threaded. 12X FF on there now. 1st. 6.5 Creedmoor Kimber Montuna. Most likely to be carried/hunted. Wears suppressor and Bushy LRTSi 3-12. Previously 3-9 SWFA was a good fit. 1st. 243 shorty truck gun, 18" for 95 NBTs. Not meant for long range, 6X FF here, dope and confident to 600. The 6X is a good thing here. Second string for whatever reason. Needs bloodied. 30-06 24" hella accurate original 721 in sporter stock. 2nd Needs bloodied. Thinking of trying some 190 ELD-Ms here for grins. Scopes SWFA 6, 10 and 12X Mil Quads Bushy LRTSi 3-12 China alert Athlon 3-15. No trust or doubts but not for the first string. Well?

It's totally classic. I don't think I want any more scope than that on it. It's a pure hunting rifle. I just wish I had another one just like it in .270 Win. What goes up must come down, what goes around comes around, there's no free lunch. Trump's comin' back, get over it!

Goodness, that would be easy! LOL Thanks man. Yeah, me too I recently picked up an 03-A3 sporterized in the 60's .The barrel still 24" ,the drill tap job 1st rate perfect alignment Weaver bases . Put 30 mm med height Weaver rings on it and clamped a 10 x SS mrad in them. Minimal movement bore sighting and was good to go in 6 shots. I am going to wring the old girl out 165's,168 and up to 180. Previous owner had the original trigger worked over to eliminate the 2 stage and it now is smooth at 3.5#. I think most people who shoot 308 today would be amazed at what the old but timeless 30-06 will do. MB " Cheapest velocity in the world comes from a long barrel and I sure do like them. MB "
