Thats looks pretty much perfect - the SL in the Hunters Edge sure makes for a nice all around hunting rifle!

About as good as you can get!
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

looks good, although more scope than most whitetail hunters ever need.

looks good, although more scope than most whitetail hunters ever need. IDK, I’ve been using 4-12X for years. My personal fav. Jerry

Nice, that’ll work! Is there clearance between the objective bell and rail? Hard to tell.
I’m not an organ donor. I don’t believe in an afterlife, but I’d rather cover my bases in case there is and I need everything. You just never know.

As far as the scope, everyone has an opinion and preference.

Does it shoot any better now than it did before you made all the changes?
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
