With that type of base/rings I'd probably have several scopes set up for it.

This rifle is going to be my "set it and forget it" whitetail rifle. I will zero 1" high at 100 yds and then never touch it.
It will be used for whitetails in my home state of PA and down in WVA sometimes.

I'm weak. I'd need a less "swappable" set-up to keep from experimenting.

Great choice of caliber too, 300MAG. The Grand Old 30-06 will just flat do it all.

You get added style points for chambering in '06. Most want more exotic when building, this total package rocks.

Thanks guys!! I have always liked the 30-06 caliber.
Just like jobyjob said above: it will pretty much do it all!!

Another good thing about the 30-06 is all the best reloading dies are made for it and at each level of sophistication they're in the lowest price category.

All the components just look like they were made for each other. Really a nice build. Thanks for sharing.
I should have just
bought a [bleep] T3...

Looks like a very nice rifle,it'll get the job done for sure. That scope is larger than I thought it would be, which I think is a good thing, it fits pretty well. You said it's pretty lightweight, was that a goal for this rig or just turned out that way? If so, why'd you go with the tactical-ish scope rail?
