I wouldn't swear on a Bible, but I'm pretty sure in 33 yrs of shooting, started when 10, I've only had 2 centerfire rifles lose zero, and both were when the Tasco World Class 3-9's came unglued!
I don't baby them, but careful not to go knocking them into things scope first and since the Tasco's have bought Leupold, Bausch and Lomb (sp?) and SWFA chicken scope.

10: Cold and kinda warm over 5 minutes or so. When it comes to BG, where the rifle puts them will not be the reason for success of failure.

battue. Pre 64's don't shoot that good
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

Yep. I'm going to slap my 30-06 fwt into a swirly soon and see if it shoots as good as your 308. Damn, it might even look just like your 308 too.

FWT to boot and a 1.5-5. Had to be luck. Poor rifle. You should put some Leupold QR's on it since you keep changing scopes . Oh, wait it looks like it does have QR's . I think the first time I saw it, it had a 6x leupy, then a 3x, now a 1.5-5??? It's this one I'm presuming: Very nice collection Battue. I really like that pre 64 308 fwt in the mcswirly stock. Thank you. I have the original stocks that went with them and it now wears a different hat. The new Leupold 3x. Very nice rifle!!!

That be it. Flipp'n scopes. Although this flipping is on another .308W Sometimes I even use it in the real world: Didn't heat this other Win .308W up as much. Even use it on occasion: I tell you, I'm wasting those barrels. I better start placing them in a saving plan�.

Great pictures buddy. My swirly is similar to yours, but the pattern is different (pre 64 montecarlo). A good guy here wanted it to go to me and made me a deal I could not turn down. Hopefully I'll have it by early next week.. Your rifles are tack drivers. My old rifle only shoots like this...: Damn battue, I like those Leupold QR's. Blackdog1 was showing me a set on his pre 64 fwt '06 a while ago and they look like the catz azz. I may eventually end up going this route as well...

+1 That was the first thing I thought of after seeing the picture. One of the hardest thing to get a new shooter to do is exercise patience between shots and give the barrel time to cool. I struggle with this when my son (18 years-old) is at the trigger. Normally they just want to shoot. .243 win will heat up a barrel quickly if not given ample time to cool. Even the heavier barrels. Hot pipes do nothing good for groups. Doesn't do the throat any favor's either.
