I lied and I am sorry.

You guys get a used .44 lever action rifle in yet.

You didn't see the used Marlin 1894 on the wall when you were in the other day??

 

[Kase]

am i the only one that goes for a 30/06? I learned a long time ago that saying you wont ever do something again usually results in you doing it

No worries...I too am the 30-06 fan anyday

 

[UncleMike]

You're right, but it's not my fault. Blame it on !

Welll...............
OK
We'll let it slide this time.

I have no suggestions for a scope, I'm a few steps behind the spot you're in.

I do know the feeling of having 'sniper powers' that you speak of.

I had the pleasure of shooting an FBI guy's .308 at the plainfield facility a few weeks ago (incredible range btw). There was a line of us civilians so I didn't get to ask him much about his set up.

All I can say is that the Trigger: awesome. Scope: big and bright, despite having no illuminating internals and simple crosshairs.

I kick myself for not interrogating him about what I'd just killed a 4 of clubs with.

It has been occupying my mind a lot lately. .308 .308 .308 and I always was a .30-06 guy from mighigan days.

what's the price on that btw??

 

[Amishman44]

All is forgiven...please post photos of the new rifle!

oh well It would probably be quicker just to call.....

The scope you were shooting was an IOR. They have really good glass but their internals leave a bit to be desired and as a result I avoid them.

If you're planning to use it for shooting long range on a regular basis save your pennies and top that new rifle with a Nightforce NXS. Their 3.5-15X and 5.5-22X scopes are the best bang for the buck. Tough as nails, great glass, solid internals, illuminated reticles and you can get a reticle which matches the turrets.

Congrats on the new rifle!

Thanks for the advice, Phylodog! I will get look for one and check on prices.

Que,

You might want to look at LaRue. They have some good pricing on bundled NightForce optics and the superior LaRue mounts. (Hold on to your socks....!)

Results for Optic and Mount Combos:NightForce

 

[E5RANGER375]

Well Que, at least you broke your word with style and good taste

all is forgiven

 

[junglerogue]

But the question is...did you inhale???

What socks! I would have to sell the gun for a down payment on that scope!

My, my, my, don't I feel stupid! Inside joke...

 

[ironjaw]

My, my, my, don't I feel stupid! Inside joke...

[reload4ever]

Its ok! Get it home,put it in the middle of the rest of your guns and mommy will never notice.

Wife's stupid question #27: "Do you REALLY need another gun"?

Wife's stupid question #27: "Do you REALLY need another gun"?

Mine asked that about fifty guns ago.
The answer was the same then as now.

YUP!!!

Wife's stupid question #27: "Do you REALLY need another gun"?

"Yes, because the law says I can't have another wife." I say it in my head, but it just doesn't seem to come out of my mouth.
