Well all i can say is optics optics optics. I learned my lesson in 2005 hunting antelope in Clayton NM, and today just re-enforced what i already know.
My ex step father I think said it best, If you buy a 500 dollar rifle put a 500 dollar scope on it. Id rather see a cheap ole savage or stevens with good glass than a tricked out m700 with a tasco.
I also have to thanks tim in tn (tim claunch) again for this rifle. I cant tell you what year I got it but i remember the conversation and the place i was at when i had it with tim like it was yesterday. Tim had found some real good deals on arms list auctions for rem 700 bdl ss in 7 saum and 300 saum. I was torn leading toward the 30 cal when tim said get the 7 and never look back. I am glad i listened this rifle is the most accurate rifle I own, IMO it is unfair to the deer when i carry it to the woods especially with the 168 bergers vlds.
this morning at 7 minutes past first light 330 yds lasered with the leica i lit this lil girl up. I dialed in 5 moa and thru the zeiss she was clear as a bell. This is my longest shot ever with this rifle and shot placement was perfect she ran 41 yds.
