Anyone here into firearms?

I just bought a Remington 700P in .308 Winchester/7.62X51 for some long range precision work. That was the easy part....now the optics.

No kidding, too many excellent optic choices out there.
It boils down to what features you want.
AND how much you are willing to spend.

As it stands right now my future precision .308 bolt gun would get an U.S Optics LR-17 (3.2-17x FFP reticle) with a Mil Scale GAP reticle. My bolt gun build is a little ways off so it really depends on what is available at the time of my build.

Which version of the 700P did you get?

I'm leaning towards the Savage Model 10 Precision Carbine for my build. Especially after I found 3 companies that make 10 round mags for it. (No aftermarket/special bottom metal needed!)

I got the 700 Police with the heavy 26" barrel & synthetic stock.

Just ordered a Nightforce 5.5-22 X 56 scope. Now to just find the direct fit mount, and I'm almost done. Also have a competition Mpod on its way for a front F class rest.

MOAR reticle! Price...... too much! Remember, I live in Canada. Land of the free and grossly over taxed.
