Remington 700 Scope Alter

I have had this rifle since the mid 1970's Remington 700 BDL 6mm Rem. I originally had a Weaver stock-still iv power scope on it for a few years then I thought I needed more power in a telescopic.
And so it had a Weaver 3x9 40mm micro runway for shut to 40 years with Weaver rings & Bases and was extremely reliable even idea it was big telescopic.
Today I mounted a Weaver 2.five x eight 36mm G Slam with Leupold Dual Dovetail bases and Burris Medium Rings Dual Dovetail.
I probably could of went with low rings but this is what was suggested. I volition say I had a had time buying a Weaver Scope since I do similar Leupold Scopes and was considering a VX III ii.5x 8 36mm but I did hear some good reviews on the Grand Slam Scopes from Weaver and did want to endeavor another make. I think I even shaved a few ounces off going from a steel telescopic to aluminum.
I hope this lasts me the residual of my life and was my showtime big game rifle.

Nice! Some years agone my son requested that I change the 1974 vintage 3-9x Leupold out for a newer/better scope on our 6mm Rem 700 BDL.

I put a 3.5-10x Leupold on it - wow - even I noticed the difference!

Those rifles deserve good scopes.

Prissy.

The 6mm Remington that I obtained and restored 2 years ago had an older Redfield on it. My intent was to leave information technology on since the original owner used it in that configuration, but the showtime fourth dimension I took it out to shoot I noticed how horrible the parallax bug were.

Mod scopes are truly better than one-time ones.

Range Mean solar day started off bad the up and downward turret was loose had to tighten it. Why on a telescopic I take no desires to punch has turrets you tin index I don't know. Was able to tighten it my friend had a Allen wrench.
Commencement shot was 6 inches right and down 4 inches. I finally got it dialed in my last two groups merely 2 one/2 inches high at a 100 yards.
The load was some old loads from 2006 of Sierra 85gr BTHP & Reloader 19.
My goal today was but go information technology close for Large Game Hunting.
Overall I call up this new Scope is but the right size for this burglarize and should last me the remainder of my life, seemed clear merely I did non have another rifle to compare information technology to.

Scope looks good on that burglarize. Groups are decent - and I'll bet that you tin can tighten 'em upward with a piffling work.

We've had great success with Nosler's 95 grain Ballistic Tip and Reloader 22. Right around 3,000 fps and very skilful accurateness. Results on mule deer & whitetail have been very good as well.

That setup and rifle looks nice. Those groups will work.

Non proverb you need to, but if you lot'd like to effort something different I've had real good results with that same bullet and 47.5 gr's of IMR 4831. Well nether sub MOA in both a 18" pencil thin barreled Model 7, and a 22" barreled Remington 760. And held that blueprint through numerous testing'southward with both rifles. Should get you lot north of 3200 fps with your butt. That was with Remington brass, if using Winchester or Hornady you might take to up the accuse a tad to striking the aforementioned results.

If I had Fotis knowledge of reloading it nearly likely shoot bug hole groups. But this load Sierra 85gr BTSP averaged under two.25 inches at 300 yards. So for me this is practiced plenty for Coyote's. I don't know if it the target I use.
