    thanks form, the ones you put on there are for 50mm mediums. I assume I need the lows for a 40mm scope. I did reach out to sportsmatch, and will call AZ monday. Hopefully they will get some in soon. I admit the dovetail concerns me. I remember using one for a 22 years ago and nothing would ever...

    help with rings

    I cant find a old set. This search is pretty much ruining the purchase for me tho. How hard can it be to find quality rings to fit a tikka in the low 1 inch version.

    help with rings

    I dont need elevation. I only shoot 50 to 100 yds, no more than 300 ever. I will see if I can find a set of the old ones. Thanks

    Im leaning towards Talleys and confirming they are good. Not a ton of recoil with the 308. With that said the raptors do have blemished in medium height but not sure what I would need for my 3x9x40. I assume low but what do yall use? Are the raptors pretty much bombproof?

    mesa fft 308 or 7prc

    thats where im leaning, the 308 is lighter, and the 20 inch barrel has got to be nice for hunting out of blinds here. the 7prc was a better price, and more power so made me waiver a bit. but I think the 308 and keep my shots to 300 an in and I shouldnt have any issues killing anything I will...

    mesa fft 308 or 7prc

    Hey guys, Im looking at getting one of these two rifles. I love 308s and have a ton of good ammo already in house. Love the recoil, etc. But, I am somewhat concerned over the 20 inch barrel in the 308. So, Im considering the 7prc and 22 inch barrel. Now, I mainly shoot whitetails in mo at 75 yds...

    Can a newbie even tell?

    Years ago I had a 100 dollar pair of binocs, thought they were fine for what I did here in mo woods. Went to shoot prairie dogs and stopped at a cabelas and looked thru a pair of 400 dollars binocs and was shocked at the difference. Then, I made the mistake of looking thru swaros. I didnt buy...

    Your preferred .308 brand/load for the range or hunt?

    I dont have much history with anything else, but I love my nosler ballistic tips 165 for deer size stuff and accubond for elk size stuff. The ballistics on the boxes are the exact same and my rifle likes both so I dont have to move my scope around.
