I’m looking for a scope to put on my Remington 700 7-08. I’ve narrowed it down pretty close between these two.
Both scopes are SFP. Both are highly regarded here as good scopes. Just not sure if I need the extra mag and extra weight. Being they are pretty much the same scope build wise from...
Great advice. Practice practice practice. I wouldn’t take a shot I don’t feel confident in. Whether it be distance or the way the shot has to be made etc. When I get the scope for the job I will def start practicing distance so if I ever wanted to take those shots it would be just as you said...
One guy does. I’ve shot with him two or three times out to 800-900 yards. Not with my hunting rifles tho! Haha. I’ll shoot you an email or pm on here shortly.
Far as possible with the 7 08 but within reason. 4-500 yards. But within reason of shooting ethically. That’s probably getting out to the max range with that round also. I think.
You’re probably right. Im new to the scope stuff and there is endless options stuff is way above my head. Why I...
I checked out the NF on here a few minutes ago. Always heard good things about them every where you go. Only thing I seen is they say the reticle is thin at low mag. Most all my shots are going to be less than 100 yards at home in thicker steep country. But I want to be able to stretch that...
That’s for adding that link!
I’d be willing to spend 1000-1500 possibly. Less if I could find a good used one here. If it’s worth it to add to my current rifle. Which seems the 7 08 will be fine.
I guess out to around 400 yards distance wise if the 7 08 is capable of that with a good optic.
What scope or scopes would you recommend.
Was leaning toward adding a vx5 to it one day possibly so may just do that and save my money on a new rifle. But just not sure what scope would be ideal for this rifle.
Contemplating buying another rifle in the near future. Not sure what way to go. I hunt mostly whitetails in Georgia but try to make a trip every year or two out west but have only archery hunted so far. I currently have a Remington 700 7mm08 with a vx2 3x9-40 and a browning 308 A bolt with a vx3...
I was a little concerned about the lid attachment method without seeing it in person over the buckles but after getting my hands on it isn’t going to be an issue. I think it’s pretty quick to thread those in. If they were doubled over like most are I can see it being a problem but it’s super...
I didn’t have to much of an issue with slipping with the k3 on my treestand but since the option is there to have them I’m gonna give them a go. Bet they will work great when strapping over bulky items like that.
There’s a lot of lock ons on the market right now. Too many options to choose from!
I ordered a few auto locks. But I’m hunting whitetail with climbing sticks and a treestand 95% of the time at home. Figured they may work pretty good for that.
Got an email with a tracking number myself. All the time following this thread for months waiting and waiting. Cant get my hands on this thing fast enough!
