I traded for this Remington 700 in .243 sporting a Bell & Carlson stock that’s bedded & pillared.
The rifle appears to be an SPS Varmint model with a bull barrel, that was cut to 16.5” and threaded.
It has a Weaver rail currently with a Vortex Crossfire scope and unknown brand rings.
Rifles weights 9.7# as is looks on my scale.
Now for my question; I’m torn on what optic to put on this rifle.
- I hunt in the Southeast, mainly on powerlines, gas lines, food plots, cutovers and in the woods. Shots could be 50 yards out to 400 yards. Either run & gun or from pre-set stands.
- I currently own an SWFA 3-9 (on CVA Scout) and SWFA 5-20 on a built AR15 with an 18” WOA barrel.
I’m open to moving one of the above scopes to this rifle, or buying a new scope altogether for this rifle.
Thoughts?
