Thanks...that sounds like what I plan to do. I've watched all the bedding vids I can find & read all I can. My only concern is drilling out the holes for pillar bedding. I have a vice & drill press but that's the only thing that concerns me. I think it will be ok though. I'll let you know how...

I would like to hear from anyone who has used these scopes as well. They seem pretty nice & have all the features one would look for in a quality scope. Lets hear your opinion...good or bad. Thanks

I have a Rem. 700 Mountain Rifle in .280 & was considering giving the HSM Hunter Gold ammunition a try which has the 140 gr. Berger VLD bullet. They (HSM) reccomended a 1 in 11 twist for that particular bullet/load. My rifle has a 1 in 10 twist.
