Ok Im back. All my rifles wear Leupold rings and ''medium'' Leupold mounts. I own Leupold, Nikon, and Burris scopes, Nikon has exelent clarity, even down to thier pro staf models, but are no where near as rugged and tough as Burris, not to mention I dont like circles on my reticle like thier bdc model. However, I own 2 Nikons and love em' both with standard dulpex reticles.
My 2 ''long range for factory rifles'' wear Burris 4.5x14x42mm a/o bplex scopes on Leupold Medium 2 pc. bases and Leupold rings. Both are on ''factory'' Model- 70 Winchesters, with 1;10 twist bbls and walnut stocks.Trigger adjustment(by me) 1 is 270wsm and the other is a 300 wby. Both shoot well with hand loads.
Ps take your time breaking in that rifle. I always take a new one out of the box, and take the stock off and clean everything especially inside the bbl, then put it back togather, before I shoot.
