[QUOTE="ahuntnfool, post: 405439, member: 24027"] Ok so far the consensis is that a 14x scope is plenty ,and about 50/50 on replacing the stock.It looks as though alot of gentlemen on here are using the Leupold VX3 4.5-14x40 scope,but there has only been one person say anything about the Sightron and it was to move up to the S3 model. The only problem with moving up to the S3 is $$$ which I am limited and the S3 models are higher magnification scopes for target shooting and the higher magnification will limit my early and late shooting times. The Leupold scope has 71 moa windage and elevation and the Sightron has 80 moa windage and elevation.So does everyone else feel like the S2 Big Sky 4.5-14x44 with A/O is a flop of a scope and I should go with the Leupold ?? The Bell & Carlson Alaskan 2 stock is less expensive than most other stocks and it comes with a full aluminum bedding block.Will this stock be a good one??I have a friend that beds stocks so I would take it to him and have it skim bedded.Also I do my own scope mounting and set up and have been doing that ever since I started shooting. I have mounted my fair share of scopes and feel like I do a good job of it as I have never had any problems with any that I have mounted. Also the rifle has only had 3-4 boxes of ammo shot thru it so the bore should be okay ,and I will have to see if I can find a good smith close to me and have the barrel recrowned Thanx for the input gentlemen....keep it coming !!!..
