[QUOTE="sav300, post: 1004489, member: 11998"] I am looking for some input from the more experienced on a rifle I am looking to build next year. Primarily a deer rifle and I don't intend to get crazy with range. Due to the mirage where I hunt the max shot I would ever be presented with will be near 650yds. Here is what I am looking at. Rifle is a Remington 700SPS tactical in 308 20" barrel Optic choices are a Leupold LR/T 4.5-14x50 or a Zeiss Conquest HD5 5-25x50 First off I am aware that alot of people do not like the Hogue stock, I myself do, but I can always upgrade to a McMillan or B&C. That being said what are your thoughts on the rifle choice? I was looking at that setup since I will on very seldom occasions shoot past 300yds and a more compact rifle is desired for the walking I do. Secondly, optics for me have always been cheap. "Best" I personally have ever had was a Millette and having the opportunity to finally get some very good glass has presented itself to me. What input do you have on the two brands? Would I be better off with a 3-15 on the zeiss or take advantage of the extra zoom? I don't typically shoot on the lower power anyways. I am looking for any advice, reconsideration, or personal experience anyone has to offer before I start spend money on this. Now fire away! gun) [/QUOTE]
