[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 841155, member: 43153"] Thanks MTR, for setting the mudrunner straight on that. The scope is a Tasco model TSS36x44, circa '02. It was one of Bobby Hart's own personal scopes, that he sold to me for a VERY reasonable price. Obiously, it has to be some kind of XLR benchresting scope. It measures in at almost 20 inches long, has extremely fine, almost invisible x-hairs. and screw-on metal end caps. It doesn't have any mil-lines or dots, "save" for the 1 teensy-weensy microscopic little dot right where the 2 hairs cross. It's turrets feature 60 (1/8moa) clicks per turn, and has scaling that allows the # of turns to be kept track of. I was looking at the order sheet for the new barrel yesterday, seeing that it uses a 34" blank. That made me start thinking real hard about upping my desired finished length to 33", for another 10 bucks. But what holds me back, is that even at 32", it s going to be an extremely tight fit in the hardcase that I will be using for it. Any opinions on whether or not I should go the extra inch, and forget about the hardcase? And just to clarify, I consider my self to be much more of a "shooter", than simply a "hunter". Most of the people around here do hunt, especially deer. But the vast majority wil fire maybe a few sight-in rounds before the season begins, then 1 or maybe several more, depending on how many tags they have. FY I - Tags sold out this year faster than they ever did before - I ended up with only 1 antlerless tag. But then they put the rifle away, not to see any action again until the next season. But I like to do WAY more shooting than that. I like to shoot at paper targets of course; along with coins, soda & beer cans, & other canned goods, disposable batteries, 'sploderz - as I like to refer to "reactive" targets, etc. But you can bet your sweet petuties, that if I was able to get a fix on a mouse at 600yds, I would have absolutely no qualms about taking it out - and I would feel proud for doing it! OK, I gotta bail, so I canget SOME work done today. [/QUOTE]
