[QUOTE="trebark, post: 310786, member: 19172"] The evolution of my 308 continues!! Even though I've had great success with the Bushnell 3200 10x40 scope, I went ahead and upgraded to a Leupold MK4 6.5-20x50 with TMR recticle and M1 knobs. The scope is bada$$. Went out to Quantico for an F-class competition yesterday with jmason. It was a great day, made better by the fact that I improved my score by 10 points from the last time we were out. The scope is set-up in 30mm Burris Signature Rings and bases. Used the offset inserts to achieve a +20moa cant on the scope. With the addition of the new scope/ring/base set-up, the rifle now tips the scale at 12.5lbs. Here are some pics....
