[QUOTE="IceSniper, post: 80888, member: 2286"] Hey guys. I used to browse these forums alot before my computer went haywire and died, but now i'm back [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] . I recently purchased a Savage M10FP in .308 for some long range hunting and target shooting, it was topped with a cheap Nikko Sterling 4-16x50 w/ 30mm tube but the elevation and windage drums were back-to-front and i've had to send it back to the factory (Still waiting for it to return), so now i have a brand new rifle in my safe that i've only been able to put 8 rounds through [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] . From the one 3-shot group i fired at 100y with Remington 150gr Core-Lokt ammo i got a group of 17mm c-t-c!!! I know you can't really determind accuracy from one 3-shot group, but it shows potentual. Needless to say i'm keen to try some 168gr Matchkings and A-max's [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] . Also when i ordered the rifle i Specifically asked for Leuopold rings and bases but when i picked it up the guy at the gun shop had ordered Millet mounts and assured me they are better....which i doubt. have you guys got an oppinion of these mounts? (These have horazontal recoil stops and are not 'turn-in' style) Also could you give me a couple of links to where i could buy a +20MOA base? I have only found one shop in australia with them and they are asking $220ea which i think is too high. -IceSniper [/QUOTE]
