    Sightron vs Weaver vs Leupold: Help!

    Yeah, I do like the 7mm too, Been thinking about a WSM but don't like the feed issues. Might try a 284. Great case, feed well and a little exotic

    Where has Nosler gone?

    Sightron vs Weaver vs Leupold: Help!

    Yep, those Germans do make nice glass but who's gonna mortgage the house to buy one. For my money Minox is about the best value for $ there is. I've got 2 already and one more coming
