Thanks for the advice. I'll try the Leupold scope that I already have on a 20MOA base. It's a pretty nice scope and has the mil-dot reticle. If I'm happy with it, I'll wait on the Nightforce scope for my next gun, which right now I'm thinking will be either a 300 WSM, or a 300 Win Mag. I do...

After much consideration, and numerous hours studying all the great posts, I've decided the .308 will be my first long-range cartridge. I'm a M700 fan, and have decided to get the LTR in .308. I already have a Leupold VX-III 4.5x14-50mm scope (1 inch tube) that I'd like to mount on it for now...

Thanks for the advice, I'm really leaning towards the 308. One of my reasons for being so interested in the Winchester Coyote is that it is available with a stainless barrell and I like the look of a laminated stock. I currently have a Remington .223 varmint with synthetic stock, and it...

Hello All, I'm been reading all the very interesting posts, and have decided I need a new gun. I'd like to start out with a factory rifle and probably won't shoot past 300 yards. Generally, I like Remingtons, but I think I'd like to give the Winchester M70 Coyote a try and put a Leupold...
