:)I am looking for a scope to put on my first Ruger M77 MkII RSI in .308 which has the polished blue finish (not matte like the Hawkeye). I do not want the scope to over power the gun or take away from the looks. However, I want to be able to have a good picture and shoot deer up to 200 yards...

I am a 60 year old hunter and do not target shoot other that to be sure my guns are properly sighted in at 200 yard zero and I know where to aim at 300 yards. I own 2 Leupold VX-3 4.5x14x40 with the CDS dial and 1 with the Boone & Crockett reticle. I also have a Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40 with the...

Thanks!

Just bought a NIB Ruger MKII in .280 Remington. I plan to put a VX-3 4.5x14x40 CDS scope on it. I do not reload. Before I order a dial I know I should be sure that the gun likes the ammo. However, before I begin I thought I would ask about experience ya'll have had with Factory Ammo. I...

Come on man! I guess ya'll either don't like the idea of a mini-14 target or you are tired of talking about scopes? I assumed this site was full of varmint hunters, long range shooters, and people with good suggestions on optics. Thanks!

I am trying to decide which scope for a Ruger Mini-14 Target Rifle. I am sure that I will shoot it at the range for fun but mainly plan to hunt coyotes with it in South Texas. We do not get too many "second shots" in the brush county but it should be fun having that second shot handy when it is...

Thanks!

Finally got to look at the Leupold Golden Ring 12-40x60 at Cabellas. I like the eye relief (30mm)which the one thing that I do not like about the Redfield Rampage (17) that I own. I was reading about the new Ventana which has eye relief of 27-24mm and was curious if anyone has tried one...

Thank you Sir!

I talked to Leupold today and 2 guys told me that the original Gold Ring 12-40x40 spotting scope would fill my needs for hunting and that the HD only enhances colors. I posted the question yesterday and although I have 26 viewers nobody responsed. Has anyone used both? Thanks!

I hunt in South Texas and sometimes in New Mexico and Colorado. I am considering the Leupold 12-40x60 in either the original or HD versions? I have read good things about the Vortex Razor HD but what draws me to the Leupold is the 30mm eye relief and solid reputation of Leupold. I do NOT...
