Thanks for the info. It helped me decide on buying this very scope and I will add it to a new (old stock) Ruger M77 300 win mag. I had some doubts about the starting point at 6x but intend this rifle to be used for longer ranges for moose and elk anyways, and in this area there are enough...

I have seen ads for Rugers and Remingtons in 30/40 but never in Canada.....'would love one that can be scoped! It took me almost a year after buying my first military US Krag to find a supply of ammunition. I lucked out with finding 10 boxes of new Remington Core Lokt, then older Imperial and...

Hi Marty, are you in Canada, land of gun control freaks? If so drop another note if you are looking to sell or trade your Ruger 6.5........thanks.....karl:D

Thanks Farout, .....I will look into the Burris and the insert kits also as I only have read about them (and the adjustable Weaver rings), never used them or any adjustable rings or others with inserts. I'll try the Weaver rings that I ordered first as they may provide enough correction for...

Redrilling and installing better bases/rings may be the most practical thing to do, but I just ordered a pair of Weaver Grand Slam windage adjustable rings (curiosity is at play) for a very nice 8mm M96 Mauser sporter that obviously has mis-aligned Weaver bases that I bought via an on-line gun...

Thanks for a great article/review. It's well worth looking into as the results look fantastic!

Hello from NE Saskatchewan, Thank you for the invite and especially for the great discussions and information provided on this site. I was fortunate to out fox a 5x5 elk on the opening day of rifle season this year so have had nearly a month off from real hunting to scout some deer and moose...
