[QUOTE="6.5Swede, post: 1211894, member: 85118"] HARPERC, Excellent points. My build is going to be a 284 in about a 9 lb. rifle. I intend to use the rifle for some long range target shooting and hunting, but want it to remain portable. Most say that is not enough recoil to be an issue. But, over the last 2 yrs I have noticed when I put heavy duty rings and mounts, along with heavier more reliable optics, a few of my rifles started shooting better. It really started me to thinking. The most striking change was in a 30-06 hunting weight rifle. A picatinny rail and a Super Sniper 10x scope was installed, a known load was tested, and the rifle started grouping 3 shots from a cold barrel under and inch easily. My line of logic is if this change was helpful, why not just do the 8x40's for that little bit of extra insurance. Now I'm starting to wonder about some of the rifles I traded away that I thought were not shooting good enough. Maybe it was junk scope mounts and scopes? Thanks for your comments, Steve [/QUOTE]
