[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 336805, member: 11717"] Shooters, Welcome A lot of good info and advice in the previous posts. As already mentioned, the Sendero is a great factory LR platform, The stock is a big part of that and so is the barrel. Almost every Sendero is an excellent shooter out of the box. With the other Rems, it's much more of a gamble and on average dont come close to the Sendero. IMO, NF is about the best LR scope available but you will get some different opinions on that. If they are out your price range, there are quite a few others that work well "most" of the time :) Clearidge and Vortex have some good scopes and Vortex is coming out with a new LR freindly line which include MOA reticles. You don't really need to understandt MOA to use it. If you can count you can use MOA. Your ballistics program will tell what MOA to dial in and you just count and dial. BDC (bullet drop compensating) turrets are really cool but have some limitations. They are for a specific load at particular altitude and temp. Some variation from that inside 600-700 yds is OK, but once you get out to longer ranges, the variations ecome more critical. And if you decide to change your load, or your load shoots 50 fps less in the winter, etc., your BDC turret is no longer good. Having said that you can use both systems. The turrets aren't hard to change out and you can always fall back on the standard MOA or milrad turret. Angle shots are another variation. Cheers, Mark [/QUOTE]
