[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1565561, member: 79865"] So far, I've been satisfied with the 4-16 HST that I used on my 7mm08. It gave me plenty of power, especially when you consider that 1) I'm still learning to better read the wind and so that limits my shot distance, especially on game, to ranges easily covered by 16x and 2) the factory Remington barrel was at best a 1 1/4 moa rifle. That rifle is now at the smith becoming my first custom. I bought my first ffp scope for the build, but because 1) still applies, it is also a 4-16, and it should do fine until I can both make better use of and afford a better scope. I think my absolute ideal would be 4-32, but it will be a while before I can afford that... [/QUOTE]
