[QUOTE="ntg, post: 790061, member: 32568"] Thanks, Mud. Those rings and base look great. I probably didn't make it clear, but I'm planning on keeping my 721 as is for now, but will try to save up and put a better stock on it down the road. Also, I'll look into that scope more, but it I really want to keep it simple and slimmer. I'm pushing very [U]thick[/U] brush at times when hunting and the less the knobs (turret and battery for reticle) stick out the better. I don't want the illuminated reticle. I know it's probably better to have a true LRH set up and a "normal" hunting set up, but I don't see it in the cards for now. I don't really see me hunting anything big (mulie on up) with it out past 500 yards for a number of reasons. One being, the rifle is in 7mm-08. Also, the caliber is set, as I was given the reloading supplies, dies, etc. needed for it. This is the rifle (yes, I know some of you will laugh/scoff at): [URL="http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/CenterfireBoltAction/x7.asp"]http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/CenterfireBoltAction/x7.asp[/URL] Anyway, keep the good ideas coming. I need all the wisdom I can get. [/QUOTE]
