[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 527174, member: 30902"] I'm jealous. I love that part of Idaho. I've done a lot of bird hunting around Boise, Meridian, and Weiser. You should be able to put together a decent rig as you describe above. My only question mark would be in using the Stevens action vs rem or savage as parts are going to likely be an issue for you at some point. 10x is adequate for most things out to about 500yds for a good shooter, but beyond that even a deer sized target starts looking pretty small. If you watch the classifide ads here and keep an eye on ebay you can occasionally find a nice 6-18x vari x II for the same money you'll spend on the SWFA fixed power. Keep an eye on Cabela's as well as occasionally they run some great sales on Leupold. BTW I've also seen some awesom Mulies and Elk along the River there, so good hunting. [/QUOTE]
