[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 949765, member: 51650"] Your two platforms are too different to use the same scope set up. The S&W will use a MSR ring setup to get over the front sight and that puts it several inches high on the Savage. 4X12 on the 223 Savage, like a Leupold or Nikon for <$300 discount. 3X9 on the S&W if it were mine. The limit on most MSR's are their short 16" barrels. That drops the velocity to about 308 speeds with bullets that are not even close in BC. From the Savage the 223 is solid on small targets to about 400 yards with good ranging, Lasers don't pick up ground squirrels at that distance but their mounds will return pretty reliably. 12X is plenty at 400 yards and limits the mirage. Just my $0.02 KB [/QUOTE]
