[QUOTE="James H, post: 142373, member: 5449"] Rem.man Yes it’s still the factory barrel. If I do ever rebarrel it it will probably be a 14 twist as I now shoot nothing but 75gr Horn HP and 75gr Horn V-Max in it. They make it a little easier to hit running coyotes. When I purchased this setup it cost $125 for the barreled action and I believe the stock was $55, 90% inleted. I have not used the Sightron on this rifle yet, stock needs rebedded. It previously had a Tasco 6x24MD on it. Image quality on the Tasco was very poor but tracking was very good. Most of my rifles wear Sightrons I find them a very good value. Image quality is very subjective but I have found that the clarity of my Sightrons as good as anything I have compared them to, that includes Leu VXIII (can’t say that I have looked through a VXIV) and Zeis Conquest. With one exception. The 4x16x42MD on my 30-378 doesn’t seem quite as clear as the other Sightrons I own. When I was pig hunting in OK I picked up a used 4x16x42MDST to replace the one on my 30-378 (matches the stainless action) for $200, felt a little guilty about the low price but if memory serves me I purchased the one currently on it for $190 on ebay. I have a 6x24x42MD on my 338LM and I have to say that I prefer the 4x16 over the 6x24 because of the reduced field of view. Running game is a little hard to pick up with the 6x24. The models I have were just discontinued and are being replaced by the Big Sky model which reportedly has better image quality and a higher price tag. James [/QUOTE]
