[QUOTE="ebaas, post: 1343967, member: 102609"] My 280 Ackley was finished up recently and is only missing one thing, a new scope. I think I have found the end of the internet in my quest for the perfect scope for this project. This will be a duel purpose rifle, hunting and also shooting at a friends range on the farm. At this point shots are limited to a maximum distance of 600 yards. I seem to be changing my mind daily on what I want to do so I was looking to see if anyone has any thoughts. Currently the rifle weighs a shade under 8lbs. Remington 700 action, Brux barrel, and Manners EH2 stock. I am hoping to keep the scope in the 20ish oz range. As of right now I'm interested in something with an elevation turret that can be calibrated for my exact load. I love the simplicity and built in CDS system of Leupold, but haven't read terribly great things about its tracking. Kenton offers custom turrets for a few of these models as an option as well.....
