[QUOTE="les strat, post: 1496167, member: 107323"] Well... sort of... It is ordered. Hopefully comes in tomorrow. This will be my first excursion with 6.5C. I am partial to the 110 line and plan on using it for some long-range bench time, yotes, and fields I hunt that are over 300 yards for whitetail. My old 110 30-06 with sporter barrel is a 1-3 shot wonder, then groups start walking at the range when the barrel gets hot, so I wanted the heavier fluted barrel for long shooting sessions, plus the Accustocks feel great to me, and I love the Accutriggers. I will be topping it off (for now) with a Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 I have and possibly some Talley rings (open to other higher-end suggestions). Eventually I will upgrade the glass. I will be replacing the included 2-piece Weaver mounts with a pic rail. Question: for shooting out to 500 yds and beyond, should I go with a good 20 MOA rail? I have about 30 MOA elevation adjustment up to play with on the Monarch, so I am thinking I should be good with a flat rail (*Now this is coming off my other Savage mounted with a DNZ medium rig, so IDK). I don't think I will be shooting past 1000, and I don't want to jack up my closer shots if need be. Appreciate any input, and will post actual photos when it comes in.
