[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 426617, member: 21068"] [I]Sorry to change gears on you guys but the glass to go with it is still a toss up in my mind. Are there any particular scopes I should be looking to adorn this rifle with? What are the general price ranges I'll be looking at with these scopes? I don't neccesarily need the best but I definately want good solid quality and most importantly repeatability...and some practice messing with adjustable turrets would probably do me some good too.[/I] Scopes are like @$&holes, everybody's got one, and everybody has a different opinion about which is the best.
