My first Browning...

[Norma]

Well I figured I would celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 7mmRem Mag. I decided on a Browning A Bolt II Long Range Hunter. It took 7 month to get, by the looks of it , it was well worth the wait. I put a Bushnell 5x15 Tactical with Weaver tactical mounts. Can't wait to try it out. Oh ya, added BONUS, it was shipped the day after the cancelation of the LGR.

good balancing job on that G96,
how about listing all those cartridges one by one from left to right?

HaHa, That's where the shade comes into play. Start guessing....

That right there is a very good looking rifle!

I'd venture to say it won't be your last Browning! I like them greatly, too!

Concrats on the beautiful rifle, and chambered for a wonderful cartridge!

Nothing, I didn't want to buy a new scope, it was between that or a silver 3x9 or a 1.5x4. I'm just going to target shoot with this one for now.

Thanks guy's, shot it on the weekend, grouping is not as good as I was hoping, will give it another good clean up, adjust trigger and check action screws.

A variable scope anywhere from the lower power 1.5-6x range up to 3-9x would work pretty well on that rifle.

Sorry, I said my first Browning, I didn't say my first hunting rifle. I have many other hunting set ups with your scope preference. Thanks

^ Oh no offense.

I have 2 5-15x scopes myself. Mine are on small caliber varmint-paper punching rifles. I've got a CZ-452 .17HMR and a CZ-527 .223, and have Bushnell Legend 5-15x scopes on each.

If you were using that rifle to hunt huge fields, or powerline right-of-ways, then the 5-15x scope might not be out of place.

Cheers.
