I purchased the rifle from The Gun Dealer in McAdam, NB on my recent trip to Nova Scotia. These guys were very helpful and recieved a great deal including the bipod. If your ever in the area it is well worth the trip to McAdam.
Savage 12 F/TR .308
Ive been reading all kinds of articles on scopes and it came down to the Vortex PST 6-24-50 or the Sightron 6-24-50. Not that i wanted to, but I have used the Vortex warranty and it is just what they claim....no hassle, send out another scope immediately. Ive never viewed through a Sightron but the reports are positive to give them a good look.
A lot of searching just happen to lead me to the fantastic store of Prophet River in Lloydminster Ab. I live relatively close and have purchased previously from Clay, Harley and other staff members who are knowledable and will take the time to chat. One thing i like about PRF is that they are not pushy salesmen. They will answer your questions and concerns and let the product sell itself. PRF carries a lot of great rifle scopes including the Sightron brand which he had a great selection. I ended up purchasing the Sightron S111 8-32-56 LRMOA-2. As most will say, this scope has amazing clarity.
Sightron S111
To complete the purchase, I got some Lapua Brass, Berger 155 VLD and SMK 155 gr bullets. It has been published enough so i will load them up with Varget powder and CCI primers.
Although my local range is maxed out at 300 yards im sure I have enough gun, i just might have to try and make a venture to BC or Southern Alberta for some education on long range shooting.
Im looking forward to the joys of precision shooting.
Will certainly post some targets when I get to the range, which will be soon....
