Remington 700 Mountain Rifle scope choices

[m1008]

I plan on using one on a chicken gun this fall, just have to get Korth to change the parallax

Thanks Rob, the versatility of the 3-9 sounds good too! And I like how light the Leupolds are.

I'll get some pictures for sure, its going to have to live with an old beater Burris FF II 3-9x40 for a while though

I have one of those Burris scopes on my 280, a Rem 725. It worked so well, I just left it on there. - dan

Thanks. The late Bevan King put the bbl on for me. I just had it put into a TI take-off and it all came together. Handles very well.

Any other std MR would be the same.

I have a custom 700 MR here in 257R. I topped it with a VXIII 2.5-8 B&C years ago.

I switched it out to a Leupold 4x fixed and a VXII 3-9 and both times went back to the 2.5-8.

many has done the same thing and coming back to the 2.5-8x36 and it is really a great choice.

I got a browning A-bolt micro series 284win with a leupold 2-7x33. Its a great setup for hunting blacktails in the timber here on VI. I can easily reach out to 300 yards if needed. I usually leave it on 7 power.

Those are definitely nice and light, and a good scope! I like them too, or the Burris FF-II version.

SuperCub, thats a great rifle for sure

Thanks! Thats a KS Arms barrel with “aggressive” flutes at 22”. Shoots tiny groups!

 

[Joel]

Is that what it is? Sounds like it shoots as good as it looks. Heck of a setup!

What height Talleys are those on it?

Jim thanks for your feedback on it. You too Buckmastr.

[/QUOTE]I use an S&B fixed 6x42 on my “mountain rifle” but it’s a heavier model I wouldn’t really suggest for this gun. Great scope and fits the “theme” though. In time I may replace it with something lighter. Also carried it around this and last year but never connected with anything. DGY you might like it; the 1 inch models are lighter

Tell me more….
