Awesome looking bangsticks boys !!!
I only have a pic of the newest member of my fleet.
.243 AI 1-9 twist Hart # 7 fluted hand lapped SS super match
Mcmillian A5 with Williams one piece bottom metal
Leupy M4 8.5 X 25 X 50mm currently with junk rail and rings (couldn't wait to pull the go handle) will upgrade to Badger in time.

She will be fed a diet of 87 GR a-maxes with RL-19 or 17 maybe even Vit. N160 for propellant. To heavy to carry much, good truck gun though.

:( Oh then I guess the rifle will be no good to me then huh Chris. That almost sounds like something I told a guy once :wink: The scope is a Nikko Stirling 4-16x50 with the new LRX ret which is like a BDC. This is the third one now that I own. The clarity is amazing for the price of these scopes and the one on my .243 rides alot on my 4 wheeler gun rack and gets bounced around and always seems to be on target when I need it so I would say they are also very durable.

i had to throw that out there i just couldn't resist :D Good to hear the Nikko is working for you. i just got done doing some scope shopping with my dad and he ended up with a leuopold that i am really impressed with. We held it up to other leupolds but for some reason this one was more clear and then we held it up to a zeiss and it was more clear than the zeiss and then we tried swarovski and i really couldn't tell the difference. Its feels good to come across some good glass now and then.

I like them so far I would say they are just as clear as my Leupold and Nikon's. Seem to have a really good eye releif as well. I figure if I like them as well as my high dollar ones I may as well keep going with them until I hit a bad one that is :mrgreen:

Oh tyrant it is still a fairly heavy pig even with little to no stock but felt recoil is little to none with the knoxx stock.

Daryl- can you really tell the difference in a 22-250 with the new knoxx stock. I know there is practically little to no kick the way it is. I am just curious, I have always wondered that ever since I seen Les Johnson shoot it. I know the recoil is reduced by a sping, just curious how the spring is going to work when its -30 below out, I wonder if its going to get stiff. You will have to let us know!

Hey, Lyonch.

How do you like that Leo 8-35x50 vx-III?? I've been drooling over that scope for awhile but can't decide if I'd rather go with the 6.5-20x50. Is the 8 power low enough for close coyotes? Also-- have you had a running one in the scope yet and how did that work? I'm also curious what you think of the varmint hunters' reticle if thats what you have on the scope. I'd be interested in your thoughts.

I think you are thinking of someone else as having that scope :? As far as what i think about a scope like that well i dont feel that a high power scope like that will do many people much good unless your prairie dog hunting. When i come across some money im thinking having the same set up that jamie and brad shoot on there rifles done up. I would really like to start customizing my gun some more so i can stop blaming the gun on the misses :oops:
