Thanks. Its a simmons whitetail classic 6.5-20x50 adjustable objective. Im very happy with it, especialy considering the low price ($150) Is clear and transmits lots of light. The shot above was not only 250 yards, but with only 10 min of legal shooting time left (so about 20 min after official sunset)

223 Axis XP shooting Hornady 55gr FMJBT over 26gr Varget at 100 yds. I'm not sure if I used the Lead Sled that day. Probably.

Ace - that's some pretty good accuracy from an econo-rifle. I hope to post some range results later today or tomorrow. I just spent 2 days modifying a new 25.06 Edge.
The trigger pull was rated for 2 hands until I shortened the spring a coil or two-
The stock was flex-o-matic until I stiffened it with alum. rods.

and so on.

As it sits right now, it feels nice & tight. Swapped the Bushnell package scope for my Bushnell elite and so on....

I really expect good stuff from it. In fact, I've been neglecting my '06's & .270 since I got the 25.06 edge.
I hope they're not mad at me for not paying attention to then........ :P

To the Original Poster of this thread - I say go for it. You won't regret spending a little cash for a lot of rifle. You'll have the opportunity to learn how to improve the accuracy & consistancy of it. It's kinda win/win if you want to shoot, modify, learn. improve, etc, etc.....

AND.... everything you need in the way of info, parts, tech support is right here at Savage Addiction Central :o :o :o :o
