I have had a 111 in .30-06 for a while now, and had mounted a cheaper scope (Bushnell) and that was it. I finally decided to step things up, but I'll have to do it in stages. I decided to start with glass, and then pick up other pieces during deer season. I'll do most of the heavy duty changes in January.
So, after much research I ordered an SWFA SS 6x42 scope. This is kind of a compromise as this is currently, and probably for a good while, my hunting rifle as well. I ordered Warne Maxima bases and rings as well. Mounted the scope last evening, and promptly ordered an EGW 20 MOA picatinny mount this morning. The scope mounted, but I have 0 adjustability forward and backward. Since I have decided that I'm serious about this rifle, I decided to fix this situation prior to sighting in this weekend. New mount should be here Thursday and I'll remount the scope then.
Future changes will include a heavier barrel, it has the 22" sporter barrel now. Also a better stock as I don't care for the tupperware. Not sure which stock I'll go with, probably Manners or McMillian.
Should be a lot of fun, I'll probably have plenty of questions for you quys!
