so how'd it go?

Ok, I went to the rage and shot the loads I had ready to go. Gonna try to post a pic of the target. It was not a good day at the range, I knocked my .243 off the bench and knocked my scope off while I was trying to shoot a test for that rig. I switched rifles and shot the 7_08 and then went to town and got tools to reposition the scope and returned to find out the scope on my .243 is pretty much ruined but it was not a high dollar rig. It was a Simmons 3x9x40 that was on the gun when I bought it but it ruined my day just the same because I skinned up my rifle.

The center group should have been a bug hole but I pulled that shot that is off to the left of the bull. I was still aggravated about knocking my other rifle off the dang bench. Anyway I think I have found a load for this one....

Yea by far the best three shot group of the round. Sure made me feel a lot better when i walked down range.

I'm still sick over dinging up my .243.

Good excuse to buy one though. :-) any suggestions? More torn on what rings and bases to settle on than glass.

Mostly hunting but am gaining interest in shooting at longer distances.

Budget should be good as long as we don't go the Nightforce direction. LOL i don't believe i would pay their price unless my livelihood depended on it.

the SWFA scopes get great reviews as well as the primary arms scopes...seekins rings get great reviews and the EGW bases get great reviews and will not cause you to take a second mortgage out on your house....if money isnt a problem night force and the vertex gen 2 scopes...American rifle Co rings and murphy precision bases.

Swfa is the direction I have been looking on glass. Will check out the rings and bases mentioned. Thanks for your help.
