Deal.


Hey, I just took my old bushnell off my remmy -06 and threw a nikon 6-18 on there.  I gotta tell you, with the trajectory of those 165grn barnes TTSX bullets, sure doesnt get me some nice groups at range.


It's amazing what a little extra scope power does my my groups.

Because my .270 will do nicely handle anything needing shooting. In North America that is...

Being a 6x18 I guess it is a Buckmaster, they seem pretty dang good for the money.

Definitely the best for the money I've owned.  I had it on a 7mm RUM before I sold that rifle, did that caliber justice.  I'm glad I put it on the -06 though.  Glass is as good as any leupy, and even the monarch doesn't do a whole lot better. 
 
The bushnell was a cheap 3-9, I was comfortable out to about 400 yards max with it.  This scope has seen 800 yards so far, and I just invested in the 1k gong.  :)
 
Bought the gong for my 338RUM that i stacked with a millet lrs6-25, but now that I have the optics on the -06..... why the hell not??  I'm gettin 1/2MOA with my barnes loads so my -06 is plenty accurate for that gong.

OK, I did it. I bought an Ought 6. Found one at a Pawn shop, rem 700, BDL for $339. Shoots the tightest groups of ALL my rifles. 100 yards, under avg 3/4 inch group.
Since the cataract started forming I've been happy with 1 inch to 1.5 but this 30-06 shoots Suuuu-weet! Recoil is minimal and packs  punch. Killed two Axis and a white tial buck this year.  ONLY PROBLEM? I bought it for a re-barrel and it shoots to good to change. Dang! I got to buy another Rem 700

Hay Banzo, the older you get the better those power scopes get.
