Remington model 14

[zacharoo]

Just got another model 14 in 30 remington. My third.This one in in good shape. Want to let daughter shoot it. It has an old Leupold 4x. Checked with Leupold was  made in 1970. Would like to reload with 130 grain speer  flat point bullets. Should I keep the scope as is or send it to Leupold to make the adjustments to new specks of 1/4 in. adjustments at 100 yards. Any help would be appreceated. also how about a little reloding data. on the 30rem. with 130 grain bullets.

That is what I have been using . Just like to see what other guys out there have used with their 30 rem . in a model 14 or 141.

My own model 14 is a 35, so I can't help much with 30 Rem experience.

But I agree with Mauser use 30-30 data at starting loads. I have used the Speer 130 and old Sierra 125 hps on a number of deer in light recoiling loads thru the years. Both good bullets.

As for the leupy if it's working leave it alone. If you do choose to return, you could look at a reticule change. I like wide bold reticules for close range guns. The German no1 is a favorite!!
