Further Evidence of Cabin Fever

[autoxforfun]

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a Savage Elite Precision in 6mm CM.  This has been on my list for awhile and not getting out to shoot what I had got the better of me.  So it should be here in about two weeks...and then 10 days to clear.  I got a pretty good price from the local Sportsman Warehouse.  So I now need to decide what Scope to put on in while I wait.  I could have built it from scratch but this will cost me less and it all comes assembled.

Looks like a heck of a rifle!

Nice bob.. will be watching to see what you think about it once you get it..

This has pretty much everything I would want if I built one.  I have a couple MDT chassis' and I am a Savage fan.  The only downside would be a better barrel, but from what I've experienced, I won't be disappointed with the factory one for the first year.  Then barrels are easy.  I really don't need another rifle but what can I say.......

So what optic are you thinking about?

So what optic are you thinking about?

 Not sure.  It really depends on what I plan to use it for.  If it joins my 243 Win in shooting steel, then a FFP will probably be selected....so a Vortex or maybe even a March.  If I use it to shoot paper, then something with higher max magnification....like a Golden Eagle or NF.  I am open to looking at many of the options.

Bob have you got any of the gen2 pst's with the ebr7c reticle.. its got a tiny little dot in the center thats about as small as the fine crosshair in the scr golden eagle.. i really like the two i have.. also ranger188 has started using a trijicon that he really likes over the ge.. maybe he will chime in on which ones he has..

 Thanks Grant.  I have seen you and others speak highly of the Gen2 PST but I don't have one nor have I ever looked thru one.  So something I will do.  Most of what I look thru today are NF with a Golden Eagle and March High Master mixed in for my serious rifles.  The AR's use Sightron or Athlon....they are great for that purpose.

I'm thinking the GE for your application.

[Ranger 188]

Here you go, Trijicon used but a little cheaper than new.
Great scope own 2. little better glass than the GE.

 "little better glass than the GE."

Opinion or fact?

[Ranger 188]

2nd guessing me now? 
Fact, in my eyes. Owned a GE for a couple years.

"In my eyes" is correct for your eyes not saying you're wrong but "better glass" varies from person to person.

I know you know that but your statement could be misconstrued.

Dave, that's why I said my eyes.
Everyones eyes are a little different and see's thing's differently.
But, since I sat behind one for a couple years, (GE)I might have a better
comparison that someone just looking thru his buddies for 1 minute.
Their is nothing wrong with a GE and I know you own like 7
Just my 2 cents and that's all it's worth.

Edit, just because I own 5 GE scopes doesn't mean I think they are the best and I'm not defending them just making sure any new higher end scope buyer understands they need to do their own comparing.

I understood what you said / meant and have no opinion because I haven't looked through the other scope mentioned.

I was just making sure any potential scope shoppers reading the thread understood everyone's eyes are different and they need to evaluate for themselves.
