Picking it up tonight. Guy says it's an easy 3/4 inch gun at 200 yards with factory ammo. Got 4 boxes of Ammo. Now to replace the throw away scope...

Are those Warne rings?


An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Scopes sell quick around here, if priced right. I seem to get more $ if I happen to sell one on EBAY, but the questions, time period and hassle doesn't pay out, IMO.

Very nice. What trigger is in it and what is it set for?

Check Midway or Optics Planet for the Leupold Mark 4 Tatactial 4.5 x 14, 30mm. They were $699.00 on close out. You can spend $$$ but this will get you in the game.

Bergara Trigger and not sure on pounds but it is adjustable. According to reviews most are set right at 3 pounds. The barrel is a number 5 contour I think. Scope is going to have to wait a minute or 2. LOL Over spent my budget. I'll slip it in later. wink

Personally I wouldn’t buy one of these. You can spend that much $ on a better scope In my opinion.

3/4 inch groups at 200 yards is really good for a factory gun with factory ammo and throw away scope.

He had a Sig Whiskey on it and put this one back on to sell the gun. He said this gun puts 10 shots in a quarter at 100 yards using Precision Hunter from Hornady.

Can't stand vertical rings.

Good rifle though.

Bobby, if you need to get it on paper you can come out to the house. We can shoot out to 800 yards.

If it shoots that well, why ditch the optic? What do you want to do with it that that scope won't do?

Curious what is better?

Mark 4’s have served in the various divisions of military for years and have an excellent track record.
I can’t think of a better buy for glass quality, tracking quality, resolution, or ability to repeat all of that for $700.

Is it because it’s not in MIL’s? Or have a fancy lit retical that changes colors, or has a bullet drop compensated retical?
