Post by: Jamieb on December 26, 2009, 10:17:39 AM: I've got a Leupold VX-III 4.5X14X40 on my 7mm right now but I think I'm going to swap it with a 3.5X10X40.
I like that 14X for shooting long range but the field of view is to small at 4.5 for getting on target fast at close range and staying with a moving target in the timber. So if your taking opinions on scope choices my vote is for a Leupold VX-III in 3.5X10X40 or in second place a VX-II in 3X9X40. Mt rem 700 in 7mag is the first rifle I grab from the safe weather I'm hunting deer or elk, or just going to punch rocks at long range.
162gr A-Max's for fun and 160gr. Accubonds for drawing blood.

Post by: longrange7mm on December 26, 2009, 10:51:54 AM: how many rounds have been through it, did you have the barrel scoped? sounds like an alright deal as long as it is not tumbling bullets. if it is well you still got a good action to build another one :chuckle:
