For all of you that weighed in on the Model 70 thread, thank you. I ended up getting the 30-06 featherweight in the blued finish. Beautiful rifle.
Now I'm stuck trying to pick my optic and I am conflicted. I can't decide on whether or not I should go with a classic scope like a 3-9 or a fixed 6 power from leupold, OR if I should go with something with a bit more features and nicer glass. I've got my eyes on a Nightforce SHV 4-14 F1... It's got a reticle I like, and the glass is better.
I've got about a 500 yard max shot that I can take, I personally don't like dialing turrets so I was looking for a scope with MOA subtensions in it so I can just use the holdovers since the distances are known.
However the price is killing me and I have to realistically ask myself how often I would be taking a 4-500 yard shot anyways. I may just be served with a normal hunting scope in that $400 range. It would match the classic rifle better as well.
Tough call again...
