    Red I put a Sightron on my Savage, pretty happy so far. A chap was selling a Sightron and a Mk4 on the IMAS forums.

    They are apparently very accurate, but I'm not sure how they go on game ? esp at low speed.
    The 300 Gen I Berger is very good on game at low speed, but isn't mag friendly, the 285 is I imagine.
    Do you want to part with a box of those 285's, being as you're not using 'em ? ?

    If I do I know from experience I will be wanting them happens every time...

    Can Quentin get you some ?

    If you want some I might be able to get some.

    I would look at the 300 SMKs first if you want economical pills, that are well proven on game.

    They should fit the mag a lot easily than the Bergers.

    The Scenars shoot very well, 250s or 300s, the 250s will be nicer to shoot with the factory brake as well, but don't use them on game.

    Lol you are getting better

    Agreed don't look through a S&B, IOR, Premier, MK4 or VX3/III & a NF because you might be disappointed with the glass & the max mag of 22.

    But they work very well & very seldom fail under any amount of sustained abuse, dials are absolutely repeatable & can be had for around half the price with much more internal elevation than a moa S&B.

    The reticles are great esp the NPR1

    Tussock, if you wana get a rise start trying to bag 375s

    the only decent thing about a 375 is the 7 in the middle
