    I should have said, I already have a 3-15 Zeiss HD5 with turres and parallax. As this would be a bush and Tops rifle I wanted to get away from the paralax.

    Any vertical surface apart from the rear of the recoil lug should be taped, which is a bastard on a 75 because there are so many!

    Wow, nice looking rifle. As for the savage, mine shot great but hated the 20grain ammo for sure. Used the 17 gr and the "pattern" closed right up to 5 shots you could cover with a 5 cent coin. ...

    The non-mini action howas are pretty good. The remington 700's with floor plate allow longer seating, and if you want to convert to a mag, then you can.

    I wouldn't bother with a heavy barrel for 223. The hole down the middle is so small any barrel is a "heavy" barrel.
