Well that's good news! How would you rate the optics? ---compared to what? Are they clear and crisp or are they blurry like a NC Star that was hit in the lens with a snowball??

The tactical mounts will not aid in accuracy. They are probably stronger than the Talley's, but for hunting, any type of hunting, this is a non-issue. You might want to double check on whether or not your receiver is drilled for 6-48 or 8-40 screws though. Some of the guys that built tactical rifles drill for the larger (8-40) screws. You will need to know that before buying any mounts. You can be sure of one thing and that is it's going to be an accurate rig either way. GA Precision doesn't fool around.

This is the non typical hunting rifle he builds with a 25" barrel and a McMillian stock. I did not know if the tactile style mounts would aid in accuracy. The added weight will not be an issue.

I totally agree about spending all this money for a rifle and then getting cheap mounts. If the tactile mounts are better then I will get them. I just wanted to ask before spending the $300.

Thanks for all your help

Has anyone got anything negative to say about the Nikon Buckmaster series?? Are they flying apart in little pieces??? I am curious about the 4.5X14 Buckmaster because it is so long that it would actually fit on my old Winchester and not bang into the rear sight.

Another candidate would be the NEW Bushnell 4200 4X16 side focus number---it is very long in the tube..... (signed) Pedro Eduardo Antonio Bustamante Y Pain In The Ass-O

My wife's grandfather had 2 crows or ravens I don't recall .... they talked ! He said you split their tongue .... ? Where's my tweezers ..... he may have been joking about the tongue deal .... but they could say alot of words and recognized family members and called them by name when they came outside . They wrote it up in the local paper and alot of people came to see them ... drove him nuts ... then one day they were gone ... he thinks someone stold them ... they had their wings clipped .]]> Sun, 11 May 2008 17:45:24 +0000 http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11148&PID=101649#101649 Rifle Scopes : Scope Selection http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11182&PID=101648#101648 Author: pyro6999
