30/06 after forearm work

[peternap]

I did the O ring fix and relieved the forearm so it's completely free floated.

It isn't gonna win an Olympic medal but not too bad at the 150 yard mark.

[Slufoot]

Looks great!
I'd hunt with a gun that shoots like that anytime.
Ain't it great when you finally get'em shootin good!

GOOD SHOOTING!
Slufoot

[mauser98us]

Nuthin wrong with that. Good job

[Odin]

At 150 yards that will do the job any day.

BTW, what make of scope is that?

BTW, what make of scope is that?

I was afraid someone would ask that.
Most of my rifles have Leupold and I have a couple Nikons, Burris and Bushnell. The Bushnells being the Line I draw on cheap scopes.

I saw these at a gunshow and the fellow selling them needed money so I got one less than half price I got it for fifty couple dollars)

It's a SIMO and I had read a little about them on the net but never seen one. Pentax spent a bunch of money in China, building a plant to make these and all accounts I read (There weren't many) were good.

The optics are GREAT...as good as my Leupolds. It has an illuminated, mil dot cross hair and I have had it on a couple heavy hitters including the 12FH...and it ain't broke yet!

How well it will hold up over time, I have no idea, but it's interesting. Good optics with a 50mm objective is amazing in itself on a cheap scope.

It's supposed to have a lifetime warranty but I bought it using AmEx so I have a year no matter what.

[Big Blue]

I've seen $1200 rifles that couldn't shoot that good at 100 yards. Great job!

[zoner]

that will put the meat on the table

[The Montanan]

Your ready to hunt with it for sure.

I’m glad to here that the Bushnell is performing well for you.  I have had good luck with them also.  Currently have 3 and about to acquire a 4-12 x40 adj. objective to mount on my Ultra .223.  I call myself frugal (some call me cheap) so the Bushnell line fits right into what I plan for scopes. 

[Swampman]

Most scopes are made in China.  The ones that aren't are assembled from Chinese made parts in some other country.  I prefer cheap scopes myself and $149.99 is about the most I'll pay.  Good shooting.

I didn't get into shooting until after the days of "pay as much or more for your scope as you did for the rifle" had passed. I am sure there are still some holdouts that remain steadfast in this way of thinking ( I won't call it old thinking, because there was good logic behind it), but as quality has gone up and prices come down, I would prefer to buy another rifle and a scope, than pay $350+ for just a scope. It will be interesting to see over time if low cost scopes become throw-away commodities, rather than lifetime keepers.
