Best inexpensive rifle scope ..and a secret
TinyTim
116fxp3 30-06. Stays rock solid..shoots 1moa .. .probably better. My
friend and I shot it, sitting .-leaning on a shooting table...no
bags..no rest and got 1"...3 shot groups at 150 yds!!!!!. We are both
over 65. It loves Remington 180 CorLokt ..
Break in cartridges for the Savage were five cycles of four -
Remington Managed Recoil (125gr) and two Federal High Energy...latest
sku P3006TT4. ...almost the ultimate extremes of high and low
pressure from factory cartridges. Is break in important? I do not
know. All I know is that rifle is one helluva an accurate shooter.
It was NOS ($399) and has the old synthetic stock everyone bitches
about AND is pre accu-trigger. I adjusted the trigger using the
stock screws etc to maybe 5 lbs and it breaks like glass... with some
overtravel that I think is a big positive. I do NOT understand the
logic behind minimizing overtravel. On the contrary, I think you MUST
HAVE some overtravel in a "hunting or sniper" rifle... and I BELIEVE
it can be easily proven if you try it at the target range in a logical
manner.
Yes that is the "secret".. Overtravel....try it ...you will like it
....Happy New Year.
Then I bought a new NOS Simmons off E-bay ...$50 for a normally
$90 unit...that stays rock solid on a .243 single shot. ..apparently
1MOA again.
I was looking at the Tasco Tasco 4-16X by 40mm TR Scope for $100 and
decided I'll stick with the $50-70 Simmons stuff since I do not think
I can keep up with anything better, If I win the lottery I will get
some $1500 Leupold and a Nikon and a Nightforce and see what they are
all about.
Based on my experience with the Savage-Simmons pkg,.... I am not a
good enough shooter ...nor do I shoot the distances .....so that an
expensive scope would be of benefit to me. Do you ?

I have a simmons. You are right it is a good scope,
it is as good as a bsa. I like them both, but you should try the center
point. It is inexpensive & very good. It has a green cross cross hairs Or
red cross hairs. This makes for a nice scope when shotting in low light and
it is 4-16x40mm. The price was $69.97 at
wall mart.
