What kind of scope should I put on my Remington 700 .30-06 for deer?

[Alex Wheeler]

I have been noticing lately the forum getting away from the accuracy discussion. There are plenty of gun forums out there. This one is "ACCURATE Shooter". It also seems like it is hard for a thread to go more than a page before the name calling and arrogant posts start. Can we get back to the old "accurate shooter"?

A 3X9 has worked for many years. I like Leupold myself. I don't recommend below the VX-3 grade

+1
also the 2.5-8x is a very nice choice along with the ziess 3-9x40

 

[Alex Wheeler]

Gee thanks, but those seem kinda pricey. Will the Tasco they have at Walmart be just as good?

 

[Dans40X]

The Leupold 2.5-8X or 3-9X cost a few bucks more but are guaranteed for life.
If cost is the issue install one of the VX I variants !

 

[Alex Wheeler]

I can't tell if you guys are being sarcastic or you just don't read? ;D

LOL! Good thread title to get attention for your real message

I agree. It is starting to become mundane and often times Annoying. Not that I'm not partially guilty... But my wishes are the same as zfastmalibu.

There are piles of "Joe Blow" gun forums out there. I enjoy this site when I am able to gain knowledge about the more advanced reloading and shooting techniques to further my knowledge and ability.

At least it's in General Discussion, and not the reloading thread

 

[OB]

I agree 100 percent Zfast.

i guess we need to know more. what is the 30'06 for one.
what distance and what conditions will you be hunting in ??

as always need more info for reasonable replies....
was that accurate enough for the question asked...
and for the other, i do not disagree........

some people just cannot take being told some does something different, and that it works.

 

[Taildrag15X]

Maybe someone might give you one of those things they take off their savage package deal?

Ask Erik he must have a pile of 'em!

 

[Erik Cortina]

Zfast, you are correct. Some of the newbies mistake this forum for some of the others with low quality content, and in the process they lower the content of this forum.

It also annoys me when we have a new guy that will ask a question, and for the next month will ask follow up questions (each on its own thread) to the original question. This is not a chat room!!! Please use the search function, these topics have been covered over, and over, and over!!!

I think I sent one to you because you wanted to upgrade your equipment to what you believe to be top notch.

Where's "Iron Eyes" Cody when you really really need him?

[MrMajestic]

Check out NC Star! You can get them with a illuminated MilDot reticle. Looks like, and just as good as, an ACOG but for way less money! All the cool guys at Paintball use them! ;D

: Just don't follow thier posts, they will go away!

3x9 Bushnell there bright compared to nikons

It is unfortunate this forum is headed that direction. I find myself looking at this forum less and less as a result. It is also unfortunate that some of the most knowledgeable members are some of the worst at dishing out insults and babble. There are times where I only read posts from members like Boyd Allen and a handful of others.

 

[stool]

well there is an answer...
ignore the posts....to not add to the babble..

ask a mod to lock the post with directions to use the search engine.....

but then....how much did you know when you started.......

was there a qualifier at signup..that said experienced shooters only....??

 

[Shynloco]

I can't tell if you guys are being sarcastic or you just don't read? ;D

OP wants to discuss accuracy, then suggests Tasco after someone suggests Leupold; and then OP posts the above????? Makes you wonder.

 

[Dgd6mm]

I think op is using irony to discuss trends in content. This site is a valuable resource for shooters of all levels. I find the discussions helpful. There are going to be people who jab at posters on any site. As reloading moves from hobby to obsession it is nice to have company.

That last sentence is almost priceless. If this forum is getting too off topic for you at times, you can always go to Benchrest Central for accuracy. By the way, I put a smiley face on my N.F.
