I so LOVE mine (same as yours). BUT my go-to 06 is an AI and I've had a Zeiss Conquest 2.5x10x44 on it. Ya, it's too big but I shoot a lot from the bench (over 1k rounds in 4 years). Just never got around to changing it. did great getting bounced around truck and ATV's on a NWT black bear hunt. I may never remove it!

BaxterBVXII 3x9. Used to have the FXII 4x but the 3 x 9 fits the rifle better in regards to the eye relief. The 4x will go on a 7x57 hopefully soon

jkingrphM4 (4x) Leupold on my 1963 Win 70 featherweight. Put the scope on it that June right after I got it.

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.

My 30-06 is a Winchester 1895 and has a reciever sight.
Does rather well.

Weaver KV with a power adjustment covered like the Horizontal and vertical adjustments.The power can be adjusted from 2 3/4 to 5. There are three screws behind the vertical adjustment that I'm leery to screw with ( play on words ).
This is mounted on a sporterized 1917 with the original barrel cut to 23 1/2" whose rifling is bright mirror finish. It wares an old Fajen stock that is being refinished and almost done.
I have no info on the scope but know the rifle was a closet queen for at least 50 years. Maybe one or more of you gunners could fill me in with history or such.

www.24hourcampfire.com/...php/...VINTAGE_WEAVER_SCOPE I have one of those too. Have had it at least 50 years, and used it on at least 10 different rifles. Still works fine. Mine is the early non-permacentered reticule design...

Which flavor of M70 and what is the adoption fee? I'm a bit of an M70 addict

DoublegunP64 M70 is set up with a Leupy 4x.
M700KS Mountain Rifle is set up with a Leupy 2x-8x. I am very comfortable shooting deer size game out to 300-yards with either gun.

MARK H. YOUNGI think I've always had an '06 of some type for about 40 years. I've topped these rifles with a number of different scopes but I'm very happen with the 1" Swarovski 3.5x10 that sits on my current '06. With modern factory loads, powders and bullets an '06 can easily reach out to 400 yards where the larger scope really shines.

surestrikeOne of them wears a Leupold Vari X III in a 2.5X8 with a B&C reticule which gives me honest no kidding hold over to 500 yards on paper. I've never killed anything with it past about 300 yards. My daughters .30-06 wears a Leupold Vari X III in a 1.75X6.

DomMain hunting rifle has a Swaro rail mounted 3-12x50 w/Ill Dot, good for nighttime hunting.
Others have been known to wear Dr Optic Red Dots at times and or Leupy 1.5-6x34, for drive hunts.
So kinda depends on the application one has in mind, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

richybI have had my best luck and yes mine were likely luck with a 60$ walmart bushnell with tv view. Then I missed and went to a red dot and that didnt bag me anymore running deer so I went back to a bushnell scope. 3-9 trophy, nothing fancy but atleast ill see the trees haha.....

CoyoteKiller82My savage 111 FCNS 30-06 wore a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44, both the barrel & the scope are safe queens until I get the inkling to reunite them for a bear hunt maybe?? in that case I'll prob mount my Nikon 3-9x40 though!!
23 February 2012, 08:06
VMSHiya,
My Browning Medallion southpaw is getting new glass on it. It will be wearing a Redfield Revolution 3 x 9 40mm here in the very near future. I have had a Bushnell Trophy 3 x 9 on it for many years as that scope was a gift from my father. But...I have noticed the glass is blurry (it's a 23 year old scope) as compared, so it was time to change it out.
