New Bolt Action

[Hvymax]

I love Rugers, I love the .243. But I do not like a lever action hunting rifle with a conventional stock that has magazine hanging below the stock. Ruger still makes them that way.

I suppose all of your pistols are Vaqueros

The OPs rifle is a bolt action with detachable magazine....

Sorry, I meant bolt action....

Went to the range with the Ruger and the first two shots were about 18 inches high at 50 yards. After about six clicks the Burris elevation knob locked and wouldn't move. I think it was some kind of locking turret system or something and I didn't have the manual with me. I'm quite certain it was operator error. Regardless I sent it back and replaced it with a Steiner t6xi 3-18x56. I'll get back out there tomorrow and get it zeroed properly. (I actually read the manual this time.) I did get the Timney trigger installed and set at just under 2.5 lbs. Breaks clean.
The trip wasn't a total wash though, I also took my Remington 700 Long Range, .300 Win Mag out and got it zeroed. Now that's a great shooter.

That Burris had Locking turrets (pull up to turn) and zero click stop so you can return to a preset zero. You still ended up with a nice piece of glass. I love a 56 bell as night predator hunting with scan lights and scope mounted kill light was my thing.

Nice looking rig.
