    Well shit... wings are out.. Looks like we're having pas-ghetti instead. I'll make up for it with a half stick of butter on my garlic bread.

    I DO think that I've reached the edge of the big returns on investment, so now it'll be a game of inches, not yards.... Or more specifically, a game of millimeters, not centimeters.
    I've never shot a 260 so I'm not sure what to compare recoil with. I'm thinking recoil is something like a 308 reduced recoil load??

    I used/borrowed a Steiner 4-16x50 during a course in September. It was pretty nice....

    Yeah, it's fairly mild. Even less when the gun weighs 15pounds+.

    The neat part is that it has the flight characteristics of 300WM, just without the energy....

    I'm not looking forward to the butt scope program, getting old enough that I should be due though.
