I've been selling and trading a few guns around over the last few months, but I've finally put together a pair that I can't put down. It's a shame you can only shoot one rifle at a time!
1982 M70 XTR Featherweight 7x57
Meopta MeoPro 3-9x40 w/ #4 in Talley LW mounts.
I've got a nice load with PPU brass and 140gr TTSXs over H4350. 3.104" OAL running 2785fps
2013 Hawkeye African 300wm
Meopta MeoPro 6x42 w/ #4 (I have some Alaska Arms QD rings in the mail)
PPU brass again with 180gr Sierra Pro Hunters over IMR4831 (load test ready to shoot)
I'm heavily considering putting another MeoPro 3-9x on the 300wm, and moving the 6x onto my 9.3x62. The 6x42 is a smidge brighter at dusk, but not enough for me to sacrifice the low-end magnification. My thinking with a 3-9x on the winmag is I should never have another reason to take it off.
I have a three day whitetail/hog trip coming up and I'm hoping to blood them both!
