    Figured there's an AR show and tell, why not a bolt gun show and tell? Just didn't seem fair... :D

    Newly acquired Remington 700 in .308. Not sure the series, but it looks like a Custom VS SF™ II because it has a ported barrel... :dunno: Still looking for a Super Sniper scope that I keep hearing about but the Barska scopes' reviews look to be pretty good too. I can't wait to get it scoped and to the range. Also can't wait to find what ammo she likes best! :D

    Painted both of these in the past couple of weeks. The one in front is mine, the one to the rear is my shooting partner's.

    This the only bolt gun I own now other than a bolt action slug gun.
    love the gun hate the scope and ring..the scope is a POS barska and the rings are the only rings I could find to raise the scope up enough to clear the bbl...shoots good so I guess I cant complain to much. Savage 93R17 17hmr

    What don't you like about the Barska and what power?

    its a 6-24x50 varmint scope..its not very clear at all and the reticles are so thin they fade in and out of focus for me. but I didnt expect the scope to be much as it IS barska...the only barska scope I care for are the SWAT models...but for the price of one of those you can get something like a Nikon pro staff or $100 more get a Burris fullfield. I plan on replacing my barska with a Nikon..probably just a 3-9x40 as Im only shooting 100-150yrds max.
