| So I bit the bullet and bought my first Colt accurized rifle in 223 cal. I know this has been asked a lot but I need a refresh on best scope and trigger for 400 yd work on varmint and target. I was thinking Leupold VXIII in 4.5-14 and wondered if the tactical premium of 200$ is worth it. On the trigger is the Jewell ok or should I go to MK or JP? No flames for asking stale questions ok...it a big investment! |

Welcoma aboard. I have the VXIII in 3.5x10 and it is great. For most scope purchases, the extra money is worth it. That Loopy is the only high dollar scope I have and it is definitely worth it, but I don't have other good scopes to campare to. I've heard great things about the Jewell trigger so you should do good with that. I play with my own trigger work though so I have never bought one. |

I really like my stock trigger, but I did add the following: [img]http://www.brownells.com/images/products/416005001.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.brownells.com/images/products/730115100.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.brownells.com/images/products/093249020.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.brownells.com/images/products/093306080.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.swfa.com/riflescopes/tasco/tascossm.gif[/img] [img]http://www.bushmaster.com/shopping/magazines/Images/16-01-02.gif[/img] [img]http://www.bushmaster.com/shopping/buttstocks/Images/arg01.jpg[/img] |

I have a Jewell on my Les Baer and a RRA trigger on my Bushmaster. I like the Jewell a little better, but not a double the price. I have no experience with the JP or MK, but I am sure that some other people do. I also have one Colt lower set up with a WTS set trigger, it is o.k., but when set it is only one pound-a little light for my taste. I have learned to like the two stage on the AR's. |

Quoted: Very nice! Do you have a complete pic? Which scope is it, looks great. I have the Harris bipod and the telescoping stock. I do not have a complete picture. The Scope is a side focus Tasco Super Sniper from SWFA. I had a Leupold VXIII Mildot on it, but I put that on my AR-10T |
