I pestered the hell outta this Forum for advice on the 700PSS.
Got great advice and did a bunch of hand wringing and gnashing of teeth trying to decide what to do...
I put on my Leupold Tactical scope (it's ONLY the 1" tube variety with Mil-Dot reticle) in
Redfield 2-pc. base and low rings!!! (too low, really, but it worked until I used a set of high rings from another rifle).
The point is that I was told to get about $300 worth of BASE & RINGS and $1500 worth of scope for my $700 rifle...!!!
I USED MY HEAD 1st and put on what I had around the house, you know? So, I got to shoot the gun instead of dying before I could afford OPTICS!
Every one of the guys that helped me gave great advice. They were right about the best equipment. It's great to have. But, damn.
I'm shooting it and it's accurate.
Go get a doggone TASCO and some kind of base/ring setup and get to shooting it first.
It'll give you incentive to study which parts you want to put on later.
Good luck.
I'm gonna go stroke "SUZY"...
(try some Federal Gold Medal Match 168-gr. ammo in that baby and see what happens...with mine, it's like the rifle and ammo were made for each other)
