Here's the plans. First I need a set of rings. (Two actually cause I don't like the set on the Savage 25.) Under the tree is a Bushnell Legend 5-15x. So Thursday afternoon, that goes on the Savage as the permanent scope and the Simmons Pro-Air 4-12x will go on the AR temporarily! Then maybe Friday or Saturday to the range. (Long term the Simmons Pro-Air goes back on the Beeman R-7 where it belongs.)
So, besides the $11k Elcan, I'm not sure what to put on this. I was thinking something in the 4-12x range to take advantage of long ranges. But 3-9x would work. This isn't a close in tactical configuration. I was disappointed in my Leupold VX-I. I can't seem to get it to focus for me. I'm thinking smallish (under 40mm), black and evil looking. Also, to make things more difficult, I prefer a scope not made China. (I don't hate the Chinese, just don't want to reward them with this next purchase.)
