Walnut and blue steel are my passion, but so are accurate rifles. Now that peripheral neuropathy is ruining my ability to climb our high and rough mountains I have given in and got a Weatherby Vanguard in 6.5-300 Wby off an internet site at a great price. Its 26" barrel slings out 129gr SSTs at 3,500 FPS, and the KUIU Vias camo blends in well with my terrain.

I will always believe in getting close, or you're not a hunter, but I need a little edge now. Sighted in at 300 yards gives me a hold on a deer's heart/lung area out to 400 yards. A modestly priced Burris FFII 4.5-14 is all the scope I need for the ranges I'll be shooting.

I have several FFII scopes, two 3-9 and another 4.5-14 that's on my 25-06, and I have nothing bad to say about any of them. A good friend and American gun writer told me to keep using the Philippine made scopes. He tests scopes and reports on them for several publications.









Mate, is that one better than a Creedmoor at LR shooting? Can't be.
