ended up yanking the SWFA off the HMR as i bought a Diamonback Tactical 6-24X50.. tad of a fiasco, first one was broken, parallax was worthless, and wouldnt hold a zero, so i took it back and they gave me another one... almost bought a Strike Eagle but it was a 34 MM tube and i didnt feel like spending 150 bucks on rings for it...

anyways, that left me with the SWFA 16X sitting in a box, so i bought a EGW 20 MOA rail, and some SWFA SS-Tac rings like i have on the Bergara (love those rings), and slapped it on there... i have enough clearance to clear a 56 MM bell with the medium rings if i choose, but i think this will be just fine.. atleast there is hash marks now and not just a fine wire...




still need to get a scope for the 700 .300 Mag, but with the ammo shortage, not really in a hurry, i only have like 50 rounds for it anyways...

might put a SE 5-25X56 on it, there is also a Crimson Trace 5-25X56 on sale at both Bass Pro, and Midway, except Midway is 499 and BP is 699... like i said, not in a rush, ammo shortage...
