308 with a 124gr Hammer for dedicated thermal rifle

[std7mag]

Very Nice!! I have a Savage 110 with a Medium heavy barrel , also in 308. Bone stock. I needed a dedicated rifle for SCORE shooting" at the Bench Rest Matches. This rifle came with the Mc Millian stock, and has to remain Bone stock in order for me to shoot the match with it Its some tactical model from Savage. Shoots 115 Grn Berger Flat Base Target bullets very well. For now it has a 36X Sightron sitting on it. Here is a three-shot group then adjust to right and into the moth ball. Also another three shot group. Thats how I practice. ( Also the ridiculous 20 MOA rail was completely not needed as 300 yards is Max a my range.) You may want to try a box. Have fun with yours!!!

Dude, if you like the 36X Sightron, you'd love the SIII 10-50X60!!

With the mirage we get in central PA, I haven't had much opportunity to go above 32X for a match.
But to be able to use the rifle scope as a spotter is priceless!

I didn't catch what you would mostly be hunting for.

Which thermal are you installing on this unit

Coyotes and pigs mostly. I have an agm rattler 640 on my SBR 223 AR and an Iray Rico GH50R on my 22 creed. I use the ar for pigs 90% of the time just for the ammo capacity and fast follow ups on big groups of pigs. The bolt gun gets taken for pigs when we have lone boars or sows that won't go into the traps or have been educated by the road hunters in our area and you can't get to close in a vehicle without them busting off I.e. longer shots.
