Look at Athlon scopes... really good bang for your buck. I have a Vortex $900 scope on the 308 and an Athlon $400 on the 6.5cm. Honestly, the Athlon out performs the Vortex in my opinion.

I agree. I would leave the stock as is.
I have a Timmney single stage trigger I installed it on my Remy 700. It’s set at about 3lbs. Love it.
I also lean towards Leupold, but that’s because all my training including sniper school was on a Leupold. There are good as or better out there. I’m just not experienced enough with them. So I go with what I’m comfortable.

Now, you blokes got me thinking about adding a 6.5 to my collection. Sigh! More money!

Meh, it’s just a 223 that can hit MOA (with the right equipment on and off the gun) at 1200yds. Who wants that in their arsenal?

Well, it’s either that or a .338 Lapua. Always liked that round. But the 6.5 would be cheaper.
