RE: Scope for Remington Model 7
I never had any trouble with my model seven (6mm) accomodating a standard sized scope. I've had it fo 22 years with a leupy 3-9.
If I had $100.00 to spend on a scope (as was the case a couple on months ago), I'd buy the nikon prostaff. If you look around in cabelas bargain basement you can pick one up for around $108.00 (that's the price I paid in May). It was marked at $130.00 but I just asked the clerk if they could do any better and he did (standard practice in the bargain basement). Great glass for the money
