Default RE: lookin for that new gun

Thanks for all the info. I talked to a couple of friends and heard a lot of good about the browning a-bolt. Curiously, i did a bit of local research and found out that my boss has browning a-bolt in .270. he offered to let me shoot it. I bought a box of remington 130 soft points (which is what he shoots through it) and went to town. After shooting about half the box, i think i am sold. I shot two five shot groups and both were well under an inch. Something that i really liked about it is that it had a small amount of felt recoil, even though i thought the rifle was a little on the light side. Now that i have decided the rifle to go with, i have to consider the scope. I am strongly considering a leupold VXIII in 3.5-10x50 or 3.5-10x40. If any one has comment about the scopes, i am pretty open to any ideas. Thanks in advance.
