Why am I not surprised????? - mine will be here Tuesday -Conversion kitWednesday - but I am not sure when the scope base are getting here and the snow is not melting fast enough not even close to being fast enough...

where did you buy the scope bases from and what are the parts numbers if you know... I am going to throw a Leupold on this one I think.

Dave,

Had somewhat a problem finding them because I think Warne has discontinued them....

I will probably order another Bushnell 3200 with a ballistic reticule - but can not afford it yet although I am looking at a Nikon Pro-Staff with BDC for $130 - but can not afford that right now either...

So for temporary I am putting Pentax GameSeeker witha ballistic reticuleon it.

Gees! I'm like a little kid waiting for that gun to arrive...

Dave you are incorrigible!!!

Congrats on the new baby!

Natchez has some "Browning/Bushnell 3200 elites" on special for $149.00 but I think it said they only had 3" eye relief. Does that sound right? They also had some Browning 2-7x32mm built on Elite standards for $119.00 I think it was.

I was thinking of silver bases, silver Warne QD rings, and a silver Leupold 2-7x33mm for this one. Never done that with a rifle before. I wonder what it looks like on a stainless barrel. I found that site before I read your post sabotloader. You were right, they were hard to locate. Their prices are not too bad. I used to have a different site where I bought all my bases and rings, but my when my computer crashed I lost all those links. I still have two sets of Warne QD rings around here in black though, so I might just go that way. They look nice too...

I saw that also but as I understand it the Browning's do not have the "Rain Guard" Lenses... Eye relief should be 3.3 @ 9 power

I did go with the matte black ones - because I have matte rings and more than likely the scope will be matte.

Well our local Wal Mart has a Leupold on sale that I really like. I want to see if my buddy that owns the gunshop will match their price. If he does, I will buy from him. Then I get free mounting of the scope and bore sighting and a trip to his range....

That eye releif I am almost sure said three inches, and I could just picture that thing coming back and getting me... I like a lot of eye relief because in all honesty, I get lazy on the range and forget sometimes about proper hold. The rifle of course soon reminds me, but still no one likes a poke in the eye. The Nikon Pro Staff is a good scope. I really like it. And the 2-7x32mm has excellent eye relief.

Dave,

Have you ever looked at Scopes N More - they are down the state a bit in Nampa but really have decent scope prices...
