Springfield Armory rifle scope for .308?
951645
Bound's hubby here: \n\nWhen I purchased my M1A, I also purchased the SA 6x40 Government Model scope. I like the rangefinding / distance compensating recticle. I generally use my M1A in competition, using iron sights only, so I have not shot this scope much. \n\nI find it is a quality scope. The one draw back, is that the range compensating recticle is calibrated using 168 grain Match loads (equivalent to Military Match M852). I prefer the heavier 173/175 grain Match loads (M118/M118LR) ... but for government work, the scope will put these rounds close enough to where I need to place them. \n\nI would not rely on the range compesating recticle for long range precision though. That recticle will place the bullet on target, but not with pin-point precision! It is better to have a target quality scope and shoot it to establish zeroes at the distances you plan to shoot. \n\nGood luck!

My preferance between the two would be the .308.  There's a great deal of ammunition for this caliber in a wide range of bullet types and weights to suit any need you might ever have.  Since it is a standard NATO chambering (7.62mm), there is a great deal of cheap, high quality ammunition to practice with avalible. It is a very accurate cartridge and is capable of taking almost any large game in North America.  You can even hunt smaller game if you like by selecting a lower bullet weight loading. You can't go wrong with a .308 anyway you look at it!

It doesnt sound like a rifle scope. Based on your description the only adjustment would be the back ring which wouldnt allow windage AND elevation adjustments.\n\nIt may however be a sighting device for any number of military items, i.e. tracking equipt, aircraft instrument or even radio antennas (SCR usually denotes "Signal Corps Radio")

I go with a bolt action; Remington 700, Savage's model 16, or the model 10/110 also from Savage.  All rifles from Savage come from the factory ready for optic sights(scopes) and have the bbl floated(from the factory.  Floated bbl's are more acurate.  Don't look at price when looking for ammo.  You get what you pay for.  Premium ammo costs more but it shoots and performs better.  Save the cheap stuff for practice.  When it comes to caliber, here are my picks: .270 Winchester Short Magnum(my round of choice that I have killed 2 Caribou and a Dall Sheep in Alaska with; very fast, very accurate to well over 500 meters{I've done 1MOA goups at 800m durring practice a couple of times, it's hard to find a civillian range that has the ability and space to let you shoot past 200m.... big brother and I just went out into the AZ desert somewhere and shot}, enough ass to kill all game but Kodiak bear and probibly moose), .30-06 Springfield(old but old for a reason... IT WORKS!), .308 Winchester(7.62x51, the round of choice for precision Haji hunting and US med. machine guns), .300 Winchester Magnum(hits hard, shoots straight, requires getting used to the recoil, will kill anything, excellent round overall), .270 Winchester(another good all around cartiridge, it's kinda a small .30-06, been around for a while and that means ammo is readily available), and any variant of 7mm(accurate and powerful, but I don't have much experience with it.  I just know some guys that love it).  Don't go for any 7.62x39.  That round loses alot of ass/accuracy after 300 meters.  Train yourself to be surgical at 500 and you will be golden come hunting season.  It's the Indian not the arrow my friend.

Bound's Hubby here:\n\n"Boker" is absolutely correct!\n\nAs an important aside, do not think that the scope is going to vastly improve the accuracy of your SKS! The SKS is an inherently inaccurate rifle. I was firing a match a couple years back, and the match director allowed a competitor fire his SKS, until he was "removed" from the match when his rifle was unable to stay on a 6' by 6' target at 300 yards!\n\nI believe that of the two alternate scope mounts "Boker" told you about, the mount that replaces the rear sight would be the best. In order to use this scope mount successfully, you will also need a "Long Eye Relief" scope. \n\nGood luck!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nSounds like you have one of Roy's fine rifles. I would suggest you make the following changes to your sighting equipment. First, toss the Simmons scope. Second, replace the Weaver bases and rings with a set of either Leupold or Redfield two piece scope bases with rings. I would replace your Simmons scope with a good QUALITY scope such as a Leupold, Redfield (if you can find one), Zeiss, or perhaps Nikkon scope. Personally, I prefer fixed power scopes of 6-10 power, but your shooting use will dictate your scope need.\n\nYou have a fine rifle. Do not limit it's capabilities by selecting an inferior scope. \n\nGood luck.

I think the Ruger 10/22 rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation.If you don't know where it is, consult a gunsmith, or someone who knows how to do it, before you damage the front sight.

most of the answers you have been given are correct. i worked in a very high volume gun shop for years and have personally owned well over a hundred firearms. most of the rifles being in the 30 caliber class. you just said deer hunting, if that is the largest game you will be hunting a 308 is plenty. and as far as the people saying the 308 is flatter shooting. that is also very true. and commercially available loads are readily available for the 308 just for extreme accuracy. if you go with a 308 try factory remingtons loaded with a 168 grain hollow point boat tail. 168HPBT is how it will be described. if you load youre own you can get just as much accuracy from the 30-06. i shot many over the years and it also has advantages. the long range competions at military ranges have relied on experienced shooters able to handle the recoil of a 30-06. but if you are never shooting more than 150 yards and deer will be the largest game you intend to hunt a 308 is plenty. i got hooked on 30-06 from the older military guys. i have to admit that a garand is a very pleasant rifle to fire. both cartridges are great. when i shot 30-06 i always reloaded and there are so many options it is mind boggling. i loaded everything from 95 grain plinker loads using bullseye pistol powder to 230 grain full house loads that would just about dislodge my shoulder. to get back to youre question again, you mostly say target shooting and amature competition. then a heavy barrel is the best choice. and i dont know if you have youre mind set on remington for a certain reason but money wise there are better choices for accuracy versus money. and im not just blowing smoke out of my butt. i have owned well over a hundred firearms and have fired atleast a thousand different configurations. so i am slightly biased from my own experiences. remington manufactures great arms but for very accurate target shooting and competition you will notice that a bolt action rifle is usually used. and i have to say that savage arms is the best for the money. i have owned browning and ruger and remington bolt action heavy barrels. but the savage rifles have always been more accurate. i have a savage model 110 fp in 308 that i can pick off crows at 200 yards easy. i believe the new version is called a model 10, they shortened the action. and my savage 112 bvss in 30-06 is a rifle i could never part with. shooting hand loads with 168 grain sierra hpbt and pre fired remington brass. i have had many times groups well under .500. my most accurate load is pre fired remington brass neck sized with a cci # 200 primer and a charge of49.3 grains of IMR 4064 powder followed by a sierra 168 grain hpbt set at an oal of 3.292. but every rifle is different but that works perfect for me. if youre just going deer hunting get a basic plain jane rifle. even an inch of target isnt a big deal in that situation. but if you really want accuracy i have already gave you my opinion. i think the 308 or 30-06 are both great choices. and the ammo is readily available for both given they are military cartridges, surplus ammo just for plinking and having fun is available cheap. and on the fun side is really neat to buy surplus military ss-209 , 223 rounds and pull the bullets and load them in sabots which i believe are still available.if not i have gobs of them i bought years ago and would be willing to sell some.  a 223 with a steel penetrator in a sabot comes out of a 30 caliber about 3700 fps. it will go right through an inch of solid steel. i hope i was of some help.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nIt would really depend on two factors ... the 12 year old's size and the type of area where he/she would be hunting. Not knowing either, I would suggest either a Winchester 94 in .30-30 or a Remington Model 7 in 243 Winchester.

get an airgun scope by Daisy from walmart.  they're less than $20.  don't use a conventional rifle scope.  happy hunting.

This link will take you to the Thompson Contender barrel with mounted scope. Of course, you remember that the T/C uses one frame and changes just the barrel. Consequently all T/C barrels will look about the same. \n\nhttp://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=45897413\n\nAlso try this link.\nhttp://nas3.atlanta.gbhinc.com/GB/045897000/45897413/pix1988824422.jpg\n\nTo view closed listings on http://www.gunbroker.com  you may have to register. \n\nKeep your muzzle in a safe direction! \nLeigh M\nPortland\nhttp://www.NWSafe.org

The .270 Winchester is a stellar deer gun.  It will work on hogs also.  Remember neck/head shot only for hogs in excess of 400 lbs. and use the 150 grain bullet if you are specifically hunting hog; the heavier bullet will give you a penetration advantage.  Either 130 or 150 will work well on deer.\n\nIf you wanted the .308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) or even the old .30-06 you wouldn't go wrong.  Since you asked specifically about the .270, then yes, it is a good choice.  I have one myself.\n\nH

I got my 30-06 brand new with a wood stock so I am sure they are out there. Check with a gunsmith shop or even at gunshows and you should be able to find them. Another place to look is ebay.com

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, be aware of the hunting laws where you plan to hunt. For example, Pennsylvania prohibits the use of semi-automatic rifles, hence the Garand would be useless. \n\nYou do not identify the conditions you will be hunting under. That will have a big bearing on your choice. Personally, I would recommend the .308 over the .30-06. In an average shooter's hands, both can be expected to drop game to 500 yards. Performance wise, they are near equals. \n\nWith respect to rifles, you get what you pay for. Of readily available bolt rifles, I would lean towards the Remington 700 line. Personally, I would suggest the 700 Varmint in .308, but for hunting alone a 700 BDL or a Model Seven in .308 would be quite sufficient. \n\nEDITED TO ADD:\n\nA point to consider ... Remington's 700 Varmint is the chasis for the U.S.M.C.'s M40 series sniper rifles. I built my 700 Varmint as a 1000 yard target rifle. I can place 20 shots at 1000 yards in under 14". With appropriate ammo, the round has sufficient terminal velocity to drop deer or similar sized game (Marine's have dropped untold number of men at this range). I know hunting deer at 1000 yards is irresponsible ... I just included this statement to show that it could be done! I do hunt with this rifle.\n\nAs an aside, if you are an American citizen, and meet the qualifications, you can purchase an M1 Garand from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (link below) starting at $300 and averaging $450, depending upon receiver manufacturer and grade!\n\nGood luck and good hunting.
