Thanks, think I'm gonna go with the Daniel Defense quad rail for now, then sometime after that a bipod, hogue grip and of course a good scope. Been researching scopes. At first I was dead set on a Leupold, now scopes made by Nikon, Bushnell, Weaver, and Burris look attractive.

Been through the scope seen more than once :pinch: All make good scopes (some better than others) have a Leaupold on mine thought they also may make the Redfeild's that's on the .22-.250 boltgun Nikon's on the .22! take a look around the site and what fits your budget and shoothing preferances :dry: don't forget to take a look at the Nightfore and Zeiss brands :S everyone has their own opinion and favorite so, do the research and let us know what you chose ;) it's up to you, otherwise we'll need alot more info and $ :evil:

Thanks for the input. I definitely want a tactical scope. The Nightforce scopes are outside my price range, as are the Leica's and U.S. Optics. Zeiss does'nt seem to have a tactical scope. So far two scopes that seem to fit the best are the Leupold mark 4 LR/T(They have one less expensive model for around $700) and the Bushnell Elite Tactical. I'm going to focus on getting the other modifications done first, the scope will be the last thing.

I found that the bolt release on RRA was much handier than the traditional location. On the other hand, the mag release is very hard for me to operate. It's in the right location, but the internal design doesn't give you much of a mechanical advantage. I have to modify the entire way I'm holding the gun and push very hard on the mag release to actually drop the mag. I took it apart and polished surfaces and applied moly grease etc but nothing helped. Mine is an old Bushmaster BAR10, which is the early design of the RRA. Later guns may have improved this, haven't had my hands on one.

Check out the Vortex line of scopes, the Razorback HD in particular. Good scope, great price.

Thanks, I will do that. I have a Vortex spotting scope and so far it works pretty well.
