Looking to start a clone smle sniper.

[CINDERS]

My friends 460 WM destroyed 2 1-4 x 24mm Leupolds he wont have another Luepie ever not good being a guide with a busted scope he did have iron sights to use, it now sports a March we were hitting a 6" gong at 214M with 2 shots each from a bench not the most pleasant experience but we had 100% hits using Woodleigh 500gn projie dawdling along at 2300fps.

I concure with BIO about the prices I was looking at the new S&B 5 - 45 x 56 PMII till I saw the expected retail here in Aus $6,390/AU now that is a good F class rifle just in the scope I priced out doing a Barnard with that scope and it would be @$11,000/AU+ all up my wife understandibly hit the roof when I told her of my intention so looks like my Savage is here to stay
