For your hunting bolt actions, do you use the Butler Creek flip up scope caps? Are they worth having on your gun?

I just bought a Winchester 70 SS Extreme in 30-06. I liked the Remington 700 too. However, I liked the Winchester more. This gun will be a general purpose hunting rifle for coyote, hog, and deer. Someday, I plan to pick up a second rifle. Would it be a mistake to make the second rifle a...

I finally did it (thanks to THR). I purchased the Winchester Model 70 SS Extreme in 30-06. I already have a black matte VX3 3.5-10x40. I am going to order Leupold Dual Dovetail bases and low rings. What should they be - Stainless or Matte?

Does anyone have a picture of how a matte scope looks on a blued bolt gun. I already have a matte scope and wanted to see how it looks on a blue gun. Thanks.

Dumb question: If I was going to put a matte VX3 on a blued Winchester 70 Sporter, should I use blued rings?

On the Winchester 70 Sporter in 30-06, will the Leupold low rings work with the dual dovetail mounts? My scope will be a Leupold VXIII 3.5-10x40. I should get the "gloss" finish on the scope to match the Sporter finish, right? *I called my gunsmith and Winchester and got a "it will be...

For the Winchester Model 70 Sporter with a Leupold 3.5-10x40, will the low Leupold rings work with the Leupold dual dovetail mounts? I want to keep the scope as low as possible. Will there be any problems with this setup?

For a bolt action hunting gun, which do you like better? I know the advantages of stainless and synthetic stocked guns. Are there any advantages to a wood stocked blued steel gun?

I don't want to get into the politics of the Remington trigger debate. I just want to know how to reliably find out if my 2001 model 700 ADL has the problem that everyone is talking about. Can some one list the tests to try? P.S. So far, I have tried the following: with an empty gun...

I am looking at getting a Winchester 70 in 30-06. I like the Featherweight and SS Extreme models. I am torn between the two. If you own a SS Extreme - how do like it? Is it accurate? Any problems?

I am looking at a Winchester Featherweight Deluxe in 30-06. I already have a Leupold 3.5-10x40 VXIII scope. For general purpose hunting, do you think this scope will be too big for the gun? Is the size of the scope overkill?
