Ok folks, last season went well, took a mid-weight spike for deer season with my older Remington 700 in .30-06 with a standard 3-9x40 generic scope (65yd shot on 4 power). I just recently bought an older Tasco (made in Japan) 2.5-10x44 scope and I was debating on mounting this new scope on my rifle. The mounts are a pair of Kwik-Site see through mounts which allow me to still have the irons lined up and they are dialed in right along with the current scope.
This is standard NE hunting, no shots beyond 100-150yds in the woods I frequent. I was using 180g soft point round nose bullets, and I most likely will use the same ones, but I need to hit the store to stock up a bit.
So what do y'all think? Leave the other scope on? Swap it out for the new one? It would give me a reason to go to the range and spend a bit more time making sure the rifle is dialed in for this year.
