Nononsense...
I just read your remarks regarding the Vortex Scopes. I have never seen one of these scopes. How would you rate their products (something like the Viper PST) next to a Leupold VX-III...or even a Mark 4???
If you were buying a scope, would you take the Vortex over a Vari-X III??? Inquiring minds want to know... [:)][8D]

Is it possible to rework a Remington 700 trigger? I have a Sendero in 25-06 and the trigger pull is over 10.5 lbs. I'd love to drop a Jewel in it, but I was wondering if a competent gunsmith could reduce the trigger pull to down around <1 lb...preferably about 8 oz.?.?
I had a Weatherby SVM trigger reworked once and it was just as nice as my Jewel trigger. Is it possible to do this with a 700 trigger?
I'm also curious to know whether it's worth it to swap out the J Lock bolt shroud on this rifle? Thanks! [8D]0 -
AAAC,
I don't want to offend any of the Leupold supporters on the forums but I would take a Vortex Viper PST over any Leupold product for the pricing and quality alone. Leupold, like our representatives, has lost contact with it's customers and has remained entrenched in it's past glory days. They have become passe and significantly overpriced in their upper end offerings including but not limited to the highly vaunted Mark 4.
I suggest taking some time to look through the Vortex Viper scopes and then compare prices with any others in that category. I happen to like their reticles as well. But I also understand that everyone's eyes see things differently and scopes are obviously in that arena. What works for me may not be suitable for others. That's why I try to suggest getting to a store that has several variations of scopes physically on hand to compare while looking through them.

Best.
Thanks for the feedback. I like to compare them side by side. I just got one of those new Weaver high end scopes in for a customer and I set it up next to a Vari-X III and it didn't even come close to the Leupold in clarity. I had them both set on the same power and I was looking at a steeple on a school building 310 yards away. I could literally see the paint flaking off with the Leupold, but the Weaver didn't show that kind of detail. I've heard folks tout that particular Weaver as being as good as a Mark 4...when in reality, it doesn't even come close to the VX-III's.
I really want to check out the Vortex now...I like the features they incorporate into the design. I'm not a fan of illuminated reticles, but that really doesn't matter too much...0 -
NN - thank you for the clear concise feedback regarding scopes, appreciated. [^] 0 -
I ditched My Vari-X III's for Burris Signatures a while back and could not be happier. the MK IV's were swapped out for NXS's. As Nononsense has stated, many of us have noticed their quality not being on par with their pricing for a decade or more, and Leupold has suffered for it. 0
