I made some changes today three of my rifles. I took off a 3-9 X 40 Burris off the Ruger .223 and replaced it with a Vortex 4-16 X42. I want to start shooting it at 200 yards. I also took off the buckhorn sight on the Remington 141 and replaced it with a Skinner barrel peep. I can already tell without shooting it that it is a great improvement. Finally, I took the Leupold 3-9 VarXII off the Remington 700 .270 and replaced it with a Vortex 6-24 X 50. I plan on shooting the .223and 141 tomorrow. I'll go out another day with the Remington. I'll report on the progress in a range report later tomorrow or Saturday. I'm going to try to get the .270 sighted in a later date at 100 and then 200.

I think the known issues are taken care of. If you have any issues or know of another member who is having issues, PM daytime dave. As we head towards the holidays, hunt with your Henry.

Re: New Scopes/Peep
Any updates? Did you change to Vortex for any particular reason? They’ve never gotten too excited, but I know lots of people love them. I just mounted a Sig 2-7x on my 336 BL. Got to go sight it in soon.

Re: New Scopes/Peep
Yes. I shot very well with both changes. I didn't post the pictures here though. I guess I should have. I'll see if I can find them on my facebook page and copy them over. I'm just shooting at longer ranges and need all the help I can get with my tired eyes.
