I always aim to mount the scope as low as humanely possible. Closer to the bore the better in my books. To each to their own. :drinks:


Yeah I have both TBH, I think it's just mainly what I will use it for, low light work and spotlight work, I'm sure it's half true and half placebo effect aswell of a bigger objective in lower light ha ha field of view is pretty good but on bigger lens compared to my 40mm scopes.

What do you estimate your m70 trigger weight to be BR?


Dunno to be honest, I adjust the pull weight to what feels right for me. You can get 70 triggers adjusted quite light . I’d say my pull weight is the lightest on my 222 to suit what I do , the 6.5 is a bit heavier as it’s a “walk about “ sporter. Amazing how much lighter a trigger feels when you’re adrenaline is up . ;) all our tastes in rifles are different, which makes things interesting. Otherwise we’d just be talking about how nicely our 223 Tikka t3’s shoot , and it would be a short conversation :D
