Cheap new additions to my LR308.

OK so it's not some 1000 dollar ACOG, but it will serve the purpose well. The reviews on it were real good and I couldn't beat the dang price.  Bushnell 1.5-4.5 X 32 Dawn to Dusk. Darn clear glass for the money. And only 10.5 ounces to boot. I also picked up a Magpul Gen 3 20 round magazine. I swear it's half the weight of the stock magazine. The Magpul key mod Bi-pod post fits the stock Glacier guard perfect. And just a cheap sling until I purchase a Beachin sling. Next on my list is the trigger.

I'm really liking the way it looks. :biggrin

Thanks unforgiven. I had my heart set on a Nikon scope. Then I bumped across the Bushnell and they sold me the display model. I couldn't say no to the price I got it for. I still have less than 8 Benjamin Franklin’s into the whole setup. :)

Looks like my Oracle.  I used a Bushnell 1.5 X 4.5 scope (different reticle)  wiith a Burris high mount, same sling swivel 2stage trigger rubber butt pad and 2magpul mags,1 20 rd. and 1 10 rd. I'm going to also zero my Weaver 1.5X scope I used on my old Springfiield 03 sporterized 3006 coyote gun I used in 1959 between college and the Marines.I will mount the Weaver directly on the top rail. The Weaver has a really long eye relief and has a post and single cross hair reticle. It is one tough old scope.  All my shooting buddies said "That damn 3006 is over kill for bobcats and coyotes." , I used 110 grain hand loads  at 2100 fps. It was very lethal on coyotes and the small white tails in North Central Texas back in the day.
