That's a Springfield Armory 4-14X56 Rangefinding model. They don't make them any more.
I did do some serious cosmetic work on the stock. I hand sanded the old milspec crap off of it and found really nice piece of Tiger Birch underneath. I hand rubbed 12 coats of tung oil into it and it sure came out pretty.
The fit is much tighter than it was in the original synthetic due to the bedding. The farthest I've really been able to work it out is at 600 yards. I could hit an 8 inch cast iron skillet every time. I'd love to see what it can do at 800, which is the limit on the scope.
Fulton Armory makes a really good modern mount, but they're darn pricey.
The nice thing about the mount system is that you can still use the iron sights without having to pull the scope off. If you really want to set that thing up to reach out and touch something, give it a try.
You understood the question. Thanks for the info.
Thing is that mount is $790 bucks!
Might just buy another rifle and looking through FA’s site, there are some interesting choices and I like their work on CMP’s.
I think what makes sense is to spend money on another rifle tricked out the way it should be and save time and money.
M25 WHITE FEATHER™ W/ M3A MCMILLAN STOCK,
KRIEGER BARREL, ADJ. TRIGGER
$5250. A little more than I intended but is has the Leupold Scope I currently use, on my Springfield 770, so I am familiar with it.
Has all the other goodies I want as well Adj. cheek and butt.
I won’t have to drill anything or play games with the bipod as it will come custom attached.
All in all I think that is the gun I want and I can reuse my current mags if need be.
1/2 MOA @ 100yrds? That’s great and I am sure I will love it.
