Thanks for that. I’ve got what sounds like the same Talleys that you have. 30 MM, medium height, one piece base and rings. I’ve not got the scope yet but will soon. I got the Talleys from Midway and may end up sending them back. Do you think a rail and rings would cause the same issue?
I don't know, my brain has gone numb trying to figure out the best option. There's nothing wrong with the gun that I know of, it's just the choice of scope, which I don't really want to change and I'm hesitant on going with high rings if that'll fit me let alone solve the issue. I think im going to try high rings and then possibly a rail of some sort if that don't work. Otherwise I guess I'll have to get a different scope. I did read where a guy said you can file a part of the extractor to launch the cases lower. I think that's last resort. Would really hate to get rid of the gun over this.
I know there are different schools of thought but overcleaning the barrel will reduce the life. Sure, wipe the exterior with oil but otherwise shoot until the groups open up unless you've been in bad weather and water down the barrel.
So you’re using the low one piece base/rings combo? No problem with clearing the 44mm objective?
I am fairly certain that I am using the low. My email shows that I bought and returned the mediums from Midway and then afterwards that I bought the lows from another seller. I looked for markings on the mounts and could not find any, but I did measure (pic attached).
Thanks! Yours looks exactly how I want mine to look. Ordered my scope today from schmalts. I’ll loosely mount it with my mediums and if they appear to be higher than yours, I’ll exchange for the low if it effect eye/scope alignment negatively. Thanks again. This helps.
My understanding is that Browning did some type of recall on rifles and shotguns with the Duratouch finish. The stocks were replaced for free and Browning severed ties with the Duratouch company. This was the result of litigation on behalf of those who were having issues with the Duratouch stocks. I think some Browning owners are not aware of this recall but Browning will correct the issue if contacted. The new Browning's don't have the Duratouch finish, not sure what year they switched.
Thanks for the tip on the x-bolt. I have a 6.5PRC, and am hoping it performs.
I think you’ll be pleased with the spring kit. Let us know how it works for you.
EKYHUNTER, surely will. Any other info would be incredibly helpful, and appreciated. I have heard mixed views on the x-bolt on here, and am curious why that is? I’ve never had a problem with any Browning gun, owning several . Thanks again for the tip.
Corrected many years ago. They quit using it.
Same for me. Never any issues.
Redman, I’m running the Hells Canyon Max Long Range McMillan 6.5PRC. If this gun doesn’t group, I will be PISSED! Now I need Big Fin to help me get some Noslers. Thanks again
I am a Nosler fan and wanted to go the non-lead route but had a hard time finding Etips availability and that was before all the shortages. I was able to find Barnes TTSX and that is now my go to bullet. 150gr is what I feed it and the performance has been tremendous. Shot a mule deer buck at 350+ yds front on and found the bullet under the skin of the rear quarter.
