Hey Hey,

I am working on testing a new brand of scope. I have been watching Yukon for a couple of years seeing how they do with the intent of maybe testing one of their scopes out. They just released a new line this year so (SightMark) so I finally hopped on board with one of their products.

I am always looking for good optics that are priced reasonably or even under priced (Due to not having a big name yet). If this scope kicks some ass, I will be testing a few more models in this line. Might be a chance to get a steal on a good optic before it launches and grows a rep.

Here are some details:

Yukon Sightmark 4-16x44 Triple Duty Tactical Riflescope SM13017: $179.99

It's got a 4.72" - 3.5" Eye relief (which is freaking sweet). There isn't tons of info or reviews on this line yet, so I am just going to take a chance and see how it is. That seems to be how I find real nice optics for good prices.


I also scored some freaking sweet aas mounts for the 700. I wasn't about to swallow the $200 tag for the Nightforce 20 MOA 1 piece mounts just yet, so I decided to try out a Dednutz setup. I always got a kick out of the name and I liked some of the other stuff I got of theirs in the past. So basically I got the same thing as the NightForce but for $59.95. Now if they work as well as the NightForce setup I am in great shape. The only way to tell will be to test it out.


I also tuned the trigger for the 700, and its BAD ASS. I need a trigger pull scale to tell you what it is for sure, but its damn near perfect for me. It's only damn near because I gave it another 1/4 turn to be on the safe side. I am thinking when my gear comes in this week and I actually take the time to mount the scope the right way I'll take a range trip.

As far as reloading I got some rounds ready for testing and some are getting on the warm - hot side. I pretty much loaded 5 of each with .5 grain power increases in efforts to see what is holding the best. I am even thinking of adding a reloading section to this site and update it with my load data. I don't know, its just a thought at the moment.

Anyways, I am off to bed, catch you all lata

PS> The gun room got cleaned up a lot, but still needs some finishing touches before I snap some pics to post.
