Great looking rifle Chickenman! The wood gives it a nice refined look. FWIW, I have a 6-24 scope on a 22lr. Not a long range cartridge but I plan to shoot tiny targets with it. To each his own...

I’m not wrong though. He’s using too much scope. His build is terrible. He has a stupid high power scope on a shorter barreled rifle, chambered in a mediocre range cartridge. Some people have no business assembling rifles. Some people have no business meddling in other peoples business. You've proved that many times over.

Some people have no business assembling rifles. You ARE wrong. It's not too much scope. His build works for him so how does that affect you? Perhaps you are cheap and aren't putting enough scope on your rifles. Maybe you would be a better shooter with "mediocre range cartridges" if you had more zoom on your scope.
It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

Some people have no business assembling rifles. That's your opinion which I personally believe you are wrong. On what page in the gun assembling manual that you wrote does it list proper magnification for the 6.8??? If their are no FACTS supporting your claim then it's your opinion. You've gave your opinion now move on and make sure to post some of your awesome rifles that you've assembled.

I own a 6.8. It’s not a long range rifle. https://www.buckmasters.com/Magazines/GunHunter/Articles/ID/196/Are-You-Using-Too-Much-ScopeAs for my rifles: This is just one of 8 I’ve built. .223 currently shooting 5 shot .2 moa groups thanks to a LaRue barrel and good technique. Scope? 2.5x8. I know what I’m doing. Trust me, I know if it was anyone else it’d be “nice rifle”. That’s not even my most accurate one. All my rifles, save for one 3x9, use the same scope.

Let’s just say I’ve hunted the ultimate quarry in some hot and sandy places with a crew at least as motley as firemen. In case you are too dense to notice; there’s a compliment in there.

That's the great thing about being a Texan, Freedom. OP never said it was a long range rifle, he can do whatever he wants with his gun.

Let’s just say I’ve hunted the ultimate quarry in some hot and sandy places with a crew at least as motley as firemen. In case you are too dense to notice; there’s a compliment in there. The point was, when a guy is wrong around our camp, the best thing he can do is own that he is wrong, and there won't be any problems. When he doesn't own that he is wrong, and digs in his heels, things can become quite miserable. I am not dense at all. Soldiers, Marines, SWAT, FD, all men working tightly together in some less than comfortable situations, looking out for each other. And when one steps out of line the pile can ensue. You must have been sqadded with some very patient, nice men.

JG,
I’m not wrong though. He doesn’t need such a high power scope unless he’s using something crazy like a 50 or 338 Lapua. He’s hurting his shooting and making his rifle unnecessarily cumbersome if he doesn’t ever zoom in. USMC snipers use a fixed 10x. You don’t see them having problems. Carlos Hathcock used what, a 3x9? Buying a Hubble telescope doesn’t account for good training. On a side note (I know it’s a shocker); I need to refresh my lacking long range skills. See, I’m not a pompous know it all.

My new 10/22 build will have a 4-12x40 on it. It’s way more scope than most people use on a 22. I intend for this rifle to shoot tiny little groups at 75-100 yards. I want the magnification so I can see the dime sized dots I want to shoot at.

That I got a good price? It doesn’t hurt my shooting. I’m not sure how I feel about the rails. I guess they’re already there if I want a tiny reflex. Also, ever think it goes on other calibers? Good thing I never said I was an expert in every single thing......

You realize he may never zoom in past 10 on a 4-16 right? But it’s good to know if he feels the need to he can go to 16. It’s no different than having a 2.5-10 and keeping it on 10 for most shots lol. That scope wouldn’t be my choice either for that rifle but that’s nice t my rifle so it doesn’t matter as long as he is happy. I’ve ised red dots, 1-4, 1-6, 1-8, 3x9, and 2.5-10 on my 16 inch 6.8 and I was able to hit 12 inch metal plate out to 500 with all of them. 1-4 wasn’t ideal but wasn’t all that tough either. Guns and scopes are tools and everyone prefers different tools for different reasons like eye sight. So as many have said he isn’t over scopes bc it’s built for his needs.
