Iam very glad i asked the questions, i want to do the course before i start pissing money out the window. From what some are saying, the reloading dies i need are even different. Iam hearing the standard rcbs or redding ones are not the ticket for extreame accuracy.

General thoughts?

Thanks Bill

I rather enjoyed your response, i have a real love for leuplod scopes as well. All my hunting rifles wear them. I am glad eveyone is eager to help me out.
I cant lose sight that my rifle is a factory offering. I just cant run with the big dogs shooting march scopes on 6 BR rigs. To answer another gentlmans question, I have absolutly no prior experience! So i have no idea as to what matches i will be available to shoot in.
So what iam about to do is get a powerful variable scope, use it on the 222, and see howmuch fun I have. I can always move it to a custom 6br rig afterward if Iam enjoying my self. ( No Slippery Slope Yet) !!!!

Fantastic,

I am fond of leupold scopes, I own about 5 and only ever had to send one back for repair, and had it back on the rifle in under two weeks.
I have found a used varix III  6.5x20 for $700.00 you guys figure this adequate for a factory class rifle? Or should a guy be looking for more?
Reason I ask is,  the scope can be moved to a newly built 6BR should a guy go that route. I have never used scopes with as much magnification as these.
Thanks for all the great information in advance, some people look for validation on what their thoughts are. I on the other hand will make a decision based on what you gentlemen are saying.

I have recently moved in to Crooked Creek Alberta from Calgary. I belong to the Valleyview gun range.
