    5-25x56 or 7-35x56 optic?

    Looking at purchasing a Leupold Mark IV this week. It's in-between getting the 5-25x56 or the 7-35x56. Application I would use it in is both hunting and competition. My personal opinion is the 7-35x56 is the no brainer for the advantages of the magnification and the small loss in field of view...

    Budget Bolt Action build

    My goal is to build a range/hunting rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor while staying just at or under $2,000. Through my research so far, I think I can get a better rifle by building one rather than buying a factory rifle, however, I'm pretty new to the precision rifle realm and haven't done this before...
