Will be picking up my TAC A1 on monday and putting a Delta 4-24 x 50 on it.

Def a jack of all trades but sounds like thats what cj0819 is after, something getting out to 400 but also suitable for bush. I’d say he’ll get sick of carrying a 12lb rifle for bush stalks and get a 308 or magnum which the 3-15 is well suited for, or will want a long range rifle and the 3-15 will also do okay at. I would rec the delta 4-24 but for me 3 is the highest minimum mag. id go for in the bush.
