Even though its $1000, i would say its prolly the Benelli Vinci, i personally dont have the money for that type of gun so i use my Benelli Nova, when i bought the gun it was either between it or the Remington 870, I chose the nova mainly because it shoots 3 1/2 inch shells

has anyone ordered ammo from a catalog or online? if so, how does that work? do you have to have it shipped to an FFL holder, or does it come straight to your house? i think think it comes strait to your house, if you want cheap ammo id look on stortsmans guide for silver/gold/browm bear ammo, the only difference between the 3 is the casing... the are around 5-8 bucks for a box of 20, i dont know if they are worth a $hit but most of the reviews are good(oh..dont buy the ones with the red ring around the bullet)

I know how to do the adjusting and all that , i was just wondering if the scopes that have m.o.a. KNOBS that DONT have the SCOPE CAPS, if the knobs lock into place so it doesnt lose its sighting everytime you "bump" them without knowing it NOTICE: there are knobs instead of the regular scope caps sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=592036

alright thanks , what do you know about scopes with m.o.a. adjusting knobs instead of regular scope caps, i read that they can realy be helpful but i dont realy want to get one if the knobs dont lock into place this isnt exactly the one i might get, its just to give you a general idea sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=592040

Well, I really dont think you will be putting off 400 yard shots with a 243, just stick with the one youve got, you will be fine. I should be fine with a 243 as long as its sighted in and has a good scope, i would rather get a 770 in a .308 model but the one there is a .243, it might not even be there when i get the money( in that case i'll get the 308)

Frenchy, I would highly recommend that you do not get a NCstar scope. I bought one a year ago and it is the biggest piece of junk I have ever put on a rifle. Its durability was ok, but the glass had terrible clarity and the reticle did not even move when I tried to sight it in. You get what you pay for especially in optics. If it was just for a .22 I might say go for it, but if you want to shoot out to 400 yards, you will want to stick with a name brand scope. The scope that alabamaoutdoors put up a link for has a great reputation and I'm pretty sure Nikon offers a lifetime warranty on their scopes. For shooting our to 400 yards, you will probably want to look at bullet drop compensating reticles like that Nikon. What caliber rifle is it going on? Shooting out to 400 yards will be no problem with 9x magnification. I just ordered a new 3-9x scope for my new rifle which is .223 and I plan to shoot out to 500 and 600 yards. After buying an NCstar, I decided to just spend the money on a great scope and not look back. If you have any other questions, post them up. Thanks for the tips, the rifle im looking at is a Remington 770 .243, it has a Bushnell 9x40 scope( but i figured i'll prolly need drop compencating lines), the gun is used with a scope for $300 which aint bad
