New guy from Idaho

[IdahoBCR]

I just acquired a Howa mini-action and have a Riton 3x24x56 to put on it, but am thinking about transferring my Burris 4.5x14x44 to it instead.

But I also have a spare Vortex 1x8x24 LVPO that might work well on it.

Any suggestion is appreciated!

Thanks for allowing me into the group!

Welcome to the clan, IR, from the great nation of Texas. The scope choice is driven by "what are ya gonna do with it". If you're gonna chase hawgs, the 1x8 is the better choice, if it's elk you're after, then the 4.5 will shine. Just depends on your goals. Or, do like the rest of us have done and get another Grendel and use a different scope on each of them. And then another and.....

I'm sure you don't need me to tell you which scope you like. Welcome to the forum. The Grendel's a great little cartridge. Where in Central Idaho are you?

When I was camping at Farragut State Park, walking to the water in the middle of the night, it was pitch black. I shined my flashlight into the woods and seen nothing but eyes staring back at me. Must have been 15 pairs (deer) in them woods. Must be fun for you, there.
