Thanks everyone, I now have a better idea of what I want. My SIL has an Athlon on his 7mm, nice scope, but has the illuminated reticle which I don't want. They do offer scopes without the illumination, but at much higher prices. I took a look at Burris and like what I've seen for the price point. The glass is clear all the way to the edge, and the magnification seems to remain very sharp. I found a 6.5x20-50 with a mil-dot reticle for just over $200. For my purposes, I think it will do just fine.
It occurs to me this discussion probably should have been held in the optics section, so let me get back on track about the rifle. Has anyone converted their rifle from the floor plate configuration to using magazines? The conversion looks simple enough, but seems a little senseless since the standard floor plate version hold 4 rounds and the mags only hold 3. I guess it's faster to reload, but you'd think a 4 round mag wouldn't be that difficult to manage. I also have to decide on ammo. The Bergara has a 1-9 twist where my Weatherby had a 1-12 and the Winchester had a 1-14. With my hand loads the Weatherby zeroed in 12 rounds at 100 yards, the last 3 rounds touching in a clover leaf. The Winchester seemed very happy with it as well. I'm hoping the B14 will like them as well. I was hoping to provide the exact load info, but we rearranged the garage and my reloading box is buried. I did find my book though and I was loading 55gr ballistic tips over 34gr of Accurate 2520 using Winchester primers.
I also need a bi-pod. Is Harris still the gold standard or is there something better these days?
