    Check the dimensions of the uniden 520 as that's the size that fits. I believe it's less than 5" wide.

    Damn it I figured! Think it's worth running a spring with a 3' firestik?

    Yes, but I don't Think it's worth running a firestik in the first place. They're very heavy and bulky. You'll rip up mounts or something without a spring. Wheeling in the mountains, my antenna spends a ton of time in tree branches. Happy with my Wilson flex for its flexibility.

    I hunt for meat so my approach will always be in the form of a 300 wsm or better and good optics :p even though we got a lot of meat it was a slow year for us. Bow hunting is fun but long range hunting is almost a sure thing for meat.

    Those scopes are really nice too. I hear really good things about the Bergers too! Wish I had the tools and knowledge to reload cuz it gets really expensive with bigger rifles like ours lol

    I have a buddy that owns an ammo business and he reloads for me, I just tell him what I want. I like the zeiss I get a pro deal on them. Thinking about putting one on my 270.

    Must be nice lol love my Zeiss! So clear! 3-15x50 with custom elevation turret from Kenton Industries! Pricey but I know it will last me a while! My dad has had a Zeiss on his 338 WM and it has been through some shit and it is still dead accurate without resighting in lol!
