I prefer a fixed power optic, but am having a tough time finding something in the 15x to 20x range with a 50+mm objective. I have an IOR 10×56 on mt .308 and they make a 16×42 which would be pretty good except I really would like a bigger objective for more light gathering. http://www.valdada.com/16×42-30mm-tactical-mil-mil-sf-mp-8-reticle/
Is that all? lol. Nice selection! Reach out and touch someone!
Very VERY green with envy. Let me guess who called you about it…
Nope. It’s been Out Of Stock at one of my vendors for a couple months. Every few days I check their inventory and they just happened to finally have a couple in stock.
What’s tragic is that it’s going to be months before I can even shoot this thing because getting all the gear and optics together is going to be so expensive. Definitely a project gun.
Sometimes it’s fun to simply shoot for recoil therapy without concern for hitting the X.
So…the poll was sandwiched betwixt two new firearm ‘buys’ – I guess we know what the right answer was! 🙂
Zero
That is a sweet long range power projector you got into. I have mused about getting one but here in WI a long shot is 4-500 yds maybe. Our longest rifle range is 600 yds and you .338 Lapua is just getting a good head of steam at that distance! Have fun with it. Also even if you reload ammo costs are not to be taken lightly. Hard to pound off 100 Rd’s and not feel a distinct ache in the wallet.
Needs a bit of blueing hope you didn’t pay big for that.
Ii assume what youre referring to are the light colored patches where the styrofoam from the box rubbed against the gun. It wipes off.
Take me Bill Tyler, take me. Addictions can be a terrible thing!. But not all.
I bought a RPR in 6.5 Creedmoor a few years ago and it’s great. Easy on the shoulder and has the range for long shots way past my skill level. TTFN
What, and you didn’t buy his little brother the 300 Win Mag, you know, just for company cause it might get lonely. They’re just like animals and people, they need company, not always, but frequently….
Seems I remember a post at the first of the year about somebody not buying guns for awhile. Wonder who that was? LOL
“She’s a beaut Clark!” LOL!
Now some dies, powder, powder… and more powder! To me it’s really a better option than a 50 BMG. I’m becoming more aware of “space efficiency” in my old age I guess!
Lapua is Finnish for “hurts your face to shoot”. But that Accu-trigger is pure, grass-fed, butter. Mmmmm-hmmmmm!
Ruger Precision Rifle?
Nice. What caliber?
Matt
Lapua.
Sweet! Have fun with it! Got an optic in mind?
