Next scope purchase (ATACR, ZCO, DMR) Thoughts??? Feedback

Secant said:
If you want a crossover scope from Nightforce, the 4-16x42 is the way to go IMO. It's a shame the 4-20 ATACR tunnels as bad as it does, otherwise it would be a good budget alternative to the 4-20 ZCO.

Personally, I prefer everything about my ZCO420 over my 4-16 ATACR. For a crossover scope, I also prefer the ZCO420 over my TT315M, Kahles, Mark 5, AMG, Bushy Elite, et cetera, et cetera.

I can't wait to run a ZC420 after running the fantastic ZC527 :)

Here’s the thing, and thank you for locating this older news story about the subject in question. Story mentions one of the chargers as being possession of a firearm by a felon. There is more prior criminal history here, violent people need to do hard time and not skid-bids. If this turd of a human being was in prison where he belonged these officer funerals wouldn’t have to be planned. I put blame on the courts and DA’s for allowing these career criminals the ability to remain in our society. This is another tragedy that didn’t need to happen, not Monday morning quarterbacking these people need to remain in prison.

Turning police departments into SF snatch teams will not solve anything, unless they start roving kill squads that move around executing undesirables. That is not ok.
Until DA’s, judges,and courts start punishing criminals hard and fast, thus stuff will continue, but that will not be done.

Right on that's great input, 1000 rounds is definitely gonna take about 5 years with this rifle so I'm really not that worried about it.
Good to hear that accuracy has remained without having to tweak your loads, that's my biggest concern with overbore cartridges.

I should caveat that with the fact that I got this barrel with about 200 rounds already on it used, so it was already well broken in. Assuming you're past the break in period I don't see why you couldn't use the same load until it's burned out. Wouldn't be a bad idea to clean it more often though. For example, I'll try and give it a good clean every 60 rounds or so whereas my 6 Creedmoor might go 150-200 rounds before a clean. I think that cleaning schedule helps prevent groups opening up on an overbore cartridge like this.

Best value for a benchrest/reference scope?

Because I haven't looked through the Heras all I've got to share in the comparison between the two is what two friends told me. They couldn't tell hardly any difference in image quality, one swears his Ares gets the nod, the other struggles to make out a difference. Both these shooters are national champions, one in Benchrest, and one Field target, so pretty reliable sources.

The reticle is thin so I wanted the 'mostly' daylight bright illuminated center dot in the ETR because sometimes the reticle wouldn't be easy to see against shaded targets when shooting in FT matches.

I love this scope, its amazing, regardless of price.

I appreciate the input! To the OPs question, this seems like a great option for price. For me it's an experiment to see if I want to use this type of optic, so not a lot of downside.

I agree about that center dot preference. I'm not sure about a solid thin reticle. I like them dots.

What none of these morons that allowed these bears back in have considered is the caloric requirements of such a large animal. And that thing is big enough to take whatever it needs to live. Including livestock and people. It really has no choice either if you think about it from the bear’s perspective.

Many bears in that part of the state have been wandering the plains and prairies for years now. They are over 100 miles from the Rocky Mountain Front, finding new territory. Bears have huge home ranges and will seek out new territory at will. Quite a few farmers have gotten a hell of a surprise at their grain bins the last few years.

That is an exceptional grizzly in that picture. I think they are awesome animals, it would be cool if they issued some tags via lottery for a hunting season. Make it the same as black bears and try and limit to boars, and sows with no cubs.

This isn't a grizzly but he kills it with a blow gun. Skip to about 6:30 to see the shot. Otherwise, he's got a lot of information on preparation.

This grizzly kill is with a spear. Fast forward to 23:00 to see the kill.
