Accidentally bought a new rifle...now I need glass.

Howdy,

I realize there's a bunch of threads on here about what glass to get, but given that people's price range and intended uses are different, the suggestions differ considerably. So here goes...

A couple of days ago I was meeting a guy to buy an old Remington 700 mountain gun. He was running late, so I dropped into Scheel's to look for a cheek piece for one of my Tikka's. While in there, I stroll over to the Tikka island and mixed in with all of the new Tikka rifles was a T3x Tact A1. At first glance, I thought it was new and didn't bother looking at the price tag because I knew it was out of my price range. Eventually I worked my way over to it and picked it up. It was a 24" .308 model...then when I flipped the price tag over and saw that it was used, with two CTR mags ( I happen to have 3 other CTR mags, so I have 5 now). Price after military discount...$1329 + tax. Admittedly, I would have done back flips if it had been in 6.5 Creed, but I still thought it was a pretty smoking deal given the near perfect condition. Needless to say, the credit card came out and I snagged it up along with another SilencerCo mount and bipod.

Its been a minute since I've done any significant long range shooting and back then it was either a M24 with Leupold fixed 10X and briefly a Mk13 with Nightforce 3.5-15x. I currently have two "precision" guns...one is a M40 ish thing in .308 that wears an old US Optics 1.8-10 MR-10 TPAL. The other is a LMT MWS in 6.5 Creed that wears a Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50.

So now I have this new stick and there's a mess of new optics and reticles available and names I've never heard of along with prices for optics that have become astronomical. My plan is to temporarily move my Nightforce over to the Tikka just to make sure it shoots and isn't a dog before I drop money on glass. If it shoots, I'll then look for something to put on top. If it doesn't...I may get it rebarreled in 6.5, but now I'm nearly back to the price of a new one.

My use is really paper and steel. I don't really hunt and my days of military competition have long since passed. I haven't explored the PRS game but I'm interested to learn more. My budget is about +/-$1,500. I'm fine buying used/demo provided the scope is in like new condition. I've been eyeing the PX and there's certainly some good deals, but I just don't know what the "go to" is these days for my use and price point. Given that I'm shooting .308, I think something up to the 20x magnification should be plenty but I'm open to suggestions.

Usps at its finest

Wife ordered some stuff for Christmas and USPS said it was delivered. It wasn't. Several days go by and numerous calls to the office then finally they confirmed it was dropped off to the wrong house and that they sent the delivery person to try to retrieve it. Last night come home to an opened box on the porch.

Whoever got the package opened it, tore the product packaging to shreds, then decided they didn't want it and we got it back. Postal is acting like this is completely fine. Not sure if anything was taken out of our package or not.

SOLD ZCO 5-27 MPCT1 with Spuhr 6001 Mount

Recently acquired this scope from a buddy who bought it new last year. I really want to like it but prefer my tangents. Tracks great from what I could tell today in the match and wasn’t missing due to the scope lol

This is a 15mil locking turret model. Does have some hardened adhesive from the coband wrap my buddy had on it stuck on the scope but it’s black and blends in well for better or for worse.

Asking 3600 shipped with the spuhr mount. Have the box for the spuhr and the box for the ZCO. Will include additional pics when I get home and get the dust off the scope. Includes the neoprene cover as well, no caps. Rifle is not included obviously.

Would trade for a Tangent 5-25 with any reticle that’s not the gen2xr.

Cosmetically it is great shape and has no nicks, dings or scratches. It has a slight discoloration possibility from annodyzing but it's very faint.

This has the EBR-7D reticle which is about as good as it gets.

This comes with box, sunshade and scope caps as well.

Please ask if you have any questions.

Best app for land property lines, hunting and surveying?

Our family has abt 250 acres of land spread over 3 properties. I have all the paperwork with the drawn lines, distance, and whatnot, but it's hard to get an accurate idea of my location when you're deep in a hardwood bottom. The land has markers, but they were placed decades ago when the land was almost clear. Looking for something I can use when I'm traipsing about to shlw my location in relation to property lines

New purchase - MATCH PRO ED 3-18X50 RIFLESCOPE

I picked up the New Bushnell 3-18 Match Pro, and when comparing it in a Side by Side to my Leupold MK5 3.6-18 IMO I'd say the clarity on the Match Pro is definitely better with less CA. The closest house to me is exactly 207 yards away and I can clearly make out the large Phillips head screws on his front door. The MP is brighter and seems to gather more light.

The Eye Box is extremely generous and the 15yrd parallax is very broad not anywhere near as sensitive as the MK5.

The illumination shake awake function is helpful. The Match Pro has some shared features with the MK5 such as the Rev indicator, Zero Stop, Locking Elevation, Caped widget.

The Elevation adjustment is just as Audible and tactile as the MK5 but the Match Pro windage is pretty quite but still tactile.

The Turetts are easier to read especially compared to that funky windage line the MK5 has. 40 Mils of Elevation, 14.5 Mils Windage for the Match Pro, Field of View at 3x is 41' at 100 yds and at 18x 6.8' . Has a very generous 3.9" Eye Relief.

I prefer a 34mm main tube over the Leupold 35mm because 98% of my optics are 34mm which I already have plenty options on hand for mounting.

I've had to send in Vortex, Nightforce, minox, Leupold, Burris..what shit show that was🙄 but never a Bushnell HDMR/DMR/Pro.

At only only 2oz heavier and half the price of the MK5 I feel like I've found the perfect SPR Optic. If the reliability is anywhere near as good as the Tactical Elite 3.5-21x50, it's a win.

If anyone is interested in me following up on this thread as I Stetch it out, let me know.

It is now clear that it has become the Communist Party of America


She isn’t doing this herself… this is the Communist Party of America. Finalizing its hijacking of the Democrat identity.

Don’t count this bitch out…. She is a mouthpiece for big, big money that wants to end the American dream.

I hope they find out the depths of the corruption behind this feckless twat fast…. And do the whole Dracula thing on her campaign. Wooden stake… in the figurative sense… for you glowies.
