I’m looking to get a new barrel spun up for a RimX and a smith is offering either lilja or kreiger for roughly the same price. I have no idea which direction to go since the world of rimfire is still pretty new to me, my current barrel (Green mountain) seems to be a hammer just to light of a contour for my liking. So I don’t know which direction to really go, step up to a premium barrel but which one at that point or just do an other green mountain.

I have looked at every scope on the market below a ZCO. Currently, I've settled on the Burris XTR3 5.5-30x56 with SCR Mil Reticle.
I have three of these, they all have excellent glass. Compared side x side with three different 3.3-18x50 SCR Mil versions, the 5.5-30's have a "nicer picture" with more clear glass at all mag levels. At least that is the way it was with my 6 Burris XTR3 scopes.

I recently purchased a Zeiss LRP 3.6-18x50 and compared it with my two Leupold Mark 5 HD 3.6-18x50 PR-1 Mil scopes. The after hours of adjustment, the Zeiss was "barely" nicer in resolution, contrast and color were identical.

I had two of my 5.5-30 XTR 3 scopes that weren't mounted, so I compared those both to the Zeiss. My XTR3's were better in every way.

I sold the Zeiss.

I just got a great deal on a Burris XTR Pro with SCR 1/4 Mil. Just arrived today from Sportoptics. I spent a good portion of today, off and on comparing it directly on a tripod from ranges of 70 yards to 1200 yards from the front of my house to the mountainside in my neighborhood.

I know that my examples of the Standard XTR3 5.5-30 have OUTSTANDING glass, i've tuned the eye piece perfectly for optimum resolution for my eyes. They must be "good ones" because they are incredible.

The Pro initially "didn't look as good". I played with the eye piece "reticle focus" some more and tuned it to where things started to come together. I also realized that the parallax on the Pro is more "finicky" than the standard XTR3. You have to fine tune it more than the regular XTR3 to get the parallax out and resolution perfect.

After spending a good portion of today looking through these, and fucking with adjustments on the pro.

Here is the conclusion.

XTR Pro
Parallax adjustment is more finicky, more critical to "tune". 1200 yards parallax was "out" with setting just past 750 yard mark on dial. Closer to 750 than infinity mark. When set to infinity, parallax was present and clarity suffered at 1200 yards. I'm assuming this may be good set at infinity at ranges closer to a mile.
Colors.......Deeper Green, Darker Browns(notably "different" than the XTR3)
Resolution.......Excellent, BARELY better than my standard XTR3, (depending on what I looked at)
Contrast.........Excellent, notably better than my standard XTR3 (still very close optically)
Brightness.........Both, bright as hell

XTR3
Parallax adjustment very forgiving......set to infinity, 700 to 1200 yds objects seemed focused well.
Colors......a little lighter looking, one might think "brighter", but not really, just not as deep color
Resolution......Excellent, slightly less than XTR Pro
Contrast.........Excellent, slightly less than XTR Pro
Brightness..........colors seem lighter, greens are a lighter green, browns are a lighter brown.


I think I have 3 excellent 5.5-30x56 standard XTR3's. The one that currently isn't mounted, is probably the "best" of the bunch.

It is the only one that isn't mounted, so It's the only one I compared the pro to.

In my examples................they are fucking close.

They are both fucking awesome.

As far as the pro, the illumination choice of Red, or Green is awesome. (it's not daylight bright), which is fine for me.
The SCR 1/4 Mil reticle is AWESOME!!
The elevation Turret is AWESOME.



P.S...................
I've compared this standard 5.5-30x56 XTR3 to my Vortex Razor Gen 3 6-36 and on 25x and 30x the Vortex was slightly better.

So, without having the Vortex available to put on the tripod, it didn't get a direct comparison to the pro. I know from experience though, that the Vortex will be slightly "nicer" than the pro.


Conclusion...........

The $1100 Camerland deal on the Burris XTR3 5.5-30x56 (If you can live with the SCR reticle)................is a FUCKING STEAL.

I'm happy with the Pro though (for under $1900 shipped NEW) .....................it's sticking around. Well done Burris, and thanks to SportOptics for the hookup.

P.S.
For those who don't think it's worth dicking around with the "reticle focus" to "tune resolution", your missing out. EVERY scope I've put on a tripod and spent time with has benefited, sometimes greatly by a slight tune to the "fast focus" reticle adjustment.

Wow. Just wow.

We're talking a potential 12 figure inheritance here. Five years from now, when this kid is slinging lattes in a Portland coffee shop he's going to look back at this news article and kick himself where his nuts used to be.

Somehow I ended up with this Amt Backup handgun (kinda a joke between friends). It's definitely not in good condition, but I'm pretty sure its all there. The slide cycles really rough. I've heard some really enjoy these models, and buy parts guns to restore them. I've never shot this thing, and don't plan to (or know if it even does), so if anyone wants a project or needs some parts I'll give them this for $100. Shipped

Decided I needed a water cooled project. colt 1917 parts kits seem to be non existent, as do a lot of the old parts kits, seems I’m about 15 years behind the power curve. Well I found a vickers “display” gun and thought I’d take the gamble and got it. Got it before I even knew much about them but here is the gun as it showed up, along with the tripod.

My AR varmint gun has had a Jewel 2 stage trigger for over twenty years. It is worn out and now is basically a three round burst. I have to admit that I did have fun at the range today shooting the 400 yd steel plates with 3 round burst! I'm looking for either a singe or two stage trigger that is reliable and has a light enough trigger pull for shooting small groups with a heavy barrel varmint gun. What is available these days?

I am pretty new to precision rifle shooting took my first class with my savage 10fcp 308 bolt gun and got hooked i talked to someone that recommended upgrading one of my ARs to an 18inch barrel and throwing a scope on it to train with since it would be cheaper ammo wise instead of buying a whole new bolt gun. Long story short i ordered a wilson combat urban sniper barrel instead of going with a white oak because im impatient it showed up in the mail today and to my surprise it didn't have a threaded muzzle it is crowned can someone give me a rundown on crowned vs a brake should i just run it? I doubt wilson combat will let me return it considering it was my mistake and i opted to have it coated.

Lots of new gun owners these days, looks like this company has created a target system catering to X-wives and pissed girlfriends.

After a long wait I finally received the vudoo I ordered back in January I think it was. Thought it would be interesting to keep track of shots and groups etc. almost all of these were from 50 yds except for the 2 groups at 100. They are all 5 round groups as well with various ammo. Group size is being measured from outside to outside minus .22”. Very happy with this vudoo. Need to shoot some more groups at 100. I zero’d it off one lot of Center X and otherwise have been simply holding center of target for everything. None of you may care but the information is interesting to me anyway, ha. Everything off of a bench over the last week. 3 different times out shooting also. This is literally every round threw this rifle so far other than the first 5 rds to get the scope on paper. I have had no issues or hang ups in any way so far.

Different ammo:

Center x, 2 different lots
Sk standard plus
Lapua Midas +
Sk long range match

I’ve never been to or shot in any 22 comp so curious if this is good enough etc. I just shoot with a couple friends and can only compare it to that

Well,

The wife and I are starting to look at buying a winter retirement home. I retired from the USCG about 5 years ago, and I am about 15yrs from retiring again. But we are exploring the idea of buying a second home somewhere that does not get as cold as SE Alaska and snow like it did here this winter. But I am lost on where that is...

Looking for recommendations, that are friendly for our hobbies, not frigid and have Alaska Airlines service. We love Hawaii, go out several times a year, but isnt very 2A friendly.
