Rifle Scopes Hunting / Precision Rifle scope from Scheels

Hello All,
I'm building a up a custom bolt gun, 6.5 PRC, primarily a hunting rig, but want to practice on steel as far as my capabilities will let me 1200-1500yds? and maybe a local PRS match for more skillset work.

Rifle isn't together yet, but components are on order:
Terminus Zeus LH SA - QC thread
22" Proof Carbon - 6.5 PRC
MDT HNT26 Chassis
Trigger tech Diamond Trigger
Badger C1 Optic Mount
HuxWrx 762Ti Suppressor

*I'd like the package to be lighter than heavier, but I'm willing to take the hit in the action & glass

Hunting ranges are 150-600, with most being in the 2-400 range
I wanted to stay under 5x on the low end, 18+ top end, FFP, Mils, quality tree (the NF Mil-XT looked good?) & good glass & durability.

Optics I've been looking at: NF ATACR 4-20x50 F1, NF NX8 4-32 F1, Razor HD 4.5-27x56, Razor LHT 4.5-22x50, etc.
I work at Scheels & get a little bit of a deal. So I'd like to stick to their MFG selection: Vortex, NF, Ziess, Kahle, Swavorski, etc.

Historically I've shot Iron sight small bore competitions, handgun precision, etc.
I've never taken a hunting shot under ~6x, lower mags only used for glassing. Longest game shot was 600 yds with a 300WM & 3-10 Shepherd Scope

Hours of Battlefield has taught me target transitions w. High Mag/Low FOV can be overcome by an offset red dot... lol but I'm seriously considering it.

I've read here & other forums about tunneling on the ATACR, turret issues & meh glass on the LHT, eyebox issues with the NX8, $$$$ of Kahle, & nobody appears to like Vortex in the $2.5k+ here.


What would you recommend?
Thanks in Advance.

Seasonal Shooters?

I’m primarily a hunter but also like to shoot steel. I reload and have 2 Tikkas. UPR 308 and CTR with a Bravo chassis.

Anyone not shoot much in summer? I haven’t been to the range since May. I play a lot of tournament golf and have a family so range time has been non existent. I’m starting to get the itch as my reloading bench is collecting dust.

Anyone a “seasonal” shooter? I haven’t even been on the Hide in a few months.

Parts hard to find for my 6.5 build

Frustrated. I’ve built many ar platform type rifles. However, started some research for parts for a precision 6.5 creed bolt action repeater. Can’t find any actions in stock! This will be a lefty rifle. I want it to be lighter weight for hunting but not anorexic. I’ve looked at surgeon, defiance, stiller, impact, bighorn. Any recommendations and where to look to find in stock? Also wish to use a proof carbon fiber barrel.

I’m teachable.

Big Investors Decide ESG Is an Underperforming Fad


Bloomberg conducted its latest industry survey of its terminal clients, which generally include big banks, hedge funds, and other large financial institutions.

The survey found that 90 percent of 116 Bloomberg terminal clients who are not directly engaged with ESG expect the investment sector to underperform compared to market benchmarks in 2024, and 55 percent of those involved in ESG also believe it will underperform.

Sixty-nine percent of those not involved believe it is nothing more than a fad, with only 18 percent believing it will become more essential in business and markets, which is down 25 percent from the last Bloomberg survey.

“ESG has morphed from risk management to political activism for the left,” one respondent said.

Another Bloomberg terminal client said, “Our job is to provide returns for investors, not change the world.”


Approximately two-thirds of those surveyed say that the political backlash against ESG will force firms to stop using the term as they continue to advance environmental and social goals.

In June, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said he no longer uses “ESG,” lamenting it has become politicized.

House Republicans on the Financial Services Committee led a series of hearings in July, in which they targeted the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) efforts to enforce more disclosure requirements relating to ESG. They also called for more strict oversight of proxy advisers.

Despite the backlash against ESG, 43 percent of those surveyed said that they are scaling back their investments in fossil fuels and 21 percent are planning to do so.

Bloomberg reported, “Another theme that emerged from the survey was calls to separate the E, S and G as “they don’t belong together as a group; they’re totally different and unrelated issues.” The majority agree that the fiduciary responsibility of financial firms is more important than ESG.”

SOLD Manners LRH RH SA w/Hawkins Hunter BM

Been used but not abused. I had the full length arca rail on it but kept it for another gun. The threaded adapter is still there so if you buy one it'll be a direct bolt on as simple as it gets. Bedding was done for a TL3 but has worked just fine with a Origin and a Bergara B14r. The BM is made by Hawkins and is his Hunter style. Very lightweight stock/BM. Not needing any trades right now.

1050 shipped as a package.

Gun news and legislation

I've been thinking for a while that it would be good to have a single thread for firearm related news articles and to document the BS legislative attacks on our freedom.
