Regardless of what the box says- all Eley products have yielded 1115-1120 for me.

Guessing running a smaller short action.

1-6x is really the sweet spot for LPVO imho.

I agree. All of these manufacturers completely missed the mark with all of the effort they've put into chasing 1-8x and 1-10x first focal plane LPVOs. The NX8 and PLX c could have been real winners, given their form factor, if they just engineered them to be 1-6x second focal plane scopes with etched reticles.

@OP, if you really want an LPVO, what I'd be looking at is the 1-6x credo with the etched segmented circle bdc reticle. Its a very nice scope. Still, an LPVO isn't the best choice for precision shooting from a bench or prone. A $1000 2-10x will beat out a $2000 LPVO in terms of usability.

Also, forget about the offset red dot. That's mostly for running and gunning, stand up shooting type stuff. I have, however, found running a 12 o'clock dot to be useful for getting on target when I'm dialed up.

For your stated purpose, I'd go with a 2-10x of some flavor. There are a few good options. I run a 2.5-10x Leupold Mark 4HD. It is a very comfortable scope to get behind. I use mils, so I have the TMR reticle. It isn't the greatest reticle, but the scope as a package is nice. I love it more every time I get behind it.

Although it lacks a parallax adjustment, I haven't missed it for shooting out to 800. The depth of field is incredible and focus hasn't been an issue at all.

There's a lot of good info here. But I have had similar experiences with two factory Howa rifles. At 100 yards they would print 3/8" groups with just about anything I fed them. At 300 yards neither rifle could hold five shots on an 8 1/2 x 11 paper. Never could figure out why. Both of those rifles now have Bartlien barrels done by Fritz and hold 1 1/2" groups at 300.

For some of the guys saying it could be the shooter, in my case it was not. And someone capable of holding sub minute groups at 100 should be capable of the same out to 500 yards.

I do agree the rifle probably doesn't like that node judging by the 100 yard groups. Drop the charge by .4-.6 and see. Looking at your groups they are tall and narrow. Seating depth can adjust this especially with Bergers. My general rule of thumb with Bergers is 6 thou off the lands for single feeding or as long as the magazine allows. My pet load for The 6.5 CM is 40.5. I can't go hotter with the two lots of Lapua brass I have without compressing the load. The rifle doesn't like it. Tried going hotter with Hornady brass but the rifle didn't like that either.

In my semi autos two different lots of the same speed SABR..1060 averaged 1119 over 50 rounds.

My 1072 averaged 1120 the other day. Not a really hot day though.

The acab crowd will be along shortly to point out the excessive force used in that takedown. That pig may have been a sovereign citizen and they didn't even ask for an id or read him his rights.

Was this unjustified use of force, or were they just protecting one of their own?

I don’t need anything crazy far back. I currently have the gray ops but would like it a little further than I can get with this. I was hoping area 419 would give a little more but I don’t want to purchase it to find out I’m wrong

Eley listed FPS is typically conservative as depicted by the chrono results.

Yep out my Brux the slowest I’ve had as far as real numbers is with a lot that says 1044 but chrono’d at 1086. Most of it regardless of what the box says is 1100-1130 over a chrono

If you want to be able to place the scope really far back the 419 mount or even the 419 mid cantilever and put it backwards. Depending on the action, the gray ops may take up most of if not the entire top rail.

Did that to be accurate, there would have to be lots fairly off from the advertised weight though wouldn’t there? Unless they’re culling the extremes themselves and that’s another reason cost per bullet is so high.

Or just selling the extremes as seconds, or maybe even weight sorting them and selling them in batches as loaded ammo. It's hard to say.

The truth is that excluding the most precise shooting sports, the difference in weight of any major manufacturers bullets probably won't have any effect on the shooter in the end anyways. If you can't shoot the difference, then it doesn't matter. For hunters and anyone not shooting groups at 1k or further, a half a grain of weight will probably never show up on paper anyways.

Which one piece scope mount would allow me to have the optic in the furthest rearward position (shortest eye relief) between the Gray Ops and Area 419? My small brain can’t figure it out because I think the area 419 rear ring hangs over the last mount bolt more but it appears to have less area between the rings? This is for a G3 6-36

I have been eyeballing there new ebike drive system. I have a buddy that has it on his 160mm travel bike and he swears by it. It's the latest pinion, I can't think of what frame it is at the moment. It's a high pivot, and doesn't need a tensioner. He was running a belt on his originally and said the belt gets squeaky/gritty and it annoyed him. There were some tensioning differences between the two setups and due to that the chain was preferred.

I'm gonna try to go ride Sunday and next weekend. Finally on a decent roll getting in better shape.

Give me a shout and we will ride sometime. You need to get to Horseshoe Canyon Ranch and check out their trails, they have been working on them quite a bit lately.
