ELR/PRS Sight in

lol.. I just asked this question in the bolt action forum and the results are interesting. I keep mine zeroed at 600yds but they are benchrest rifles mostly.

PVS-4 focus grabby- frustrated

For butter smooth operation and to conform to the OEM and NVESD, use Krytox 240AZ. The only semi-official alternative would be Dow 33 but I'd pick up a tube of 240AZ, it's the only lubricant I use for NV systems. Some use automotive dielectric silicon or food grade silicon, not recommended since it migrates quite readily. Definitely remove the lithium grease, better to use migration prone silicon than lithium. As with the PVS-4, 240AZ is to be used for all lubricated o-rings/preformed packing of 14's, ANVIS etc...

Staball match in 223

I have not been able to get enough powder into a case when using 77gr TMK's but have had some very promising test results with 73gr ELD-M projectiles. My testing was for an AR15 so I think Staball Match might work well for you as you are going to have a bit more room in the case due to loading longer than 2.255 for your bolt gun. When I can't find load data I have had good luck using Varget charge weights.

An oldie but goodie - the Vortex Razor 1-4x24

I called Vortex with a question about this scope ~ a year ago and was told I was mistaken, because they'd never made a FFP 1-4 Razor... eventually someone who was calculating how far away they were from a pension corrected him, but - that's how you know it, and me, and the gun are all getting long in the tooth - but working none the less.

I believe this was one of the better LPVOs offered before mag ranges went to 5, 6, 8 and now 10 factors.

This scope is sitting on my son's 14.5" 556 that has done God's work on pigs, coyotes, served through a few training classes and has worked for hits out to 500 yards. For the most part, it eats green tip and shits brass.

The scope is everything you'd expect from an early Razor. Glass is crystal clear and the scope has been bomb proof, cart proof, bounced around and never lost zero, never given us a moments aggravation.

It isn't the lightest thing, but if you ever get a chance to pick one up - they're great for the actual work you'll do with a 556, super excellent compliment to a clip on thermal, and generally easy to use.

Suggestions for optic covers for odd sized ACOGs/RMRs, NOX/RMRs etc?

Greetings all. I know I've seen some examples, but my Google Fu is failing me.

I'm looking for a cover to protect set ups like this while being transported in the field etc.

I've seen some heavy cloth/fabric stuff that clamshells over the RMR and optic. Our place tends to have an annoying combination of wind and fine sand.

Muchas gracias mi amigos.
