I have both version of the XTR PS and that HUD is really growing on me. The ballistic data was very close to AB. The app does give you the option to true it. After truing, I have complete agreement between Burris Connect, AB Quantum and Geoballistics.

Optically, with the two I have, 5.5-30x is a little better than the 3.3-18x, but that is likely sample variation. It is pretty much XTR3i optical system, so it is a step behind Pro, but still very good.

The big advantage for me is to not need to look at the turret when dialing. Also, when I dial in yards, it is easier for me to estimate wind. If I dial in mrad, I need to remember exactly which distance that corresponds to in order to translate from my gun's MPH number to the wind hold.

Same goes for the level and the time. The less I have to look at stuff outside the scope the better.

This is the true benefit for these things. The only thing I would prefer is never having to look outside the scope. I really hope they eventually come out with a built in LRF version too. Don't even need the holdover dot like the E6. Just tell me the range and I can either hold, or dial it. How awesome would that be?

Now that they got the E6 and the XTR-PS, I do believe they will marry them up and we will end up with a new XTR-PSR version at SHOT 2026. I am def going to make the suggestion when I go next year if I don't see it.

XTR III glass is pretty good and more than useable. We were never going to get Pro or better glass in an optic that has a street price basically the same as the Pro.

That's an order of magnitude better than the glass Sig puts in their BDX Sierra6/Easy6 ballistic scopes, granted the PS is twice the price. However I'd consider XTR 3 glass more than useable and the Sierra 6/Easy 6 glass is abysmal. It basically compares with a above average $300 optic. The Sig's both fall well short of PST Gen 2 glass, which it still easily useable but hardly great glass even at a sub $1000 price point limit.

That said I love to see more companies pushing the envelope on these types of optics. I'd imagine for a lot of the market the big limiter that keeps companies from making them is the high number of states that ban such things for hunting purposes. This also might by why Sig avoided a built in rangefinder as some states make a distinction between a scope that gets say holdover information like the Sig and a scope that can range and do ballistics in the same package. For example in CO it used to be illegal to have a scope that had any ballistics calculator contained within it. In such a case it was deemed a "Smart rifle" no idea if it's still that way. So in that case something like the Sig BDX would be okay because it gets info from an external source for ballistics/holdovers. However in the case of the eliminator it has everything internal. Utah used to basically restrict any electronic feature in a scope outside of an illuminate reticle as being against regulations. It's kind of silly, but I'd imagine the manufacturers are looking at hunting regs to evaluate a product's viability. If a lot of states have regulations that restrict these sorts of optics for hunting use that's a huge loss of potential customer base. It was probably originally intended to restrict NV use, but it's hard to argue that having a rangefinder and ballistics calc inside the scope itself useable on demand would not increase the percentage of ethical kills.

Yeah I've noticed many states no longer allow these. I read one state (a post here, can't remember state) can't have a ballistic calculator on the rifle (so that includes any WMLRF). I get that it is trying to "fair" up the "game", but come on... These aid in an ethical kill. I'm sure there are reasons for it, that's beyond me.

@Snipenpunks @EazyID messaged you both back on the DM’s you sent to me!

I had a problem with a failed zero stop on a 527. Zco received it on a Tuesday. Got a call Wednesday morning. The scope is fixed, would you like a free NLE turret while i have it? Sure. Had it back in my hands on Friday.

Maybe in the UK it might be different. But in the states, all the quick change barrel long action/magnum rifles are M30. Mostly known as post 2014 (but there are some pre 2014 AXMCs) The AX338 still uses the old AW actions but in a AX chassis so it still uses the M27 tenon. Or basically if it's a long action, and takes double stack mags, it's a M30. This is not including some of the newer stuff made for special departments(German G22)

I believe mine does take a double stack 338 mag. I’m not home currently or I’d verify. It’s fat I know that.

I was able to use both my Mini AB and Sig Kilo 10k at the same time.

From your tactix 8!? so it's just constantly updating the wind and whenever you lase, that's being updated too.

It can't get much better than that (unless Fire 4000 gets this feature too)

I'm dying to know if it can take the recoil from a rifle for a rifle mounted setup

Interesting. From new/factory? 300WM wasn't a factory option at the time, for the AX338.

To be fair, I have AW bolts with small firing pins, which technically aren't original spec.

Well I could have misread and might have an expensive paperweight.

Part number was 20013 on EO.

AX338 isn't the smaller M27 tenon. Only the AWM used M27 (for long actions).

Did you get an AXMC 300WM bolt? I always wondered if the AX338 and AXMC actions were identical except for the quick change barrel feature.

The dive functionality on the Tactix 8 covers the vast majority of divers, but it's not the same as on the dedicated dive watches. It supports recreational diving up to 40 meters, single gas and doesn't support air tank integration that is available on the Descent line of watches.

You can pair an AB compatible LRF with the Tactix or with AB Quantum. You can also pair the Calypso AB Mini, but not the standard Calypso Mini, with the Tactix or with AB Quantum.

If you pair the Tactix to the AB Quantum app you don't need to purchase a license for the app. It will use the license from your watch so if you have the Ultralight license on the watch, you'll have that on the app. If the watch has the Elite license, they the app will as well. FYI - this does NOT work the other way around. You can't purchase a license on the app and use it to unlock the watch.

Yep. I'm a rec diver, so that is all I need. I really wish you guys uploaded the aviation maps on the tactix 8 as well. I tried but doesn't seem I can do that. Also another suggestion for the team is, if aviation mode is on, maybe have a mode for the o2 sensor to be on as well (so I can monitor my o2 while flying at high cabin altitudes or unpressurized planes)

I have the ultralight, and didn't know the Elite from watch will carry over to the app. That's good to know. Thank you.

and lastly. Is it possible to have two devices paired for applied ballistics? (AB Mini & LRF) - So this way my range & my wind is constantly being calculated for a solution.

Thanks for the quick responses!

Anyone use H4895 or AR Comp with 155s and 168s? What is a good place to start with those components?

I have fired a ton of 155's of various flavors (150 FMJ-BT, Hornady 155 HPBT, and Sierra 155 SMK) with H4895. A charge in the 41.7-42 gr range, loaded to mag length is the ticket. Seems to work great with just about all of these, and doesn't beat the gun or brass up too much. This is with LC brass as well.

I got an “AX” 300 wing mag bolt. But the AXMC would be a lot easier moving forward.

Sounds like I should pop the barrel off and verify the tenon.

Phil Robertson undoubtedly passed through the Pearly Gates with a salute and a “well done, sir!”

And on the same day, this POS is getting fitted for a little-Bo-peep costume that he’ll be wearing when Lucifer shoves a pineapple up his worthless, thieving, race-baiting ass.

Former New York Congressman Charles Rangel Dead at 94

NEW YORK (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, an outspoken, gravel-voiced Harlem Democrat who spent nearly five decades on Capitol Hill and was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, died Monday at age 94.

If you can’t walk into Cabelas and buy a rifle and ammo, then the cartridge doesn’t exist. Wildcatters are gonna wildcat, but their creations aren’t a thing until they’re picked up by an actual manufacturer.
