Scope for Hunting Rig

I have a 6.5 PRC that has worn a Mark 5 3.6-18 since I bought the rifle. I sent it in to have some work done this winter and have since moved said Mark 5 to a Bergara B14r which I really like. I had originally looked at buying perhaps another Mark 4 for the 22 and moving the Mark 5 back, but I have since decided to explore another scope for my 6.5 PRC.

I am leaning heavily towards an ATACR 4-16 of some flavor for the PRC. If I had to pick right now id likely choose the 4-16x42 option. There is some benefit to an SFP 4-16x50 variant when using low power at dawn and dusk, but then you loose out on the benefits of stable reticle sub tensions at different magnifications.

The major question of this group is are there any other scopes I should consider? Not opposed to another Mark 5 but id like to try something else. NX8 2.5-20 has some merit, but a lot of people say it struggles with optical quality and a tight eye box at high power.

Rifle use is deer/big game to 500 yards. the 3.6-18/4-16/3-18 power is a good fit for what I am doing with it. Tube size does not matter, I dont mind some weight for quality glass and tracking but I dont want a 3lb club either.

Appreciate your responses!

TT 3-15P vs Kahles 3.5-28

Does anyone have any experience with both of these two optics? I understand the TT will have excellent IQ, and the Kahles should be good enough, but my main concern is eye box forgiveness, especially the minimum power and at 15 power for each.

Euro lists the TT’s exit pupil as being 11.5mm on its minimum magnification. Kahles lists theirs as having 7.4mm. Does this equate to the Tangent as having a more forgiving eye box, or is there more to this than the exit pupil?

And The Hits Just Keep On Coming !

Anyone for a bit more D.E.I. ?

Resizing Brass?

I am going to be resizing fired brass for the first time, as I have only ever used virgin brass before.

Rifle: Tikka T3X 6.5 Creedmoor
Virgin brass at 1.910 with a seated CBTO of 2.19

I have always used a CBTO measurement as my final measurement to maintain consistency. After firing, I anneal and clean the brass. I use a mandrel for the necks and then trim the case to 1.910

My concern now is that the brass size will still be different to that of the virgin brass.

Questions:

  1. My fired brass all exhibits different measurements using my Area 419 headspace Gauge. I suspect different brass expands and springs back at different rates. What would an acceptable tolerance be? If we uniformly resize less 0.002 then will this not impact the CBTO length that I use as my go to seating measurement?
    • I expect If dies and setup consistently bump all brass back the same amount (e.g., 0.002" less than fired measurement), the CBTO variation will be minimized. However, since brass length and case volume change with firing, some variations in CBTO may still occur.
  2. How much does this affect the load over time if we resize less 0.002 every time? Should we limit resizing + annealign to say 8 times for max safety/accuracy?
    • I expect case wall thickness may still change over multiple firings. If neck tension varies, bullet release pressure will vary, which affects velocity and pressure. I hope the change over the lifetime of the brass should not extend beyond anything that should significantly affect accuracy, enough to warrant new load dev etc.
  3. If I load the fired brass to the same CBTO, will the load react in the same way as with the virgin brass? Should I weigh fired vs. virgin brass to check for volume differences and scrap the outliers?
    • Fired brass may have different neck tension so I expect case volume will change leading to minor pressure and velocity changes as wall thickness changes over multiple firings.

Scope dope

I've been making a couple revisions to my SPR and SPRecce, one of which is keeping some dope on the inside of the ocular covers again as a fall back option. In the past, I'd use some masking tape but this time I thought I'd make something "fancy". I know there are commercial options available but I didn't really like them so I took a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B to make something tailored to the two guns. Plus side is it also didn't cost me any money. I "laminated" them with clear packing tape and trimmed the tape so that it would catch on the inside of the cap to stay put. It's a bit janky but it works. I attached the template sheet in case anyone wants to use them, the larger one is 1.75" in diameter and the smaller one is 1.50" in diameter.

Hunting & Fishing Pack same dimensions as Eberlestock Gunrunner but...

I really love the dimensions of the Gunrunner pack for hunting. I use the scabbard for a tripod and the top pocket for a game caller. The narrowness makes carrying a slung rifle and moving through thick bush great.

However I find the top loading only with drawstring and flap that attaches to the bottom flap very slow to open and close. You have to dig through or dump out the main compartment to get to anything at the bottom. Also I never use the butt flap. I find myself using the molle for extra pouches not to add more space but just to make things accessible.

I am considering an X1 Euro but don't really need the extra volume I just really like the multiple zip open compartments.

Are there any other comparable sized packs that easily store a tripod but are more compartmentalized with zippered pockets?

6mmDasher feeding from 308 magazine?

Hey 6Dasher shooters

I’m looking at jumping into the 6mm world and thinking 6Dasher could be my next calibre.

Asking the 6 dasher cohort if they have good experience feeding 6Dasher from .308 AICS pattern mags or whether it’s best to go with 6Dasher specific magazine? I’m involved with PRS style comps so a magazine reliability is important.

Thanks in advance
