    Match winning scopes

    As above, the Athlon Cronus G2 is probably the best bang for the buck and will last you for a very long time as it's an excellent scope.

    Cz 457 150 yds Eley match?

    If they are 1" squares then those groups are all very good.

    .308 Winchester

    1:12 16" barrel, 2430 MV. For perspective, @ 400m my 18" 223 with 73gr ELD-Ms had much less windage and elevation (so the above 308 load is terrible). Bullets should've dropped into the Transonic range around 700m, so 900m (13.5mils of elevation) was actually into subsonic range. Perhaps they...

    .308 Winchester

    Surprising because it performed better than expected, I expected keyholing and the projectiles to barely make it to the target based on the general wisdom of this bullet. Had the target been around 1mil in size we would've had half decent performance.

    .308 Winchester

    So I shot some factory S&B match with 168gr SMKs @ 2430fps at 900m (984yards) yesterday, target was only .6mil big and was holding 2.5-3mils of wind. The ammo performed horribly, with only a few impacts out of 20 or so shots, but based on reviews of the 168gr SMK the ammo did better than...

    6.5 Creedmoor 100gr ELD-VT + Varget Load Development

    Interesting that the recoil is more than the 6CM. How does the 6CM with 108s have considerably better performance, or does the 100 eldvt hang in there ok? At least at closer distances.

    6x45... whats the deal?

    So a bit faster than 223 with 75-80gr bullets. Pretty good performance considering the BC on the 87 vmax isn't terrible (similar to a 73gr ELDM).

    I Spy New Baby Theos 2-10x

    Here’s a promo video. I wonder why they didn’t put numbers on the main horizontal stadia? That would annoy me. There’s a few other slightly off things about the reticle IMO but it’s far from the worst MPVO reticle out there. I find the whole, 34mm tube, 43mils of elevation thing weird too...

    What kind of velocity from a 20" barrel?

    6.5 Creedmoor 100gr ELD-VT + Varget Load Development

    Is the recoil notably softer with these over 130-140gr bullets?

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Thinking some more about this, it's a shame it's on the -VT that has such a high BC, would make an awesome general purpose hunting bullet. With the speed limitations for comp shooting I wonder if the 107-108gr bullets would be a better option. I found some 108gr Scenars at home, I might try...

    I Spy New Baby Theos 2-10x

    We need a new rifle scope category, TB-MPVO or Thicc Boi MPVO. This scope ticks a lot of boxes, the reticle should at least be very usable on 2x, but at 29oz you could run a 3-15 instead, especially if you were going to have an RDS anyway.

    Which counties outside North America have a strong PRS scene? Rim or centerfire

    Are the Pro series matches all part of a larger European based series? Or does each country have there own series and a European finale?

    CZ 457 MTR Scope rings

    Optics Warehouse has the Element Titan 5-25 with is probably comparable to the Strike Eagle, and looks like a cheaper option.
