Glutton for punishment?? I actually have one of their older 4-14s that's been solid, and I've always been impressed with the glass. Currently, I'm looking at one of the Patriot 9-36x's, and seems to be a somewhat decent deal for $1800 NIB.

I know IOR Valdada scopes have been hit or miss in the past, how are the current options? How are the Recon and Patriots, at least compared with other optics in a similar price range? Has customer service improved?

Anyone shooting IMR4895, and how do you like it compared with H4895? I have a chance to pick up 6lbs for around $15/lb, and plan on loading behind 168s in my .308 and 75-77gr bullets in my .223. I have had good success with H4895, but haven't tried...

I *really* want to try some in 7mm-08 with heavier bullets, the Hodgdon site gives some impressive numbers.

I picked a few hundred, going to try them in Lapua brass with H100V, 4000MR, and Ramshot Hunter.

2600 is impressive, is it hard on brass??

Mine is an 8.7 twist....what velocity are you getting with RL19?

I know these bullets are likely too heavy due to the limited case capacity, but would the Nosler RDF 185's be worth trying in a 26" 7mm-08? Hodgdon's data stops with 175s, so reloading data is very limited...any chance H-100v would get MV to 2500fps out of an AICS magazine?

PM sent on the CDL stock...

I always wanted one of their mini actions in .223 to build a 7mm TCU, but sort of lost interest once I snagged a Howa mini in 6.5 Grendel.

You could try Iron Sight (www.ironsightinc.com), they *might* be able to help...good luck!

Not quite what you are looking for, but Midway has a 9-36x for $2200... https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020562118

Still waiting....should be soon.

Yes, I actually just mailed them in and requested replacements...

The last two Butler Creek caps I broke were replaced free of charge....although it did take over a month to get the replacements.
