I've got a PST II on my Ruger 6.5 and I don't have any problems with steel at 1000 yards, or at least at the 985 yards of the longest range I have access. Glass is good, tracking is spot on. Glass isn't as good as my Minox, but it's 1/3 the price and you can't beat the warranty.

Just got a Rauch BMOD cover for my Ultra 9 the other day. I haven't had a chancre to shoot with it yet so I can't comment on the durability or mirage mitigation, but it looks to be pretty well made and for $39 it's hard to justify not giving it a try.

Submitted TBAC 30 cal Ultra 9 on a regular trust through Meplat Group in Metairie, LA on 7/24. They send the check so I don't know when it was cashed, but the form 4 was approved 12/29. Now the wait for the stamp begins. Meplat is telling me they are just starting to get stamps in for...

I have an American Predator in an Oryx chassis with a Vortex PST II, It'll shoot 1 1/2" @ 200 yards, and easily hits 10" steel at 500 yards with 140 ELD Hornady, hard to beat for a $400 rifle in a $400 chassis.

Around 250 total rounds since new and about 50 or so since the last cleaning. If it was round count or cleaning related, either just cleaned or needed cleaning, I don't think it would have shot great, crappy, great like it did. I'm not really concerned about the whole thing, anything mss...

Probably could have worded that better. I usually don't, but when you torque to 60 in/lbs and the bolts back out a little dab of the blue lipstick type helps make sure it doesn't do it again.

Forum is called Stupid Marksmanship Questions so here goes. I had the oddest thing happen at the range yesterday, finished off one box and opened another of the same brand and bullet and couldn't hit shit with the rounds out of the second box. Rifle is a Tikka T3 CTR 6.5 Creedmoor in a Cadex...

What he said. Shot my Tikka in the factory plastic stock a few times while I was waiting on the chassis to come in and w/o the brake it jumped around too much and wasn't fun, after the hellfire, much better.

No, it's not mirage and yes I can adjust it out. The first 10 shots of the day is barely warm, not near hot enough to cause mirage in the scope.

Anyone else having issues with Monox ZP5 not holding the parallax adjustment? I was starting to think it was me but during the last 2 range trips I've noticed I've had to reset the parallax a couple of times. I can get the image crystal clear then 10 shots or so later it gets slightly blurry...

Like new set of Seekins 34mm xtra high (1.26") rings. Mounted my Minox on my new Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor for the few months it was in the factory stock. When I switched to the Cadex chassis the rings were a tad low so I went with MDT Premier 1.5" rings. Other than the torn shrink wrap you'd never...

Careful. It's been discovered that many women can count....

I use the paste tubes like this, drag the edge of the screw across, doesn't drip or get any place you don't want it.

For a nice deer gun Tikka T3X gets my vote. It's fairly light in the factory stock and accurate enough that if you miss a deer it's you not the rifle. Distance you expect to shoot will determine caliber, inside 800 6.5 CM with a good soft point should get the job done.
