My FFP XTR2 1-8x is daylight bright from what I've seen. The glass also seems clear as all hell, and the circle in the reticle is big enough to see at 1x. It's a great optic, I love it more each time I shoot it. I've only had it a few weeks, but I'm happy with the purchase, I scored it cheap...

Another pic of this babe from the range this weekend. She is running like a champ.

Maybe too soon for this but... Instead of loading dummy rounds into your mags, you could just get an early generation Nucleus action and the light strikes will replicate dummy rounds in your mags! Haha, just joking before the "haven't had any light strikes with #85 pound spring yet" comments...

I think most people use .002" under loaded neck diameter. Some others probably use .001" under loaded neck diameter. Those are probably the two most common options.

I can neither confirm nor deny this. The truth is that I ordered all the components for my build and put it together myself. The ejection port on the Manners stock did not line up nicely with the ejection port of the TL3 (even tho I specified the TL3 inlet) and the barrel channel was not even...

I would agree with that for sure. My precision rifle is in a Manners T4A with mini-chassis, and I originally went with the mini-chassis for the modularity aspect, but i very quickly realized I just wanted it bedded, so I sent it off for a skim. In hindsight, I would have been better off not...

Just built a 18" multi-purpose "battle rifle" AR and put a Triggertech Competition in it. Love the TT in my bolt gun, so I figured I'd try it in an AR. Didn't need a sub-1lb pull, didn't desire adjustability. The 3.5 lb total 2-stage pull feels amazing. First stage is light but gives good...

Seriously? If you do some research you will find that the above posters are correct in saying that an aluminum chassis is not meant to be bedded. That does not mean there is nothing to gain from bedding a chassis. Depending on the design of the chassis (v-block, roller, cylindrical, etc) and...

I think many here would agree that you should do load development in whichever position/setup you consider to be your "best" or most consistent shooting position. In this way you remove as much shooter error as possible from your testing. I used to do my development from a bench with front and...

Have you compared the XTR2 to the Bushnell SMRS 1-8.5? Honestly, right after I bought my XTR2 I saw that Camera Land also had the Bushy's for sale, a bit cheaper than the XTR2, and I kinda started second guessing my purchase. The Bushnell has a true Mil-scale reticle which seems nice, but the...

So I went with Ilya's LPVO recommendation for an 18" AR build I just put together, and put a XTR2 1-8x24 FFP on it. I snagged it at a good sale price from Camera Land; I thought to myself "If Ilya recommends it for a $1000 price point, then at $750 I can't go wrong". Just took the rifle out to...

Yes sir, requires a left handed BCG since it ejects out the opposite side. The Young Manufacturing BCG is a real beauty.

Left-hand build here: CMT Billet Receiver Set Young Manufacturing NM BCG and JP SCS 18" Chrome-lined Criterion Hybrid Profile, rifle gas, Surefire Flash Hider Triggertech Competitive Magpul UBR stock and MOE+ grip Radian small parts Burris XTR2 1-8 FFP in a Scalarworks LEAP Just barely fit a...

Yeah its not very scientific, and even if by some trial and error you were able to "correct" some of the runout and end up with less runout than you started with - I would be concerned about stresses you just applied to the case body/neck, and how that would just be another inconsistency between...

So I didn't really read all the instructions fully... but it seems you use that "tool" to literally bend the case neck/bullet into alignment with the case body? Lol.
