    I had thought this was just hyperbole. You'd listed it up on the PX for $300+

    KRG Echo Chassis

    I've looked into it as well. KRG's polymer compound is just heavy. It's just about invincible, and it comes with a weight cost.

    Point of reference: These are uncropped, and representative of what the sight picture will look like to your eyes size wise. This difference in size is what I notice every time I look through a USO FDN vs other scopes, especially MK5s.

    Anyone using USOptics?

    I've had five FDNs and still have 3. To my eyes they resolve targets a smidge better than my ATACR 7-35 at distance. My only complaints I can come up with are: The 25x has a tight eyebox (52mm objective). Less of an issue with the 17x. The 25x minimum parallax is 75yds The turrets are difficult...

    So the wide should fit a CTR/Varmint barrel?

    Latest in binos with a reticle?

    Oh my Glory... Doug I'll be giving you call about these soon. I like the reticle, I like the price, and I'd rather go Athlon than Bushnell because stupid arbitrary decisions.

    Could have a slightly different optical design too. They were tanks.

    Don't worry, you can't improve on perfection.

    Latest in binos with a reticle?

    I had a pair of Steiner M1050Rs, and the FOV was tight. Nearly had to have the diopter scraping my corneas, and it was a small FOV. Decent reticle though.

    Team matches 2024 near NC

    Heck, we need a super thread for all team matches anywhere. I want to see more of them in general.

    Apex optics has a 12x. The reticle is a bit thick compared with the Bushys though.

    Dangit. I was hoping for a carbon fiber X-Ray rear.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    My 18" Grendel gets 2485 with 123 Scenars and 28gr 8208 XBR. I get some slight pressure marks on the brass, but nothing over the top.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    I'm not sure what everyone else has in the safe, but I have a 6.5x47L bolt gun, a 6 BRA barrel for the same gun, and a .223 bolt gun as well, along with a Grendel gas gun and a .223 carbine with RDS. If I didn't have any bolt guns and wanted a small frame gas gun to take me to 1k, I'd probably...

    What are your 2024 Goals ?

    I bet my scores would be better if I wasn't always messing with stuff. This is a good goal.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    This is what I was going for, more or less. I use XBR for my grendel and for my practice 6 BRA loads too. 6 ARC is significantly more overbore than a grendel. The gas pressure impulse is going to be a bit different between the two, and a slower powder is likely pushing gas all over the place in...
