Thank you to all of you for sharing your experience and information. I am going to give on a try.
Regarding the fom, is there a noticable difference from say an 1800 to one that is 2000?
So bottom line would you buy it again or look at something else? If you ran it on an ar10or 15 platform (collapsable stock) would the focus issue be less of a pita?
I currently have a 14 and a couple good illuminators but would kind of like to try something to increase the range.
Thanks for...
Thinking hard about one of these. Question to those of you you picked one up, are you happy with it? Would you buy it again or go with something else?
Thanks
With a 6x47 I had quarter to golf ball size exits on whitetails if you shoot behind the shoulder. Range was 250-525 yards. Shoulder hits do not exit. works great on yotes
18" with 75 Amax's at 3040 via 8208, lapua brass, also have one that is a 20" same speed, I would not do a 20" again, I would stick with the 18"
Had a 22" for a while too, shot the best at 3050, I could get 3100 but it shot much better at 3050.
I've seen enough razors fail at shoots to know I want nothing to do with them. I have been a fan of the 5-25 scmidt's but after using the NF beast I have started switching over to them, in fact I traded you p123 a Schmidt for a beast. You all can buy whatever, I was just giving some...
In my opinion the choice is very simple. Go with the Beast. Look at the track record of Nightforce versus the track record of vortex. All sorts of people are happy with vortex as they have great cs. Why would I want to put my money into a company that sure seems to have a LOT of failures...
I would do a 300 wsm any day before a 308. I ran a 22" 300, 208's at 2815 fps. Barrel life should be between 4-5000 rounds. You can run 190's in the 29-3000fps range if you want more speed. They are very easy to load for, the brass is very stong and will last until you lose it, just remember...
Thank you too Brian, Keye, DR, Simon and all the RO's who took their time to help run this match so smoothly. You all did a great job. The match was very well thought out and provided a wide range of shooting opportunities. I had a blast. I am hoping this becomes a yearly event. Also Thank...
It'll work with H1000 however you may not have the case capacity to hit pressure before you have a very compressed load. I used to shoot a lot of R19 with 208's out of a 22" wsm. H4831 works well too.
Look at the number of people who have had to send in their scope for repair. I guarantee you more people have sent in vortex than nightforce. 15x is plenty for a 6.5cm Buy the nightforce f1, it is a great scope.
I have run two different 6x47 barrels at 22" 3k with 105's will not be an issue and your brass will last you until you loose it, or shoot the barrel out. Seems to be a good node with this case and 105's around 3030, you can go over 3100 but there is really no need. I did a 25" 6x47 on my last...
