    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor feedback

    Now that the "new" has rubbed off, those of you with Vortex Razor's (5-20) please chime in. Are you still happy with them? How are they holding up? Customer service still great? Scopes still tracking true? Glass on par with the price tag? I'm going to be picking up a scope in the $2000+ range...

    Building matching 260's to shoot 140 VLD's fed from AI mags. Wondering if someone has one they would be willing to rent out. My smith has an opening to get my friend's and my rifles done after 9 months of waiting, but the PT&G reamers are six weeks out. The reamer will be used by a competent...

    My smith is starting on my 260 build (finally!!) and I have a last minute question. I plan to use 140 VLD's exclusively, AI mags, 1:8 twist Krieger. What chamber reamer should we use to effectively shoot the 140 VLD's while staying within mag length for AI mags? I tried a search and came up...

I am still working out my handloads, so 400 yards is the furthest I have pushed it. I have not used it to range...
