    So if a guy had to choose.....

    I went PVA. If I didnt, it would have been a Tikka CTR in a KRG Bravo. That setup will run you about $1250 if bought right.

    Tikka T1X Chassis

    Correct. It's not a matter of fit (per KRG) it is a matter of functionality. Looking to build a training partner to my PVA JH

    Tikka T1X Chassis

    Im not sure anyone knows yet. I hope to do the same thing with the T1x in a KRG Bravo. I know KRG is curious as well

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    No, it was a question of which type/brand would be the best to buy given the number of options on the market

    Value precision rifle setup

    Really!?!? Guess I just assumed and didn't do my homework. That sucks

    Value precision rifle setup

    I like the idea of the spigot mount, and I'm in this deep so.... I had a credit so I ended up with the BT10 for $170... I'll keep it either way, and it may just end up on a Tikka T1x What is the issue with the BT10?

    Value precision rifle setup

    So, my "value" rifle is maybe not so "value" anymore... lol RIFLE = PVA J.H. (deposit) Bipod = Atlas BT10 V8 (in the mail) Rings = ARC M10 QD-L (in the safe) Optic = S&B PMII 5-25 (in the mail) Still need Comp Mags Spigot mount Dies What else? I'm in the first batch of JH orders, but i...

    Rifle Scopes S&B P4l Fine Reticle - Is it any good?

    That's it, I'm done.... $2295. Order placed. I probably could have held out and saved at least another $100 but enough of the obsessing. 5-25 PMII with a p4fine reticle MRAD CCW D/T it is.

    Rifle Scopes S&B P4l Fine Reticle - Is it any good?

    $2325 for a brand new S&B PMII P4fine FFP CCW DT MRAD or hold out for a better price?

    What is it about the H2CMR that you like over the P4LF?

    Rifle Scopes S&B P4l Fine Reticle - Is it any good?

    Well, that might seal the deal then... I have ZERO experience so frankly whatever I pick right now for a reticle might be "wrong" for me in a year or two.... with a PMII under $2400, even if I drop $500 later to go to a different reticle I'm still in an ok position. I just hate, HATE going...

    Wait, S&B will change out a reticle?!?

    Rifle Scopes S&B P4l Fine Reticle - Is it any good?

    I have never owned a "real" scope, but I'm about to pull the trigger on my first for my future PVA JH. From everything I've looked through so far, with my astigmatism looks too "busy" and I have a hard time focusing. I dont really thing a Christmas tree type reticle will work for me. On top...

    Tikka T3x A1 vs PVA John Hancock for new long range shooter

    I know what I did :) I can't offer any real advice other than I decided I would rather buy once / cry once (or in this case wait once) then to spend the money and wish I went ARC / PVA. I say that with no disrespect to Tikka, they make terrific rifles... It just seems to me that spending and...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Snob in remission

    Dear lord... I can only dream of a place to shoot like that. Here in the northeast our ranges are increasingly being surrounded by expensive homes and liberal "neighbors" that hate noise, guns, and our very existance.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T5XI 5-25x56 or Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56...

    It's not so much the warranty, it's the prospect of potentially buying someone else crap, fake, fraud, bull crap for a lot of money online. I only buy toys I can afford, but this is also stretching that... this is not an an insignificant amout of "toy" money and frankly, I want the "I dont...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T5XI 5-25x56 or Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56...

    I'm really focused on a "new" scope in the $1500 range, but the fact that there are still some S&B PMII with the P4l fine reticle out there for under $2400 in making the choice to pull the trigger on much harder. I know the answer here is going to be the Cronus or "get a used vortex" I...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T5XI 5-25x56 or Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56...

    These are two out of my final three selected as well. Interested to hear some first hand thoughts. Seems like the Cronus might have better glass, but I really like the Steiner turrets
