All of my anschutz’s shoot at around 1” +/-. Even with lot testing from lapua. Just the nature of the beast. The 6x5 really does separate the cherry pickers from the real potential of the rifle/ammo mix.
Grew up next to a school and used to hang deer from the school trees to skin them. Times have changed, but don’t draw attention to yourself and you will be fine. Unless you live in a state that sucks...
I finally sold me tangent theta and picked up two of these because the glass was so similar. It doesn’t always show up, but when the difference does, it is impressive. Tangent theta was the same. But I thought two for 1.
Do you typically still start with the cartridges that shoots lowest and work your way up, or do the offsets go below zero? Not sure if that makes sense, but I would rather zero with the most used cartridge rather than the lowest.
I haven’t been behind the 3-18 vortex but owned a 4.5-27 and I am very surprised that you find the eye relief and box easier to get behind then the nightforce. That would have been my whole reason for going with the nightforce. Do others feel that the vortex is easier to get behind?
I went to a flat shoe trigger on a trainer and it didn’t stay on more two times out with it. Go play with them. Such a personal preference thing. I find that curved give me more contact and that gives me more control.
I’m a fan of the vortex Diamondback 4-16 Hp with bdc because the glass is incredible, it focuses to 30 yards, the power is good inside 100 for .22 and the bdc works well in that short of a distance, unless you want turrets. Then I think the pst ii’s are very difficult to beat.
I saw the testing at eley. I have done it at lapua. Just wondering if in the wild, how they would stack up to others. Thanks for the heads up on dryfiring.
Looking seriously into one of these. The mags look great, the feeding looks nice. Are you able to dry fire these? Just waiting for someone to post up some 6x5 groups so I can decide whether to move an annie to pick one up.
Not a lot of fun. Did it when I bought my first high end optics long time ago and I am sure that it would be easier now, but at some point it is nice to not have to worry about whether you remembered to zero for the rifle.
