Well Merry Christmas to me, my Ruckus showed up and should be in my hands in a week. BIG kudos to Defiance for getting it done, I know they had some loooong build times. Stay safe troops.
If anyone is interested? they can reach out to Stan @

I just ordered the Auto Tricker cover, great guy to deal with & the cover is "anti static" as well
Cheers.
I think what matters is once the scope is in the rings and attached to the base, that you level the action and then the reticle? You can use the underside of the scope? however I prefer to level the reticle.
I couldn't agree more, I have one and it's great, and takes alot of the "frustration" out of leveling a scope, for me it's because sometimes I can be too "fussy".
I'm kinda in the same position as you, I have a couple of standard calibers, .223, .308 & 300WM. I building a 6.5PRC on a Defiance Ruckus action, with an IBI barrel and KMW stock. The 6.5PRC will fit that "short action magnum" niche I'm looking for. I did consider a 300PRC, however my 300WM is...
I hope that my Ruckus is getting built this month? (y)🤞🙏, we use the Ruckus for our sniper rifle builds and it's just a well built action. Great company
I picked up a Wera torque driver on Ebay, it goes from 11 to 29 inch pounds so your pretty much covered for scopes and MRDS for pistols. Great quality IMO.
OK, good info, so without the PVS, 1.125" should be fine, my boss is using those & the height seems fine. Thanks for the info, I like to try new things or products. I like Nightforce & I'm happy to spend my $ with them. Cheers
BTW, I'm just curious about your choice of rings? & height? I'm using one your stocks 🙂👍, & I usually opt for Badger M40A rings , however this being somewhat of a "compact" scope, I'm thinking maybe going with Nightforce 1"-mediun? or the 1.125" height?
Thanks troops, I think based on my "hands on" and the comments above, the 4X16X42 is the winner, with the Mil-R reticle. I usually run Badger M40 rings, however my boss is using NIghtforce with his scope and I always have an open mind? What's the consensus these days on NIghtforce rings both the...
Thanks for the replies, so I see my shooting being between the 400-700 yard mark. Comparing prices on the 16 & 20, the 20 is about $800 more, so I'll be staying with the 16. On the subject of objective size, I have always gravitated towards a "larger" tube for light etc, however I do have both...
So I'm in the process of putting together a 6.5PRC with a 24" barrel for a intermediate range hunting and target rifle. I have a couple of Steiner M series scopes in the 3X18 and 5X25 magnification range. This time I'm going with a Nightforce scope, I've handled a few and decided based on that...
