I use $75 Amazon scopes for target practice.
No they are not mounted to my gun. I hang them on the plate rack at 1000 and shoot them with my $3,000 scope.
I have a shooting buddy that loves the Federal 142 match load. Both the Hornady 130s and the Federal 142s shoot about .6 out of my factory 20 inch Tikka. The problem I had was that I couldnt get over 2600 FPS with either load.
Perfect now I just have to begin the couple weeks of wait time for it to get here. I'm going to play with it and if I need to I'll order the reducing inserts
Well I ordered the full kit this morning. Plus the 419 base and the new powder cup they are making. Spending this much on a scale is nuts but hey you only live once.
