I bought 2 Kahles 6-24, SMR3 reticle, LSW. Both on here. One was $1950 used but like new. Liked it so much I bought a second.

I know the ELD-m is a match bullet , not a hunting bullet, but when I did some searches quite a few said the -m also worked well on game.
I had a good load worked up for the...

If you want to move scope to anther rifle Just leave the scope in the rings, don't undo /loosen scope rings. Loosen the screws holding the rings to the Picitany only, move it to another picitany, no re- leveling, no moving scope in rings.
You can literally move it from one to another in 5-10...
