    Rifle Scopes S&B Klassik, VX5 or SHV 3-10?

    I snagged a 2.5-10x with Illum mildot. Whoops lol. If I could've found a 3-18 T6Xi with MSR2 for a decent price, I would have stuck that on my AT and the T6Xi on my SPR setup. Wouldn't have worried about robbing the SHV then!

    Rifle Scopes S&B Klassik, VX5 or SHV 3-10?

    Which one would you suggest? 3-12x42 or 2.5-10x56? Same reticle.

    Rifle Scopes S&B Klassik, VX5 or SHV 3-10?

    That sounds like a good improvement. I'm stuck buying used if I want one in time to practice over the summer so it's going to be older style most likely. Then again, this 7mm mag wouldn't benefit from the extra monster likely. I a weenie that probably wouldn't use the extra 1.2 lol.

    Rifle Scopes S&B Klassik, VX5 or SHV 3-10?

    According to strelok 3.5 mils will get me to 600 with a 162 BTSP. That's about as far as I could ever imagine shooting at anything with this rifle. Extra leaning to an S&B now lol.

    Those come illuminated with a side focus?

    I think I tried to buy one of yours around this time last year on the PX but I had to shift priorities before we struck a deal. If I'm remembering right we have some similar hunting situations so the vote of confidence hunting pigs towards both ends of dark with the P3L is reassuring.

    Rifle Scopes S&B Klassik, VX5 or SHV 3-10?

    I hadn't thought about that aspect. My "Main" rifle for TX is an AT with a T6XI in Mil and I definitely gravitate towards Mil. The S&B is definitely edging our the VX if I can't find a Mil TMR.

    Rifle Scopes S&B Klassik, VX5 or SHV 3-10?

    What made you get rid of them? I do love my SHV 3-10 in the SPR role, but I haven't used one side by side with a VX to compare yet. I've got a buddy with a 3-15 w/ firedot that I may need to borrow and do a comparison.

    Rifle Scopes S&B Klassik, VX5 or SHV 3-10?

    They both definitely fit the part, my idea here is definitely a dedicated hunting setup and field rifle more than anything else. Really leaning towards grabbing the S&B. Used VX5s and S&Bs are within $50-100. Thanks BTW, grabbed it in a trade for an old TA01. I had one of these same rifles but...

    Rifle Scopes S&B Klassik, VX5 or SHV 3-10?

    Just picked up this late '70s BDL 7 Mag for a sweet deal and I'm looking to add a trustworthy scope. I'm going to use it as a dedicated elk/nilgai/western rifle as well a loaner for deer here in TX. Most of my shots are sub 300, but I'd like to be able to dial or hold for 650/700 if possible...

    Accessories WTS 6 Creed AI AT/AX barrel w/brass

    Got the bug for an S&B Klassik on a hutning rifle. Need to sell some stuff to make it happen and I have this 24" FDE 6 Creed barrel I haven't gotten around to firing. has either had a thread protector or ASR brake on it since I picked it up. 5/8x24 Not sure on exact round count, I'm expecting...

    I'll have to check that out. I'm not sure what these profiles are exactly. 308 on it is an AINA, FDE 6 Creed came off a newer AX and the shortest is a 6.5 Creed from proof. Maybe I can find a takeoff in the EE and have it turned down to a shorter weight. Might look goofy as hell but it'll...

    Love those pictures and the rifle setup. What sling are you using?

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Good point about the sling. I've got just a slingster that I have used for it locally but I know for sure that won't cut it out west. I'm going to practice through the summer and maybe take it on some hikes to see what it's like to go further than 2-3 miles in a go. Also thinking about...

    Any of you fellas tote your AT for mountain hunts? I'm doing a 2nd rifle elk hunt in CO this October and even though she's a portly gal, I really want to to take my AT with 19" .308 or 24" 6mm Creed barrel. I really don't want to go spend $1800+ on a new rifle and scope for one hunt and I'm...

    Looking for 2 AW/AT or 308 AX mags. Prefer not beat up too bad, color doesn't matter too much though. Will only buy from established member with verified feedback. PP FF or Venmp preferred, cash if you're in San Antonio or Austin.

    Reloading Equipment WTT Lapua 6.5 CM SRP - Pending

    Looking to trade 100 pcs 1x fired lapua SRP for 100 pcs of .308 or 6 Creed SRP in similar condition. Bought these in a lot, so they don't come with a box. I can add some more pcs to make a deal work. I am not interested in selling these.

    Two weeks door to door for my Steiner repair, can't thank them enough - now the AT is back in action. I'll hit the range this week and test out the barrels, practice swaps and shifts and get it ready for February 'yotes and my first PRS match. I may end up tossing the 2.5-15 onto the Mk12...
