One has to be really careful with MEK. Working with that as an ink thinner it really can eat into plastics and rubbers.

I completely agree. Whether the individual is to be believed or not should not be the takeaway from this discussion. It should be the expectations of the consumer for a reliable zero (what western hunter hasn't taken a spill on the mountain?), reliable tracking, and a useable mil hunting reticle.

Are there any options for butt pad height/cant adjustment?

We have had good experiences both with Federal Premium Trophy Copper and Barnes TTSX/LRX. We have tried the Hornady GMX but they seem to be less consistent. No experience with the Nosler E-tips.

As fall hunting season approaches I am looking forward to seeing more examples of performance on game. Definitely appreciate @coldboremiracle sharing the bullets damage on the vitals (rather than pretty mushroomed bullets). On paper definitely seems like it would give additional confidence at...

If you are recoil sensitive then the ultralight will make it worse as well. You can add a couple lbs or a muzzle brake/suppressor but ultralight and shootability typically do not go together (choose one or the other). I think a good compromise would be a Tikka Lite/Superlite.

I think this is the same preconception people have with Vortex and their budget scopes versus the Razors. On paper the XTR III seems to check all of the boxes and the XTR II has a good reliability track record but people are hesitant with the price point. This is probably why Lexus and Acura...

Get an FFL03 (Curio and Relics) and COE (Certificate of Eligibility). Will allow you to ship directly to your house. Not a lot of online sites want to deal with CA having your information on file but I have had luck with the following which have reasonable prices: Outdoor Limited Wholesale...

Looks like a Beartooth to me: https://www.beartooth-products.com/collections/comb-raising-kit-gun-cover-cheek-pad-weld-piece-riser/products/comb-raising-kit-no-loop-black

Thanks for sharing this. Do you have any suggestions on finding the sweet spot for someone who is relatively new assuming adjustable cheek height?

You might not get much of a response based on your price range. If you'd like to read more about options in a number of price ranges I suggest you go to Optics Thoughts by Ilya (@koshkin) who is respected around here for his opinion on optics: http://opticsthoughts.com/?page_id=623 If you are...

Having 3 kids myself I fully understand time being an issue. I definitely would suggest quality factory ammo and spend more time shooting. Put the money towards a class or higher quality optic you can rely on.

Thanks I hadn't noticed they added a hunting one. I'll have to take a look!

Seems like it could be a good training platform for hunting as well. Would be awesome if there were a similar set of pictures/PowerPoint/videos for hunters to practice shot placement.

I have a CTR and even with the larger OEM bolt handle I felt a significant improvement in perceived bolt lift with the Sterk swept ball.

Just factory stainless.

I unfortunately never got comfortable with the factory CTR stock. Decided to give the KRG Bravo a shot and definitely see a huge difference in ergonomics. Can't wait to shoot it!

That reticle has me interested. Definitely will be watching this to see how it pans out!

A LPVO coming with a 2" sunshade? Seems suspect.

How's the balance on the rifle? Considering something similar but was concerned about a heavier scope/front end. Does the KMW help balance it out?
