    Bergara Rifles Pictures Thread *include specifics*

    Love it so far... Waited quite a long time to get one and they flew off the shelves when they first became available. Nice clear glass with great illuminated reticle , firm clicks on the turret with zero stops, first focal plane and tracks accurately, great amount of adjustment range... I...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR

    Okay, finally mounted the ETR (mil version) on my Bergara BMP 6.5 Creedmoor. Striving to optimize the ETR for around 1000 yards, I employed the following: Seekins rail with 20 MOA cant and a 1.18" high Spuhr mount which has 20.6 MOA cant for a total of 40.6 MOA (11.8 mils) of cant. This gives...

    Regarding scope ring heights, I've found this calculator to be pretty helpful in the past, if nothing else, to just spot check my calculations / logic, etc... http://www.mil-rad.com/scope_ring_calculator Cheers,

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR

    Straight out of the box and after mounting to my rifle, what I did was twist the turret all the way down until it stopped and then reversed direction counting the clicks until it stopped again... BTW, I've never tried this exercise before; I was just curious to see if it matched up to the specs...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR

    Quick question and apologies if it's a dumb one but I just counted the total number of elevation clicks possible on my ETR Mil version and it came to around 250 / .1 mil clicks (249 actually). This equates to around 25 mils of elevation adjustment from top to bottom of available range. Seems...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR

    Just took a peek and there are some in stock at a 'very large, well-known online retailer'... I got my ETR from them out the door brand new for < $1000... I prefer however, to support our Forum Sponsors whenever possible...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR

    Yes, I should have been more clear; I was referring to the mount height, which is 1.18" (Spuhr says 30mm) and not the size of the rings which are 34mm in my case... Sorry for any confusion.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR

    My scope shipped out today and due in next Tuesday. I ordered a Spuhr 30mm/1.18" 20MOA unimount for it to be mounted atop a Seekins 20MOA rail; I calculated it should still have enough room for some flip caps, we'll see...

    Very nice! I have a Patriot Valley 'Shockwave' on my Bergara BMP 6.5 and wow, it sure does make a difference. PVA makes some great and effective brakes; very easy to install and time as well...

    Great feedback, thanks. Yes, I can see what you are saying about the level; looks like the Spuhr may have the same problem with that setup as well since it's about in the same place. Do you have any cant in the base in addition to the 20MOA in the mount? Cheers, CP

    Bergara Rifles Pictures Thread *include specifics*

    Hi there, nice looking rig! Couple of questions: 1) How are you liking the RRS mount? Can you compare against Spuhr? 2) How much cant (if any) do you have in your mount? 3) What height mount are you using? Thanks in advance, CP

    Thanks... Can I ask what height rings you used with your setup? Thanks again...

    Nice! Waiting for my ETR to put on my Bergara B-14 BMP 6.5 CM; looking like maybe towards the end of Sept at this point... Quick question, how much extra cant did you add to either the base or the mount or both; looks like a decent amount from the pics? Since the ETR has around 110 MOA / 32...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR

    Well, I've owned a number of BMW's over the last 35 years and actually still have one so I can say from experience that their quality is definitely not the same as it used to be... On the other hand, my 'beater' Toyota Land Cruiser with over 275,000 miles on it is still running like a champ...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR

    Curious if anyone has any feedback on how the Ares ETR compares with a Steiner T5Xi 5-25 as I've seen them come down in price to around the $1450 range or so... Thx in advance. CP
