    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST GII 2.5-10x32

    Has anyone actually weighed one of these? The advertised weight of 26.3oz seems rather high for the size of the scope, is it actually correct?

    Rifle Scopes Mk6 3-18x44 - overview and tracking test

    I bought a Mark 6 3-18x44 with the M5C2 turrets and TMR reticle. Here's a short overview of the features of the scope, and an admittedly, obviously, poorly designed and executed tracking test that nonetheless was rather illuminating.

    I started working up some handloads for the new Hornady 147gr 6.5mm ELD-M in my .260 Sako 85. I say "new" because we only just got them here in New Zealand last week. Here's the initial results (and some other stuff): https://youtu.be/xBg7rO9gWi0
