I use the Accurate Mag 3.850" mag in my LA Bravo (ultra-mag). I must have gotten lucky, plopped right in and feeds just fine. Still, good info to keep in the back of my head.

So are both of mine, they work just fine. Not that there's anything wrong with MILs, just my preference.
There's nothing wrong with having him grab a Tikka in 6.5 or 308, either one is quite capable. Now 6.5PRC.... yes, please.

I'll put in another vote for the 127LRX in your 6.5. Even with a stubby, you should be able to crank them up to a respectable velocity. I've killed a lot of critters with Barnes bullets & "guided" a lot more. At the ranges stated, I can't think of anything that will work better.

I really like the Meopta Optika 6 3-18x. The Burris XTR II you noted is a really decent scope, very durable. But there is a good number of reports of gents getting them with sub par glass. I've been told this has been fixed...?
For the money, i'd pick up a Burris XTR III 3.3-18 in MOA...
That wait time sucks, hopefully it was a fluke. My OG XTR elevation turret wore out to the point it would actually rotate under recoil. I had it back, repaired, in about 2wks.

Back in the day (2010-ish?) McRee was one of the only LH/LA chassis' that I could find. I spoke with Scott personally several times before pulling the trigger, he never pressured me & seemed genuinely happy to speak to a potential customer.
I ran that chassis on my 338RUM for a long time &...
@JINKSTER I completely get where you're coming from & I probably should have clarified why I don't care for BDC reticles. I actually started long range shooting with a Leupold Varmint Hunter reticle & it worked, kinda.
The BDC would probably work decently for the rifle & have in mind for a...
