Is the front cap still on? If removed, do you still see that?

Looks like Ruger released another one...

Does the AT-ONE not already have metal pillars? The MTR stock does. As well as a recoil lug at the rear of the action that's so loose I doubt it does much... But it's there.

The ProVarmint has a more vertical grip, a notch on the bottom of the stock, and two studs on the forend (sling + bipod). I don't shoot PRS or NRL22, but I can image those features being more desirable. It's cheaper as well, which frees up a few more bucks so you can afford the pimpin deal on...

They're good. I'd use them again.

Elevation is the Achilles heel of that scope. I had to get creative with a sloped base + signature zee rings to squeeze every last bit of elevation out of mine.

I use a ProShot 20 cal rod.

Picked mine up this morning. Rings should arrive today. Ruger demonstrates the proper way to install a bipod stud. I wish CZ would go this route, especially since they're all about nice wood.

Very nice. The ring height is perfect.

Spin and/or slightly wiggle the brass in the gauge until you've obtained the smallest reading. Also, pinch directly on the blades to close the calipers tighter. On my cheap calipers I get some flex (variance) if I use too much force on the wheel.

There's also 30 moa of slant you'll have to consider. Would you mind following up with your results using those 0.90" rings? That's a good reference to have.

My Lee dies require more pampering to prevent surface rust. There isn't a lot of effort spent on the exterior finish, who cares. The interior polish of the Lee FL sizing die is downright incredibly good. Think smoother operating. Their bullet seating die uses an o-ring to make up for loosely cut...

I just switched to ultrasonic for this, and other reasons. I can't be inspecting every case like a peasant! :p I guess we'll see if the brass even looks remotely as good. But I'm prepared for a reduction in performance.

Also Johnny's Reloading Bench (another YouTube channel) is currently in the process of working through various 308 loads. Good stuff!

For me it's like this... There is a chance not all factory loads will chamber, or might chamber the bullet in the lands, in a CLE match chamber. If you're only shooting factory ammo, why mess with it? Get the Wylde, as it's still really good. If you're shooting reloads and factory ammo, still...

That context helps, as it sounds like your reloading hobby is out of necessity... I'd recommend the Forster Benchrest Full Length Die Set. The set can be had for under $100. Forster makes very nice dies. Accuracy wise, you won't be leaving much on the table. You'll still have the option to...

I like Ramshot TAC for 77's at mag length, and I like Varget for 80's loaded long.

I agree completely. He should be okay at 20 moa though (5.8 MRAD). And if he's shooting at distance often, it'll keep him in that visual sweet spot out further.

Better to have the extra elevation and not need it. Also, check out the Burris XTR Signature rings. They're typically under $100, and they use polymer inserts to offset your optic from 0 to 40 moa, in 5 moa increments. Added bonus, the polymer inserts grip like crazy and won't leave marks on...

May depend on the amount of recoil. I've heard of the big magnum rifles needing a little help to prevent scope slipping. There was actually just a thread on this.
