Good Morning Wanted to post my experience on the Burris XTR3i (5.5x30x56 MOA) purchased to replace my PST G2 5x25, looking to get a step up in optics quality…. . After an unsuccessful sight in due to a broken (from factory) elevation turret screw, I returned to Burris for the warranty work and...

Thinking of going to different caliber from my 6.5CM for 1760 to 2400 yds. Taken the 6.5CM to a mile but it seems to be optimized 1500 yds. Lots of good information and recommendations for 7mm, 30 cal and 338 and even larger here in the ELR section. What has been bugging me is and my...

Looking at a new rifle & scope to push to 2400 yds. I am currently using a Bergara 6.5CM with a Vortex PST G2 5x25 FFP This scope works fine up to about 1400 yards but at a mile and more very difficult to see the target….blurred, not much light, etc. I am looking for feedback on: 1. What zoom...

Hello All, Trying to push my Bergara 6.5CM past 1 mile. The range I am shooting at has up to 2400 yds. Tried 1975 yds but as expected difficult to see the splashes of the misses. Techancially a 6.5CM can do ELR but it seems more optimized for 1400-1500 yds. Plus the MOA come up past a mile...

Yesterday went to SpearPoint Ranch to stretch out our shooting distances. I was able to compare optical quality at 1400 yd, 1760 yd and 1975 yd between my Vortex PST G2 5x25 FFP my buddies Arken SH 6x24 FFP and his NightForce NXS 5.5x22 SFP. My observations (my opinion only) of all 3 scopes at...

Getting ready to replace PST Gen 2 with Tract Toric 4.5x30 56 and want to ask if anyone has feed back on this Toric scope? Researched many of competing scopes: MK5, Cronus, Rzr, XTRIII, T5XI, and the Toric seems to keep bubbling to the top. How is the glass quality at distance? How is the...

Good evening: Getting ready to upgrade from my current PST GII 5x25 FFP MOA on my Bergara Wilderness Terrain 6.5CM. Was set on a Steiner T5xi 5x25 but then Leupold released the Mark 5HD with the new PR-2 Christmas Tree style reticle. Leaning towards purchasing it over the Steiner. Steiner I...

Good Evening: I got GAS ( Gun Acquisition Syndrome)! Looking to add a third truck gun to the fleet. Hoping Howa will release a mini action in 20” heavy barrel 6mm ARC. Since I have time before I can get the rifle or Ammo, researching optics. Wanting zero stop, locking turrets, MOA, max...

Last month, I did a 1 mile shot with 6.5 CM and Vortex PST G2. Noticed past 900 yards the Vortex picture was not clear or crisp and was dark. Was a struggle to acquire the target at a mile but managed to do the shot. I have noticed the PST G2 is really not that crisp/clear at my normal 600...

Hello Having discussions with shooting buddies on bullet arc, arc when past the target and ricohet. Hopefully my questions make sense. When shooting past ELR yards, any thoughts on the actual bullet angle when it impacts the target? For example, using ballistic AE, 300 Win Mag, 29.92, 59.9...
