If this is in the wrong section on the site please forgive me.
I am about to acquire a GAP FBI HRT rifle with about 1100rds through it. I know there are a few hide members out there with this rifle and I am starting to gather information since I am fairly new to the bolt gun community.
My first question is regarding optics (since I won't have one upon picking mine up). I was looking at Nightforce in the 5.5-22x50 Zero-stop with the Velocity 1000 reticle. Does anyone have this optic and could you give me some pointers on positives and negatives over some others available like S&B, or Premier?
Secondly, I will be hand loading ammo for this rifle, and if any of you have any good recipes I could start with to try and dial in peak performance I would appreciate it.
Again I'm just now dipping my toes in the water of precision shooting so forgive me if I'm not 100% sure about where to post or what questions to ask.
