Just want to thank a few specific folks and dozens of unnamed folks here for their help, guidance, opinions, and occassional, reality checks.
First and foremost to Arctic Light (Scott) for the great trade and continued support in the optics department. Thanks also to Glen Seekins for the awesome customer service and assistance with the rings. Also thanks to Keith at Arizona Precision for the outstanding work on my bolt knob and the install of Pacific Tool and Gauge non-ISS firing pin assembly. Lastly, to all who answer the dumb questions time and time again, and keep those of us new to this obsession grounded in reality and headed on the right track, I appreciate it.
Today was the first range session. Getting the USO zeroed was a snap. About a mil low and mil and a half right out of the box. A quick adjustment and I was in business. I only fired at 100 yards working on a couple 175 SMK loads and two 155 Scenar loads. The 155's definetly look promising. The 175 SMKs were a bit opened up but I suspect I may have developed a slight flinch after having only shot my .22-250 for the last 6 months. More time behind the .30 will resolve this issue.
The rig is a .308 VSF LH with a LTR barrel, Badger 20 MOA Base trimmed down to right at the lug, Seekings Medium Rings, USO ST10 Ergo, EREK, mil / mil with GAP reticle, AZ Precision Varminter Knob, Pacific Tool and Gauge firing pin assembly.
