New Rifle Inbound: Barrett MRAD

[glock_nor_cal]

After a year saving up, I’ve got a new rifle on the way: Barrett MRAD in 6.5 Creedmoor. This is gonna be my first nice precision rifle (I used to have a RPR) . I need to buy glass for it and cool guy YouTubers are convincing me to get a scope in Mils vs. the MOA I’m used to (I understand there will be a learning curve) I’m considering a Night Force 7-35X ATACR w/ Tremor 3 reticle. Are there any other optics I should I be considering? I’m willing to buy once/ cry once. Currently I can shoot out to 850, with plans to find a farther range area. I plan to add the 300 Norma barrel down the line. Thanks guys.

Just get a ZCO. If your set on Nightforce, get the MIL-XT

I might get a Vortex Razor Gen III 6-36x. On sale now at EuroOptic for about 3k. Perhaps a bit better if you're a vet. If money weren't a problem a S&B 3-27.

A lot of guys have had great luck with nightforce. Im not one of those guys. They've only ever given me aggravation.

That's a heavy rifle for 6.5. Start thinking what you want for your heavy hitting caliber.

Congrats on getting the MRAD! If it were me, I'd happily put a NF, Zeiss, ZCO, on it.

+1 switch to mils and get FFP. If you go with NF, I like their Mil xt. Tremor reticle would probably confuse you. It’s too busy for me.

With mils, in 6.5cm, you’ll get past 1k yards on the first rotation.
