Those are 1" tubes. Is that what you got?

10-4, thanks

I’m having a hard time deciding between the VX6 or a Swaro Z5

Don’t believe I’ll ever shoot further than 500 yards with it so leaning Swaro and just holding even though it’s not much holding in all honesty.

Bought a 300 rum that’s getting a VX6 with the cds dual and a TMOA reticle for reaching out and touching stuff

$700 for the 3-15 is a dang good deal!
I have one on my 7mm-08 and it's a good scope... I was initially hesitant about the BDC reticle (Rapid Z 600) but I like it OK and it's easy to understand.
I have a dope chart for zoom settings and my holds are good based on that. Depending on your ballistics you may or may not be using max magnification. Since the max has to correspond to flat, fast trajectories, the slower and more arching your ballistics, the further from max you'll be. I'm pushing a 162gr. pill at 2,500 fps in my 7mm-08 and I'll probably be shooting at 11.5X based on the chart I worked up.
139gr. pills in the 2,850 range get me to max for some conditions.
You can also use it as a more "normal" BDC reticle by basing your dope chart on max magnification, just the 4, 5, & 6 hashes aren't going to be 400, 500 & 600 yards, which is fine too.
I'm going to West Texas on an Auodad hunt this weekend and may take an alternate dope chart to use max magnification... we'll see. The idea just occurred to me while writing this post.

I too was looking at the Swarovski Z5. Heard after the 500 yard ring on the BT scopes there was hardly any elevation left.

I wound up going with the Zeiss V6 Conquest in 5-30x50. I will then get the Kenton Industries turrets for it once I get my build from APR.

Gonna be a long wait until June.

Hi Robert, do you guys built Left handed guns at all? What if I provide a left handed action? Not talking in regards to this deal.

May want to send him a PM.

That’s another option I’ve thought about doing

Just got mine ordered

6.5 Creedmoor
22" barrel
Ratchet flutes
black, brown, and off white ambush camo
burnt bronze action and barrel

I really was leaning more towards 6.5-284 or 6.5 PRC when I called, but for my goals for this rifle and wanting to keep the barrel at 22" to run suppressed, 6.5 Creedmor will do all I need it to do and then some.....can't wait to get my hands on it and get my 1000 yd range built to have some fun.

A 1000 yard range you say...? Hello, my name is Craig and I have an addiction...

Sounds like a good build and good choice for the barrel length.

[Wall_Hanger]

I too can’t help on the 300 but Robert built me a 240 wby and it’s a hammer!

I have always wanted a 240 wby. How does it perform at range?
