Tat, how do you like that 4-16 on a .308? I have almost the same acope and debating .223 and .308 still.

Love it! I have 2 of the same scope 3rd on the way... 2 on 308 and 1 on a 6.8spc...the only one better imo is the razer, but $$$

Here it is on the 6.8spc...and yes, gas guns can be accurate. This 6.8 build holds 1/2-3/4 MOA if I do my part

*****in rig! Thanks for the deal on that 10.5 Anderson pistol with the Troy rail last weekend

No problem man, thanks for your support!

You've been waiting so long to post this

Congrats! If you ever take it down to MSCC let me know!

 

[IUprof]

Let us know how you like that XLR chassis. I've been thinking about an element myself. It looks great.

Can you take more pics of your scope? I ordered the same one the other day (backordered for a couple months but oh well)

Ive got them in stock if you want one.

Thanks Alan, but it being BO'd for a couple months helps me a bit, going to order an AR upper soon so by the time the upper is taken care of, I'll be ready for the scope.

 

[42769vette]

Understood sir. Vortex's ETA of that scope being in stock is 8-15-15 as of yesterday morning.

Sorry, I am out of town for a while so no extra pictures of the scope and I don't have any others worth posting on my phone, I also went the MOA/MOA route and can tell you that I am impressed with the scope! You won't be disappointed, I also waited a while on mine(7 weeks), but it was worth the wait.

Same scope on a Savage with LaRue rings (LaRue Tactical Ultra-Low Mount Rings QD, LT719 | LaRue Tactical). I got it from Alan a few years ago, but I don't think it's change externally.

Obviously that third ring with the bubble is used to level the scope. But how do you verify that the bubble is level in regards to the scope?

How do you like that suppressor wrap? I like the idea of cutting down on mirage, but worry it would cook the can. I guess one could always use it while you're glassing and shooting, and shuck it off afterward if you're worried about it.

I have that same stock pack and really like it, but did you paint or dye yours? It looks good, and mine is on a painted rifle as well.

I leveled the scope to the rifle using feeler gauges between the rail and the flat portion of the scope, then I hung a weighted string (plumb bob) from a tree and aligned the reticle to the string. Once that all was lined up I rotated the level till it was centered and tightened it down. There may be a better way to do it, but that's what I came up with...

It's painted, and it took the paint very well.
My single attempt at dying ACU nylon was a disaster, though it would be perfect if I ever need to conceal myself in a room full of basketballs.

Link to stock pack: BALS Mk-2, Gen 2
Wow! The price has REALLY increased!!!

Some old range day pictures of mine (left) and a friends MVPs (.223), and warming up the barrel on the M99A1 after a hibernation. Luckily my wife is deaf in one ear already from service..

I like it alot and it does help. The ones we have are made for a suppressor, so they are made of fire retardant material and they don't cook on there. Thunderbeast is who we use for em
