Just landed via Kelly Country

Seriously cool scope to top the fierce fury carbon in .300PRC

Have to say i really rate this scope - plenty of features small package.

Unfortunately the rifle is still a while away!

They are very cool and compact. I am waiting for them to come out in SFP

Once you have one in ffp you wouldn't go back to sfp.
It's just about sucking up and doing it

It's pretty hard for an old codger with a cupboard full of rifles to justify any new scope let alone and expensive one. I fortune does smile on me however it will be definitely be a first focal plane scope with mrad based reticle and adjustments. Can't see any point in getting a fancy reticle and then knee capping it by putting it in the second focal plane.

Need a fresh bowl of popcorn - bk in 5

When the image and reticle are moving left ,the impacts are moving right, and vice versa. That is with pretty much every scope

That does annoy me when you assume image moving, and shift the image left but what you end up with is the impacts moving further right! Ahh the joys of RO duty...

Greetings Mauser 308,
Part of my preference for mrad based reticles and adjustments is that I work, as far as possible, in metric. For practical reasons I still weigh powder in grains and the chronograph is set in feet per second but drop charts and cartridge measurements are all metric. Most of my scopes have MoA adjustments and two fixed power scopes have Mil Dot reticles. I don't do dial up as current long range shots are non existent (and the in past as well to be honest). I would just like to have a bit of hold over capacity for mid range shots should any present themselves (unlikely but we still hope).
Regards Grandpamac.

Got a photo with the scope mounted?
