    Exactly. Heavy rifles need heavy scopes. Blaser/Swarovski combo = perfect.
    My left arms 100mm longer now though.

    Stug stock on the wish list.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    He's hunting in a shirt and tie because he has to work straight after the hunt to pay off the scope

    Nice scope and ok for hurried shots or didn't want to carry the other xtra gear eg rangefinder,wind/baro meter, ballistic app.

    Does anyone know if the Swarovski ballistic app works with a 300 Blackout subsonics?

    For that type of money I would rather invest in thermal scope and just use the system I'm using now a good dail up scope, rangefinder, ballistic app phone, still a lot of battery's to crap out.
    As for weight it's what your willing to carry, I'm 15kgs over weight says the doctor but still carry that easily and a Nightforce scope. I know what weight I would rather loose the one around my guts than a few hundred grams on a scope.

    That is lot of tech, dollars and weight for a 298m shot.

    Interesting to see a Gen II is out now...

    Having a Gen 1 for work, I can attest that they suck.

    Shit light transmission is gripe #1, followed by being a 1kg 40mm tube optic, then having to re-set the illumination multiple times as light conditions change, then the shitty concealed turrets, then losing zero (they make Leupold look reliable!)...

    Did I mention that I didn't pay for it either? Head office thinking was this 'super scope' would save money down the line on ammo (which is copper only ) and range time needed...

    For a scope that cost more than a full setup (think new Tikka T3, mounts, bipod, scope, and plenty ammo), I'd recommend going down that route and getting some range time instead.

    Good scope for rich fools who don't shoot much.
