OK, for sanity's sake I went back and checked a couple of those videos, and I stand corrected. Area 419's video called it a "Three thousand dollar tangent that's not as pretty", not a $2k Tangent. Covertnoob called it a $2500 scope. I can't remember what DLO had to say about it, because, I'm not going trawl through a 2+ hour video to find it.

Over on Reddit they were pretty big on Liberty Optics and the hype over there is still real.

In my mind it's always been about $2100 because there have been so many "30% off Vortex MAP at Eurooptic" certs on prize tables in 2022 and 2023, and that's where most of the guys I know who have been using Razors have been getting them.

Thanks for calling me out.

I just wanted the information corrected, it's been a lie that's been repeated for years... I don't know much, but what I do know I know well - Richard

What the hell was I shooting in matches from 2017-2020 then? lol Seriously though the straight contour barrels did start hitting around then and then started taking off around 2022 or so but plenty of PRS specific rifles in the early days. Here’s 2017 in a match.

Not sure why everyone is so worried about prefits on a Rimfire though. Yes on a centerfire where you burn a barrel out in 2-3000 rounds but in a Rimfire where you will shoot over 100,000 rounds and spend over $20,000 in ammo to even be close to burning it out it’s not as big of a deal at least for me.

We individually made stuff work back then. A 100-yard shot was a long poke with big targets. Now, if you do your part, you can buy a barreled action, chassis, trigger, and your choice of optics and go straight to the podium.

Today our Dr. found two more tumors. More surgery next week.

What a beautiful loving face!
Prayers that Drs. get the tumors removed and she has a full and complete recovery and is able to enjoy many more years with her loving family!

Subject line says it. Looking at a 223 build and no upper-end brass available anymore. What are people using these days?

Are you using it in a bolt gun or gasser? I definitely would not run Lapua in a gas gun, I would stick with Starline or LC. But for a bolt gun, run the best you can find.

I never go off the MSRP for Vortex unless calculating the gov pricing which did pring the price down to lower in the $2kish range as everyone knows., MAP price is $2,999.99 then and now. You're being too literal about it being the ~$2kish Tangent that you are referring to. $2kish is a range of $2,000 to $2,999.99. I'm not saying I saw every video, but I've seen many as this is kind of what we do. I'm not in this world casually and I have a pretty good memory (Not Rainman level lol)

Details matter

Okay, I'll try that. Thanks!!

You mention money, spend, value etc over 25 times in three post. Your lone comment regarding accuracy is “good enough”

Pretty much sums up your focus to me.

List updated. Would also consider trades for 105/109 bergers. 80.5 bergers, 308 10 round metal mags. Also could use TT diamond flat shoe

I have Harris, atlas cal, ckye, and tbac.

My favorite is the TBAC. The legs fold out without having to push any buttons, just like the Harris. The legs extend with the push of a button, like the Harris but the big difference is the legs are under spring pressure the entire travel. So if you partially extend the legs, then need to extend them more you push the button and the spring pushes the leg out more. In use during a stage if I don’t have my bipod set at the right right to start I just tilt the rifle to unload the leg and push the button and the leg shoots out.

My complaint with the TBAC is my ideal height most of the time is right between full extension without the leg extenders, or full collapse with the leg extensions. For matches that are not on flat ranges and you are having to shoot up hill the bipod doesn’t have enough adjustment range and is too short in my opinion.

The ckye pod is nice because all of the adjustments but that’s also is down side, so many adjustments and buttons. For ranges with up and down shots I prefer the ckye pod. I have the PRS version and wish I had bought the standard height version. I have run out of elevation at matches in the mountains. For flat ranges it’s good but on flat ranges I prefer the tbac.

The cal is a good bipod but I never use it anymore in matches because it’s slow and cumbersome to adjust height, deploy/store legs. It is used on my kids rifles.

For matches the tbac stays on the rifle and the Ckye pod is in the bag for the few times it’s come in handy and in all honesty, whenever I try to game a prop with the Ckye pod I probably would have been better to just run a bag or the tbac than trying to game it.

Got the barrels I needed, just looking for a Lapua bolt now.

Sends to the single target view on the 901 or only in the target list view? Do you have to quick edit the dof field or does it come in any time you range a target?

I never use good enough in the same sentence with accuracy.

You focus on money as I focus on accuracy results.

Prefits are for you!

My vectors send the DOF.

Never seen a website launch without issues. Give them a bit but email or call them with your issues. Seems they are working through it.

Really hope they arent doing that "peak pricing" BS though...that would be a hard no for me.

AN/PVS-10 eBay $4000. Titled as a .50BMG version, but this is for the M24 in 8.5X. There were some scopes made for the Barrett M82/M107 in I think 12.5X.
