    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST G2 FFP 5x25 vs. others

    McMillian: good question/thought, 300-1300 yards regularly, steel, non hunting, non competition. Couple of times a year 1 mile. 6.5 CM, so need the internal elevation and stata. Used 18x on my mile shot, to get to combined 89 MOA due to temp and up angle of the target.

    Bergara HMR B14 Wilderness 6.5CM. Not a bad shooter

    I have a HMR in 22-250, .25MOA, last month, took it to a long range facility, starting hitting 600, 700, 800 and thought, Im going for a 1000. Yes, hit 1000 yards, 3 shoot, 55 gr V-Max (no wind was blowing) Bergara is the finest factory rifle being produced today in my opinion.

    Bergara HMR B14 Wilderness 6.5CM. Not a bad shooter

    Bergara B-14 HMR in 22-250 is the finest production rifle I have ever owned. Shoots .25 MOA. Last week hit for first time 1 mile with my RPR 6.5CM which is a good rifle, but I was more excited about hitting 1000 yards with the Bergara 22-250 with a 55 gr V-Max.
