    Gunsmithing Help with making a dummy round.

    ogonzalez, In my 284 on a long action and my 7 RM, the 175 elite hunters and 180 seem to be interchangable. I just subbed the 175's in for the 180's using all the 180 data and BTO length and they appear to shoot the same.....not saying this optimizes the 175 only saying it was one easy...

    Rifle Scopes long range hunting scope

    the trade off I see here is "light wt" vs great twilight performance, turrets, 30mm and a large objective are going to have some weight. perhaps even oversize your 600. Bushy LRHS would fit. good glass, dead nuts on tracking and smaller size. not so great on the low light. not crappy but...
