I am out and about right now. I'll take care of payment when I get back to the House. I assume, maybe incorrectly, that PayPal works for you.

It's a personal thing..... look through both, and if possible shoot with both before you buy. I have two F1 ATACR's (5-25 and 7-35) and an older NXS and am very happy with them. I also have a MK5 5-25X56... I like it too. I had a chance to shoot an NX8 4-32 at a local range.... I did not care...
Look at Stiener Military-Marine 8X30. You can generally find them for under $300. They are set up with the Stiener "Sport Focus".... focus once for your eyes and forget it. Glass is very good for the price point. Light weight and comfortable to use for hours at a time.
Alex Hamilton is truly one of the greats! I have been taking things to him for over 20 years (local for me)... he has always met my expectations for what I considered very reasonable prices. I don't know how much longer he will keep going.... he is probably 7-10 years older than I am... and...
I am on my 7th CBI barrel. 3 are Remage configuration and 4 are Savage small shank configurations. Chambered in a mix of 6.5CM, .308 and 300WM. All are sub MOA Shooters and I can't shoot up to the quality of the last 6.5CM or .308 without a sled. 😀
I'm not sure this guy is serious.... I made multiple trade offers, sent pictures, answered questions and offered to pay asking price for powder if trades did not appeal to him.... all the same day as my post above (Wednesday of last week). I've heard nothing but crickets since. He was on the...
Obviously nothing has changed in your rifle. What AMP is claiming (and it seems to be born out in my limited experience) is that the shoulder setback that your sizing die achieves will be more consistent and predictable since the springback tendency in the brass will be the same no matter how...
I agree. AMP even includes a statement with their annealer recommending a reset of your sizing die because spring back will be reduced/eliminated if you anneal before each loading.
My LMSS2.... the top rail came with the scope - the two side rails came from Derek (derek1ee). I did not really "need" both side rails but the scope seemed imbalanced without the second rail.... I blame it on OCD 😀. The rails have been finished in Graphite Black type C Cerakote.
