    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    Scope mfg’s should design a scope that works well on its own. If you want to augment it with RDS, go for it. And there’s a million scopes to choose from that are good for medium to higher magnification that could,pair with RDS for CQB/quick acquisition. The appeal and desire of a legit 2-12...

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    Nah, it’s just an early report with a single reticle that doesn’t make sense for this scope. There’s no way Steiner doesnt offer the same reticle from the MOA version in the MIL version. Most people here will buy that, even if it isn’t “perfect”.

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    Maybe you’re right. I don’t know. The objective is quick acquisition at 2X but not to have a thick circle obscuring the target at 12X. I’m sure there’s a middle ground here. The SWFA looks good to me. Just change the mil hash reticle to be a little thinner and precise at 12x, maybe add a few...

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    Because the MPVO is bridging the gap between LPVO and HPVO I think a reticle that also takes elements from both would be the most useful. A reticle that offers some quick acquisition, isn’t too busy, but also provides some wind and elevation holds when at or near max magnification. One idea...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4HD

    I’m interested in the 8-32 but haven’t seen any available yet. Maybe they’re the last to be released into the wild? May opt for the Steiner T6Xi 5-30 instead.

    Scope Options with a set of criteria

    Tagging in. So what was the final outcome? Lots of good advice given. I would add the venerable Vortex AMG as a more budget friendly option. You can find them $1400-1650 used. They are lighter than most. Lots of bang for the buck.

    SOLD FS: New Proof SS Comp Contour prefit barrel, 6.5 Creed for TL3/Origin (reduced)

    Thanks for the clarification. I had read Solus take Origin barrels but didn’t realize they have a fixed lug.

    I am keeping the JP chassis for now. New Proof barrel is still for sale. Will save you some money.

    SOLD FS: New Proof SS Comp Contour prefit barrel, 6.5 Creed for TL3/Origin (reduced)

    Make me an offer on either one. New Proof Barrel, prefit for Zermatt Bighorn TL3 and Origin actions. I believe this fits an AeroPrecision Solus, same as an Origin, with a 0.150 recoil lug. I have both, 0.150” adn0.250”. Great chassis also. I’m just moving out of the heavy rifle game and into...

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    I agree On #3. As is shooting offhand and using a sling. As for #2, interesting idea, make your gun safe a place to store radios and other key electronics and get it properly grounded. and all I wanted to do was discuss a small subset of scopes, lol…

    6x47 Lapua

    Cortina also said some of the 6x47 reamers were for tight necks. He said many were for 0.272-0.273, IIRC and he used a 0.275 neck.

    6x47 Lapua

    It might be at the lower speeds those powders are only filling the case 85-90% leaving an air gap under the bullet. What I do is run QLoad (or GRT) for a lower pressure, like 50-55kPSI and powders that have at least a 95% case capacity for that bullet.

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    If S really does HTF, I plan to pool together resources with neighbors and family. Most of my neighbors are veterans like me. We have people in medical professions, construction, electronics and communication, police. I think we would barricade the entrance, set up some comms, start a watch...

    Thanks. And I bet you haven’t regretted that decision even once. 👍.

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    Digger - there was real value in your 19m statement. Would like to know who and how they came up with that. Very interesting. The rest was a series of straw man arguments. I didn’t say anything about staying in the city. I don’t live in one or suburbia for that matter. I also said nothing about...

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    W54 I agree with most of what you said and don’t think my OP disagrees much. But studies of actual civil unrest situations indicate more 50-150 yd engagements than 10-25 yds. But I agree handgun is the tool for those CQB situations. This leads me even more in the direction of a scope that...
