Just got my 3rd S&B 5-45 High Power .... Previous ones are...MT .5cm LRR Reticle .
This latest one is DTII+ and .1mrad....GR2ID Reticle...
Having both the 6-36 and 10-60 S&B,s.....the 5-45 is right up there optically!!
Unlike many I prefer the old layout of separate illumination dial, and...
Over time i have had more than my fair share of expensive Alpha/Top Tier Glass fail ...
Just recently i had 2 current Top Tier optics on 2 of my Desert Tech,s go down. While still waiting for this to be resolved i decided to go the complete other end of the scale...yep....."Cheap" China...
After some feedback on what people are using . Mounts has to have at least 20moa of cant available . Fixed or QD doesn't matter.
In all the years i have been using Sphur , primarily.... I also have Era -Tac and they have been fantastic but here in Aus obtaining them is very very difficult...
After feedback ..... REAL feedback not Theoretical or "Bullshit" ..
I usually shoot out to a max of 2500mtrs with varying success, but 1500mtrs is probably the distance i shoot most.
As is usual results vary depending on your mood/mind-set and environmental conditions..
I have achieved at...
Hi
Could any US owners of the Tangent 7-35 please advise when looking through the scope at 35x as to how many mils from Reticle centre of the outer edge are visible.
Just want to compare to our "Aussie" version..
Thanks.
Been a LONG journey with getting my M3 to be a consistent slug shooter...but it is performing well now..
It is a genuine sub moa gun when conditions are good ( ie no wind) ..
Shot these this arvo....
110 yds
NSA 27.5 218" @1060fps
Main target ...6 consecutive 3 shot groups ......gentle...
Has anyone ever had this situation..
Focus optic...fire shot....focus is now Blurred ....refocus.....fire shot.....focus has drifted ( Blurred ) again..
Thanks..
Over the past months i have had many top tier optics fitted to my Desert Tech HTI.. S&B 5-25 / 3-27HP , Nightforce ATACR 7-35 , Leica 5-30 , ZCO 5-27 and 8-40 and what i thought was the top of the tree...Tangent Theta 5-25..
I had heard so much about the March Genesis 6-60 ... Superb glass and...
Just after some feedback from users of the 375 Cheytac ...what round count , barrel life have you achieved?
I currently am using a Desert tech HTI with the factory LW barrel....
I am hearing figures from as little 450 rounds to as much as 2000 rounds...??
Any feedback appreciated..
thanks.
Just applied some Gear Aid Camo form to "dress up" my HTI and S&B.. :)
Anyone used this stuff long term? It claims to leave no residue on removal...hoping this to be correct as i was planning on laving it on long term.
Any feedback appreciated..
I tried the Berger Solid VLD,s 379 and 407gr in my Desert Tech HTI 375 Cheytac..... 1 in 10.5 twist.
407,s ...absolute no go....keyhole at 100yds..
379,s shot 1/2 moa @ 100yds...1moa@500yds . But at distances in excess of 1000yds seems to be unstable.
My question.... i can get a local VLD...
Anyone used the Berger 379gr and 407gr Match Solids in the Desert Tech HTI with its 1 in 10.5 twist?
Took a punt and purchased a large quantity of these as 375 projectiles are VERY scarce here in Aus.
Have conflicting info/opinion on whether the 1 in 10.5 twist may or may not be fast...
Magic day here in Victoria, Australia today.....
A friend of mine had a very serious accident on a lathe a few months ago...almost severed his left arm .. he is recovering extremely well .
Today he got back in the swing of things and shot my Unique Alpine TPG-1 in 308win out to...
Perfect weather wise here in AUS , today a good excuse for some long range fun.
Myself and friend decided on some Sako TRG action at 1500mtrs.
My mate has his TR42 338Lap and i have the baby brother TRG22 in 6.5CM . The 338Lap is using 300gr Scenars and the 6.5 Creedmoor 140VLD Berger,s
Scopes...
I have been looking for something to replace my old Nightforce NSX 5.5-22-56 on my TRG in 6.5 Creedmoor.
I have on other rifles an S&B 12.5 -50-56 PMII, S&B 5-25-56 PMII , S&B 4-16-50 PMII, March 5-50-56 Tactical, Leupold Mk6 3-18-44 for comparisons ...... I was tempted to go for another S&B but...
After spending most of my time shooting an AWSM .338 Lapua and after using my friends TRG 42 in 338 Lapua i thought id jump and get a TRG 22 In 6.5 Creedmoor.
The TRG rifles for me are much easier to shoot than the AI....So a "baby" TRG in 6.5 is even more a pleasure to shoot.
The TRG is...
