The Gen III was awesome at sub $2K but now with their crazy price increase I don’t know.
I really enjoy the NF 7-35 but I DO NOT like the 12 Mil turrets. Shooting centerfire not that big of a deal but rimfire and you end up all jacked up.
It is a crazy day when the NF can be had for probably...
You can find a CZ Custom shadow for probably a grand. I paid $950 for mine like 8 years ago.
I’d like a shadow 2 but I shooty shadow for fun and carry a decked out P01.
I would actually go lower and see about a slower node from 2750-2820
And your speeds are smoking on the top end. When I was shooting 6.5 creed with a 26” barrel I was dumping 42.3 of H4350 and still below 2850.
Vortex is making all their money back from when the dude ran off with everyone’s money and they honored his selling price or delivered scopes he didn’t.
I called it way back then that nothing is free and just out of the kindness of their hearts lol.
If they would make the NF 7-35 with 10 mil turrets I believe that would be just about perfect price per performance.
Shooting centerfire the 12 mil turrets are not that bad but when shooting rimfire they suck balls and screw you all trying to count your dope.
Son with that being said Gen III...
Keep shooting and do not clean the barrel. Only clean the chamber. Let it lead and carbon up.
Also SK standard + is about the cheapest mostly accurate ammo I’d run. Then SK LR and Lapua LR will shrink those groups about half.
Buy you some SK standard + and see what it does.
If your still using pins your missing out. Stainless chips are the way to go but yea I have been wet tumbling my entire reloading journey probably 15 years now and never an issue.
What to do with aging parents. Get the absolute largest life insurance policy you can on them so you’re not stuck with all the debt. Since your the oldest that will fall on you.
Two box of Jiffy, butter innthe bottom of a pre heated cast iron. Thays about as real as it gets for me but damn it’s good. I too will put it in a cup with milk.
I also use a traeger… shoot 6GT. I’m proper gay anyway.
