I just went through the process of building out 3 custom rifles, all with XLR Element 4 chassis, Zermatt Origin actions, and Proof Research barrels. The 6.5CM (black camo) has a magnesium chassis. The .308 Winchester (blue camo) and .300 Winchester Magnum (tan camo) have aluminum chassis. I have each of these scopes and I'd like your input on what scope to put on what rifle. The 6.5CM is going to be my primary hunting rifle for big game. The .308 is my training rifle, is currently sitting @ 15.4 lbs. before I add weights, bipod, magazine, or bipod. I plan to use this for PRS/NRL Hunter events.. The .300WM will also be used for hunting, but not very much.
