NIB $2600.

Wider field of view. More eye relief. And a better image. There is a reason it's costs 20% more its seldom you can use 60x anyway.

It's 10 oz but who's counting. Well, I guess I am. Ive shot hundreds of rounds through it. And far more than that through my STW with a VX6 and it has a much sharper recoil than the 300. I've never had a Leupold fail. I've shot 10's of thousands of rounds through various Leupolds without any failures yet so I'm not too worried about it. And no, I don't burn my barrels up. I guess you could say about any scope you haven't shot enough for it to fail yet. I was talking to a person who tests smokeless muzzleloaders about a build and he warned me about scope selection. He said a 300 gr bullet at over 3000 fps really stresses a scope. He said to make sure I put a Leupold or NF on it. I own an NXS and I by far prefer my Leupolds. There no way I'm putting a NF on a Rifles Inc Strata. I didn't buy a light weight rifle just to weigh it down. To each his own.

I have a 300 Weatherby that weighs 5lb 4oz. There's no way I'd put a 30 oz scope on it. It's has a VX6 on it. I've never had a Leupold fail me. Just lucky I guess.

Your chamber is the best headspace measurement you've got. Don't worry about it, buying a headspace kit will not help you in anyway with this. BTW the very first place brass chambers easy after resizing is almost always near that magical 0.0020" shoulder bump I would expect new brass to chamber easily. But after a stout load or 2 I'll bet it is stiff again. Unfortunately Norma is very soft brass and will exceed its elastic limits faster than most brass. Winchester and Lapua brass will be your friend. You need a SB die. Removing 0.050" off of your resizing die would likely solve your problem but I don't recommend it because of shoulder set back. Good luck.

I can't remember the last time I used this. I'm thinking it might be better with the BTX and 115mm. Absolutely perfect. I have the box but didn't take a picture. Mike Flagstaff 928.707.6327

I can't remember the last time I used it. While cleaning for pictures I created/found a faint mark on the objective. Mike Flagstaff 928.607.6327

I didn't realize that. Thank you.

The RX5000...yes, 5000 yards.

It'd be awfully hard to not by a Leupold right now. The idea of ranging and dropping a pin to OnX is pretty appealing.

I had a friend who had the same problem with his WSM. It appeared to be a minimum dimension chamber and a maximum dimension die. I told him there were two logical solutions to his delima: 1) buy a small base die 2) have a machinist remove about 0.050" off the bottom of his sizing die. He chose #2 because of expense and it solved his problem. I don't like that solution though since you can't control your shoulder bump and it will affect you case life. Good luck

If he is FL resizing (i.e. bumping the shell holder) and it is still tight in his chamber how will a head space gauge help?

OK But if $2350 is good there are lots of ways to be secure and not have to drive to Flag. enjoy your evening

It appears $2350 for NIB is too high. What price point are you hoping for? I still might sell my personal scope. free bump

Hmmm, is this a "target scope"?

I have a mint used one I'll sell you for $1950.

That sucks. With Swaro's reputation for excellence I hope this was an anomaly.

Don't ever look through a pair if you're not ready to spend a whole bunch of money. I just used mine these last few days helping a friend fill his sheep tag. They are spectacular.

IMO they blow the socks off the 15HDs. There simply isnt any comparison between the two. Lighter, brighter, smaller, bigger FOV...what's not to love. why don't you like them?
