Sounds like the one I'm looking for. I appreciate the info!

I like it! Is the glass worth the money in your opinion? Also looking hard at the swarovski X5i.

Some of what I don't like about the scope may not be a problem for someone else. I don't like the ffp, on 25x the cross hairs are huge. It could use more eye relief especially on a 300rum with no brake. But the main issue is the glass has a hard time comparing to scopes that are half the price. My vx-6 is close and in some conditions maybe a little better.

The ATACR 5-25x56Fl

I had planned on loading the 212 eld-x but haven't been able to find them yet. I couldn't be happier with the job PCR did. I just wish I would have taken a little more time finding a scope, the Nightforce isn't what I had hoped for.

Awesome groups! Pcr just finished a 300 rum for me. Really hoping it shoots like that.

I bought my swaros from flagstaff sportsman's. They let me take both pair outside on a tripod to compare.

I wouldn't say there is a huge difference. The biggest difference I saw was it was a little harder for me to get the ziess in focus. I liked the swaro's enough to spend the extra money, but can't say I would have been dissatisfied with the ziess.

Flagstaff sportsman's had some Nosler brass for 22-250 last weekend.

You can bet it will be a sloppy mess with the rain its getting today.

Nosler lists data for the 30 Nosler in the new #8 manuel. I would bet they announce it at shot show in a couple months.

Might try a different bullet weight. My 30-06 won't shoot 180s under about 1.5", 165s are inside a dime.

Thanks for the help guys! I kept the Bartlein, picked up a Timney 510, a Wyatt box, and PTG ss bottom metal. All got dropped off to Phoenix Custom Guns. Also ordered a McMillan tac hunter stock.

So I ordered a .308 29" 6r varmint contour Brux barrel for a 300 rum build. It shows up today and its a bartlein 5r barrel. Should I send it back or just use the barrel they sent.

That's exactly what he told me.

I always forgot my pillow too. Now I always leave one rolled up in my sleeping bag.

I hadn't either. Just what the guy from bugholes told me. I was originally going to order a 5r barrel from Rock Creek, but the smith recommended the Brux or a Krieger and not 5r.

I have a vx6 3-18x44 on my 270 wsm. I didn't get the custom turrets, I just use the moa. I haven't had any tracking issues or any problems with the scope at all. The glass is a little disappointing, side by side I can't tell the difference between the vx6 or my vx3. If it were me I would go vx3, or step up to the ziess hd5.

I wouldn't count on that barrel lasting very long. That's ok, they make brand new ones.

I would look for a bedding problem first. My 270 wsm wouldn't shoot much under 2" at 100 yds with the factory remington stock. Put a hogue pillar bedded stock on, and it groups around 1/2" at 100. I will usually put 60 rounds through it in around 2 hrs. and it still shoots around 1/2".

Of the two you listed I would pick the accubond. I shoot the 130 swift scirocco and the 129 barnes lrx out of my 270 wsm and would highly recommend either.

Same thing happened to my minox 15x58's one of the barrels came loose from the body. Sent them to minox and they fixed them for free no questions asked.

I load the barnes 250 gr ttsx in my h&h. Would be very comfortable out to 600 yds on an elk.

I spent two seasons in sitka and hiked all over those mountains. Never found a blacktail shed but it was probably the most beautiful place I've been.

Yes remington has a factory load. I reload my own and have used it on several coues bucks out to 500 yds. All fell where they stood and had very little meat damage.
