    Would you buy this scope?

    It needs to crush the swfa 3-9 and nxs 3-15 F1 on availability, and compete with the maven rs1.2 / tenmile 3-18 on price to the consumer and availability. If it pushes up into nx8 prices the reticle needs to be thlr or something else dramatically better than milxt.

    Look for forms snow and ice testing thread, and the thread asking about who's had in the field failures, which had a bunch of r700 trigger malfunctions reported. I sold all my 700s, and strongly prefer not hunting with people who are using them because of the trigger situation.

    What cartridge should I use?

    Look into the floating connector of the walker trigger, there are lots of good resources, I've posted links to a couple over the years.

    reloading newb check list
