Also want to say that these matches are a blast!
Each match has its own nuances. In Oklahoma, I shot prone and off tripod a lot. At the Idaho match I was rested on rocks and maybe used my tripod twice.
Here's a pic front the final match in ID. You can see the pop up tent for one stage...
I still have the Burris, but the ADM mount is in use.
Excellent scope for $600; if it were mils I'd keep it, and probaly wouldn't sell for even $700, just switching completely to mils.
I do have venmo now too. $600 net to me paypal or venmo.
I agree with others, I've killed several whitetails with 140 eldm's. But I do want to throw out that the terminal ascent you mentioned is one badass projectile. I've haven't shot a bunch in 6.5, but I have in 308. It's super tough and holds together up close, but shoots great long range. I have...
23" on my 375 H&H, I'm happy with it
I get 2770 with 260gr accubonds - that was above 90* so I'll chrono again when it's colder, but still happy with it.
I haven't listened to this in a long time, but it has some of the best info I've ever seen in one place on shipping ammo/firearms.

Tally LWs (extended) fit that scope on my model 70 375 H&H and that's about as long as it gets. Not much room to spare, but they did fit. The standard LWs would not.
I wouldn't hesitate to use an aluminum rail and the Hawkins lightweights as mentioned above.
Double Gripper
Priced to move, $90 net to me, paypal or Venmo.
Like new, still in the original box with instructions.
I used it at the range two times I believe. Never taken on a hunt.
Yessir!
one thing I miss about my vortex razor was that I could dial the turret to 0.4 mils and then lock it there if hunting. I'm sure there are others that do that, but I haven't seen them.
I have two APRs, and two other Remingtons that APR has done work on. You won't be disappointed!
I have a 6.5CM that is just like their altitude, it was an early run with their APR Hunter action instead of the Anti, but that's the only difference. The very first time I shot it I shot 4 groups...
