Trying to figure out if I want to spend the $850 to re-barrel a tikka to 6cm. Assuming only factory ammo, have you got a sense of what the maximum engagement distance is vs a .243, both at 18”?

Drew,
Go back into your ballistic solver and use your known 700 yard elevation correction along with the atmospherics at the time, and “true” the profile using muzzle velocity until it lines up. Now you have a curve that should be accurate enough.
By manipulating the atmospherics in your...
This is essentially what I’ve been looking for in an LPVO. Option to dial without unscrewing caps, and a useful reticle whether I dial or not. Many LPVO reticles are set up to actively punish dialing since their primary aiming point isn’t given appropriately spaced wind mildots. I was going to...
What I like about the SWFA fixed 10:
1) Known good
2) Simple
3) Good match of power and reticle design
4) Light
5) Inexpensive
What I dislike about it:
1) FOV even at 300 meters is too small for my liking. Makes me nervous, less about spotting impacts and more about tracking animal movement...
Gracias. What are the chances I could convince Leica to throw a mil reticle in the 15x geovid Rs? I hate having no reference for windage corrections when spotting. If wishes were fishes, my partner could hand me a phone/range card and with ranging 15s and a reticle I’d be done in a single optic...
Let’s say I forget about the vectors plus booster for a moment. I keep my revics on my chest.
What’s the cost/weight/effectiveness nexus for one more piece of glass that will be used for spotting and extended glassing? Is it a set of 14-18x alpha binoculars (meostar 15)? A spotter with a...
I never noticed glass issues with the Revics in competition, but they have been substantially bothersome as a primary hunting optic this season. I need to get my hands on the Vectors. The siren song of range+data+reticle+enhancers in terms of its impact on my overall gear footprint (binos, big...
Do you have a smaller rifle yet? Like a bolt 6 or a bolt 22 of some flavor? I wouldn't want to hunt with anything larger than a 6.5PRC for game within 600 yards.
