Thanks for all the input. Thinking I’ll try a 10x and see how I like it. I have a 6x on my 223, only had it a few weeks so haven’t done a lot of shooting with it but so far feel like Mayne 6-700 is what that magnification is good for. Think the 10x will be good a bit further out and still...
Considering a fixed power for my 22 creed. Looking at the SWFA 10X. Bad idea? Shots on game would/ could be from point blank (not likely) to the bullets velocity threshold which would be about 850-900 yards.
Are the 10x as reliable as the 6x?

I just upgraded phones and Strelok is no longer available… had it on the old one and can’t get it on the new. Was my go to app as well. Pretty bummed, lost all my rifle data I had stored there well. Now need to create new rifle profiles in another app. Playing with Hornady 4DOF and shooter. I...
That seems slow to me as well for that barrel length. I’m using Hybrid 100V out of a 20” barrel and getting 3020 with the 88’s. H4350 and H4831 produced similar speeds but worse grouping for me.
100 yard, 5 shot groups from last week. Knowing how the hybrid shot to start I didn’t load up 10...
Have not watched that video but a few other recent ones they did. He refers to really liking the 75-80 gr bullet weight. In the video “22 questions about the 22 creedmoor” he mentions in passing an 80 gr eldx. If I had to guess Hornady is making the eldx in some 22 cal bullets. Only a guess...
Got ya. This was a pic off their website. Appears the newer ones hove the ability to shorten the center column. How stable do you think this would be to shoot off from prone to sitting?

I have looked into that one a little. Probably be great for hunting but question how it would hold up to the off-season shooting as well, long term.

Will only be using prone with lighter recoiling rifles. Hunting and practice. Will come off to switch rifles during practice and will ride the ride during hunting season.
Hatch has been brought up a lot. Seems nice but know people who say spend your money else where. Not sure what to think...
Looking to pick up a good bipod. Looking hard at the MDT CKYE. Seems to have some really nice features and solid. Price is a deterrent though. Also looked at the Extreme Pod some, a few others as well. What are you using?

I do not have an 223 ai. I’ve thought about though. Currently running a Tikka Compact 223 with a 20” barrel. Loading 24 gr of TAC and 77’s at 2780 fps. Only gaining another 50-75 fps doesn’t make it worth it to me, yet. In reality it only gains me about 50 yards.

I’ve been contemplating this. I haven’t looked to much at it yet but think a guy could drill or dremel out some of the center metal area in the forearm area and leave the edges. Not sure how much it would save in weight or loose in rigidity.
