I have thought about a 1-8 for a while, and finally put one on a bolt 450 bushmaster. Really think that it works great, albeit I don't have any hunting experience with that scope yet. I do have a couple NX* 2.5x20's and absolutely love the versatility of them. Shooting 600-900 yards and will...
I just sold my Magview and bought the Ollin, which is superior in my opinion. The Magview I struggled to get the picture lined up, and the Ollin just snapped right into place, never had an issue. I would definitely buy the Ollin over the Magview or any other adapter, I've used the Phone Scope...

Just curious if you have seen some of the kills with an 8.6 Blackout and solid bullets out of the 103 twist? Pretty impressive rotation in those where the petals on the bullet are actually turned 90* to the body of the bullet.
yes, at that velocity, my 16" 6.5 Creedmoor with the 1-7 twist MV is 2494. which puts it at 256,525 RPM. Not really sure what you are getting at, my statement was the difference in my rifle and an advertised 6.5 PRC. Using bonded, or solid bullets at faster twist rates is necessary. That...
That is true, doing the math on the difference of my 16' 6.5 Creed, and a 6.5 PRC is 14,195 rpm. Now cut down that 6.5 PRC to 18" and the rpm is almost identical to my shorty 6.5 Creed. I'd be interested in seeing some comparisons on actual animal kills, seeing what a bit more velocity does...
Check out the Q podcast with Kevin Brittingham. His 8.6 blackout is shooting 300g solid coppers in a 1-3 twist barrel. The animals he has killed with it, in subsonic and supersonic is impressive. I think that he said they are spinning around 500k rpm. If you look at his Fix in 6.5 Creed, it...
Look at a 7 prc. the newer cartridges have better performing bullets, pretty accurate for factory ammo as well. The older classic cartridge choices are all good, but if you are going to buy something specific for this hunt, I would want something that is inherently accurate, and if you...
