I was worried about this... but IMO it's a non issue - just slap on a 20 MOA rail... the tenmile has a little more throw then the specs say... I get between 51-55 MOA on both mine and even planning on the "low side" of 50 MOA, get's me to ~ 1400-1500 with the 6.5 PRC and ~1500-1600 with my 7 PRC.
I'm already debating buying a 2nd one and the first one hasn't even shown up yet!
If you don't want the added weight of a 20moa rail, DNZ now has their game reaper 1 piece mounts in a 20moa style... probably adds a 10th of an ounce. About 3.2 oz total. Or mountain tactical has their raptor, also a 20moa 1 piece. I think about 3.7oz total.
. Love this simple little unit. 
Who super fluted that barrel???544 yards. 2.4 Mils. Piece of cake with the trijicon

Benchmark did the fluting themselves.
Interesting. I actually assumed that’s who did it. Viewing posts on here it “seems” he’s willing to flute more aggressively than most.
Good to know! Thank you. I just order them fluted and they show up fluted haha. So I figured they did them in house.
These flutes definitely are aggressive. I’ve ordered several spiral fluted barrel from bug holes also. And these flutes seem to be wider and deeper. I haven’t measured either of them independently though. Barrel is a #5 contour and a tack driver though. I have a bunch of #6 spiral fluted barrels on order now. That’s a good contour.
I mean….maybe wait till after shot show. Prices on these dropped a lot lately. Makes me feel like maybe making room for updates…..
I just got one of the D18 factory profiled fluted tikkas and measured it. Very close to benchmark #5 (.85 at 6” and .735” at 24”). It’s exactly 3lb.
The new maven rs 1.2 2.5-15
They just introduced a new Tenmile HX 5-25x50 FFP with a more simplified reticle, more akin to the reticle in the Credo line. Certainly could be something know coming with these being so heavily discounted. On the flip side for sub $900 this scope is a steal. Proven to be reliable, track & RTZ. The reticle has its pros & cons, it does have the option to use holdovers for both elevation and wind. Sure it is a bit fine but the red/greed illumination is very well done. With the illumination available I can't think of a scenario where this scope would not work well.
Because you shoot a 6.5 manbun?
The maven
not saying the trijicon isn’t a great option. Great price right now too. I’ve shot both and just prefer the mavens reticle. I also have 15-18mils of travel left with sportsmatch rings, depending on the rifle it’s sitting on.
