FYI, optics planet has these scopes on sale right now. Until the end of the month you can use code JANEND for an extra 9% off. Came out to just a touch over $1k w/ shipping and tax.

I see they’re drastically marked down - didn’t see if Trijicon is discontinuing or updating and OP needs to purge current inventory for the new models?

If you have a 20MOA rail like most long range guys are using then it is ABOSOLUTELY necessary to make sure the reticle is not only plumb to the scope base/turret and the Earth by using a plumb bob, but also to the gun or whatever device that has elevation built into it.

This is incorrect (or unknowingly misleading)

The presence of a canted rail has no affect on how the scope should/shouldn't be level with the rifle

Just for the occasional measurement and maybe 1 in 10 stages where you may not have time to dial. Would be just fine without a tree 95% of the time, and even when you do "need" it, you could probably do without it.

My newest competition based optic has no tree, it's a TT 7-35 jtac reticle. It's an amazing scope optically and the tangibles are quite good too. The reticle is very thin and pretty much useless below 10x, I traditionally run 18-22X in matches anymore. There has been one stage in the last 9 matches I've shot where dialing wasn't an option, yes my tree scope helped there. I'm still certain I would have acquired all of near all the points without a tree.

Drove 1450 miles with my gun and Tenmile just laying across the back seat, no case. Then 50 miles down some trash super bumpy roads. Didn’t even shoot when I got to the hunt. First bullet out of it at 605 yards was about perfect. Quartering to me and I was slightly higher in elevation.

And the second bullet out of it later that evening, after way more super bumpy roads, was 472 yards. Another just about perfect shot. This scope is very reliable and I have nothing but good things to say about it.

You are not praised enough for being a phenomenal shot as measured by real-world first-round impacts on steel and animals. The performance you achieve is what most hunters believe they can accomplish but seldom can. Congratulations on your competence, which I'm sure is hard won.

I appreciate that J! I just try to stack the odds in my favor with high BC bullets going fast, legit zeros on my rifles, good confirmed data at long range, plenty of range time, and good stable shooting positions in the field.
This was the setup for the shots. I pack a 4oz rear bag everywhere. No reason to compromise a shooting position if you don't have to.

I have certainly missed a few shots as well. I've missed a buck at 940 yards and one at 840 yards. Both follow up shots lead to killing both bucks. I took both of those initial shots with full confidence also though. So it certainly happens, especially as the range gets extended and even the smallest things start to compound.
