ATRS Modern hunter specs, pics and range reports

Ditto although I think either way its the learned skills and not so much the end result

My salf I'm a northern BC Hunter I really shoot pass 100 yards most of gun ranges don't go much past that in northern bc
But it would be good to work on reaching out to the 6.5CM point of aim I think it's just past 300 yards I would have to look it up
and my personal goal is to get to do it consently as I'm going elk hunting this year
If I can swing it I realy like to do one Alberta hunt this year ether elk , antelope or goat I have never hunted any of them yet but hope to do one
It will be a fun exercise thers no such thing as a bad day fishing ,shooting or hunting
I know a lot of you guys don't think of 300 yard shoot as long range but it is for us older bush monkeys lol

300yds is still a long bloody ways away.....I still get very intimidated when I see how far away 500, 700, 1000 yds is......then I look through one of my scopes and it's all OK again!!!!

Your MH in 6.5 or .338 will be great out to 300.

Now you gotta get some appropriate glass for those beauty rifles.....

"Sale" is a relative term.....!!!!

On if the ultra shorts, or the hunting line would be great on a MH.....

Question for Carver (or the ATRS boys) - when you swap the upper to change calibers, does the scope and rail go with it?

The scope rail is an integral part of the upper, so you can leave the optic on the upper and not have to keep re-zeroing it when that upper goes back onto the lower.

With good rings you can move the optic back and forth between uppers with little adjustment required if you record the turret location for each caliber.

I'd be getting a bobro mount if I was in your shoes Carver.....

The problem with ALL QD mount systems is that they rely on spring tension, which is never a constant, to lock the optic in place.
On conventional rings, and specifically close tolerance rings like ours, torque can be duplicated each and every time the mount is removed. The other benefit is that the optic can be placed where YOU need it, not where the mount dictates the optic will have to be placed.

I hear you, but if you're moving it back and forth between two identical upper/rail combos, then that shouldn't be an issue.

From what I've read in the AR world guys swap scope back and forth regularly with with bobro's and AD's with little to no loss of zero - at least close enough to hit the boiler room of a deer/moose at 100yds.

I agree, it's not a perfect system, but it also saves carrying a toolkit around with you all the time.

Just a simple torque driver. Vortex offers a very nice one HERE.

Damn you and your voice of reason

Now I got the thin 6.5CM barrel to replace the big heavy barrel that's on it now I will see if the nightforce SHV will work
the good news is I'm getting use to shoting sticks
How much is a set of rings that will fit Nightforce SHV?
