Excited for upcomming Canadian build

As tempting as it could be,
My 175 SMKs have proven 25 rounds (split into 5 groups) in a row @200 sub 1/2 moa in that barrel.
Plus Jerry sells me them cheaper than any other retailer.
So yeah, there is better than Sierra out there for sure,
But for the price/availability/performance ratio, they keep my shooting at under 1$ a round for match ammo.

Everything is torqued up and ready to go.
Scope height has gone up 1/8'' compared to Savage, and velocities should technically be the same.
Can't wait to see if A. my loads still holds the ground (if not it will be easy to find as it will be around my previous sweet spot), and B. If my drops will be somewhat affected or not by scope height change.
Another thing, the ultimatum sits lower in the ESS than a savage 10, had to grind sling stud swivel screw protruding, as my barrel was sitting on it. Good thing I noticed, as it was barely making contact, and could of scratched my head troubleshooting inconsistencies.
This is clear I am taking some time off work to try this this week, it's a slow week at the shop anyhow.

Awesome build, congratulations! So how long until you cave in for a Tangent Theta? I say 12 months. In the meantime, enjoy that rifle!
Haha don't tempt me!
Going TT scope with cadex bipod and cadex unimount would truly be a patriotic build.
I know my Razor ain't the best, but if a major bad luck happens at the range or in transport, they will replace it for free and i won't be out of shooting for several months.
Knowing this i will give PRS a try sooner or later, and won't fear roughing up an irreplaceable optic.

I hear you, and was only teasing, the Vortex is a great piece of glass. For an all Canadian unimount, NEAR also makes some very nice ones.
