Looks very well built. I will uptate here when i get it all mounted up.

I was excited to get this and have had alot of people express interest in seeing how it turns out and works

So I did an Unboxing video

Got it all mounted up. Between the already low cheek weld and the high base i decided to build a adjustable cheek rest. hopefully i get some time tomorrow to shoot it :bthumb:

Of course that's everyone's first question.
The mount has integrated into it, 'adjustable' MOA. So one is not limited to the MOA up adjustments of your scope.

What about being user friendly & comfortable to shoot ? Forget about cheek weld on the stock, even chin weld would be difficult without the high cheekpiece that is illustrated. It detracts from the appearance of a nice rifle. Just my .02:D

At our club we shoot metallic pig targets at 200m. Most shooters use Burris Signature rings with a +20moa insert on the rear & a -20moa insert 0n the front ring this gives us all the scope adjustment required.

I'm not saying the OP has the wrong setup it is just that it seems to be over kill to me. :)

I did not say it was the perfect set up did I? :confused:
 
Went shooting today, the new target is fun, Hit the small one a few times, the bigger one is not as hard to hit as i thought it would be. it was fun. I have the VGM set up to hold right on at 500 yards. works great!

How much/often did you hit the 14" target? I was getting a 12" gong and was wondering if that would be too small at 500y with my 22lr.
 
You could probably acheive the same results just using the mil-dots, and some experimenting for a couple hours at the range....

icedragonmx I had a 30 inch target and was hitting that 8 and 9 out of 10 times, 14 is alot harder. Today i spent more time playing with the new mount then trying to get consistant hits on the 14 inch target, I think 12 inch target would be very challenging.

Brutus I like CCI SV and Blazers. they seem to work the best for me


Hitzy not sure what your saying?
