What reticle?

Sorry I forgot. I added on my post. I went with H2CMR

 

[skypilot]

I pulled the trigger. I decided to go with S&B 5-25×56 PM II/LP H2CMR 1CM CCW DT/ST ZS LT MTC. This will go with Sphur unimount 0 mil.

Both of them will go on my FN SPR A5M XP 20" barrel that also comes with 20 MOA rail and Harris bipod.

I am super excited to put them together and shoot it!

I think you will be pleased. As I posted earlier, the H2CMR reticle looks better in real life than the illustration.

Congrats on a fine purchase and post some thoughts after you get it.

Good for you man....enjoy. You researched and bought what you felt was best for you. You'll have no regrets.

 

[bacardi]

alright here you go! Mounted on Spuhr mount

 

[Tomochan]

Outstanding choice and an excellent mounting system.

 

[marcoman]

I recommend you don't forward load your bipod.

 

[Gunneegoogoo]

It took me a minute to figure out why, but marco-polo-man is right.....I also do not recommend forward loading your bipod.....!!!!

 

[Tomochan]

In case you are wondering what they are on about re the bipod, it is on back wards to the way they are usually installed..

 

[bacardi]

I think you can set it up either way, no? My set up allows me to fold the legs facing down instead of facing up toward the barrel. I like it this way better, but you are right it will be tricky to forward load the bipod. I will change it. Thanks.

If you want your bipod to fold backwards get an atlas or lra. I run my LRA folded backwards for storage cause it adds 4" to OAL and won't fit in my carbine case.

I tried Atlas and don't like it. It is not as sturdy as Harris. There is some play to it.
It is not permanent so I can always flip it forward if it works better.

 

[GreenBob]

stupid question but are you loading it properly?

google "atlas bipod loading"

I think they way they build the Atlas to allow some play. Harris is sturdy and fixed.
