looks good, what scope are you going with?

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

I've had a Super Sniper that I'm gonna get on it initially, after a few days of OT, you'll probably be hearing from me. I want to see what the noise is all about with these Vortex Scopes.

Tons of load development, then I'm hoping this fall to take a few days off and head up north to get my long range dope on this and my 308 bolt.

best way to find out is to come over for a range day

Looks great, I decided to get an 18 in barrel on the soon to come Grendel but I am also putting a 2.5-10 vortex viper on it. I don't plan to do much shooting beyond 750 yards.

6.5 ROCKS. It's the one new cartridge that actually has me excited. I've seen it do amazing things.

This cartridge has me excited as well, hopefully I can have a good review after my mount and ammo gets here.

You will like the Vortex optics. Every time I use mine I am more impressed with it. I have the PST 4-16X50 and I have not treated it kindly in the least. It is dead nuts repeatable and it does everything it is supposed to do just like it is supposed to do. My days a spending serous money for Leupold's are over now. After all you can buy a scope for just over 1/2 the Leupold price that does everything just as well and some things better.

BTW your upper looks pretty cool.

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

Almost there.

 

[malern28us]

Almost there.

Thats a very nice looking rifle you have there. Congrats

 

[42769vette]

Almost there.

looks good, let me know what your thinking on the scope
