Albroswift Posted September 5, 2018 Report Posted September 5, 2018 New optics on my (B)AR, not a 308 and not an AR. BUT, cool rifle nonetheless. 338 Win Mag / Viper 6-24 x 50 HS-T Alignment and lapping the new rings Found a set of mounts with an offset rear, perfect fit for the Vortex Medium ring height Off to the range this weekend. Should be an upgrade from the Leupold VXII 3-9 x 40 Kevin Knight's brake job. Lots of practice makes perfect!
Robocop1051 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Posted September 5, 2018 I don’t know what to be more scared of... the girth if the scope, or the length of the barrel??? It’s like monster sized fetish porn!!! the polish on the brake is beautiful
survivalshop Posted September 5, 2018 Report Posted September 5, 2018 The shear mass of that Scope/Rings may be an issue with the puny Mounts on recoil of the 338Win Mag, wow ! Hope it stays on the Rifle .?
Albroswift Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Posted September 5, 2018 Like having a spotting scope right on the rifle. What can I say, my eyes ain't what they use to be. We have a similar weight scope/ mount / rings on a 300 Weatherby Mag been holding zero for 70-80 rounds so I am optimistic this will work out. Not like you would want to shoot 100 rounds a week out of one of these anyway...

Magwa Posted September 6, 2018 Report Posted September 6, 2018 Great scope I have the same one on my 6.5 Creedmore...that 338 kills on both ends....lol have fun nice setup
COBrien Posted September 6, 2018 Report Posted September 6, 2018 Barrel so long and scope so fat you can't get the whole rifle in one pic...

After all the autos we picked up a Sharps today, shooting consistent 9 rings and clipping the bull at 100 yards, (until our shoulders turned black and blue) better then the group next to us with scoped black guns at the 50 yard berm. Never shot a set trigger before, you're about halfway through thinking about squeezing and the bullet has left the barrel...

Albroswift Posted September 9, 2018 Author Report Posted September 9, 2018 Not sure if there is a autoloading sporter shooting a heavier caliber.
Albroswift Posted September 9, 2018 Author Report Posted September 9, 2018 Under 8 inches correction at 300 yards, point blank on elk sized critters

DAMN! the Barnes X claimes a BC of .432 but if I use the 0, 20, and 80 yard average from the Labradar and the 100-200 yard drop I get a bit less, so I used that number in the ballistic calculator. Need to do some further testing at longer range to confirm. Then all I need is a lot of luck, and a cooperative critter...
