Already have barrel-break-in loads plotted to be also pressure-testing loads, about 70 of them with three different bullets, plus a few more.. Have abandoned my attempts to find an 'affordable' high-power* scope and ordered a Zeiss V6 5-30x50 with the simpler retical 6...

I've used Zeiss camera lenses on and off for 20 years and always loved their 'look'. I bet I'll be as impressed with this scope as I was with the 55mm/1.4 Zeiss Otus I had with my Canon EF system.

Meanwhile I'll mount my NightForce 12-42x56 BR-competition scope on it.

It's in town Saturday morn.; I actually might see it Monday!

I really like mine so far, bolt is a bit on the stiff side on mine. I also moved the thumb screws to the opposite side of the chassis so they didn't ruin the graduation marks on the posts. I also wrapped the threads on the thumb screws with a little plumbers tape so they don't come loose anymore.

[IMG][/IMG]Good decision...had mine for a few months...about 800 rounds down range.

I agree about the bolts, but found that it smoothed out nicely after a couple of hundred rounds or so.

I’m using Vitavouri N555 and Berger’s 109’s.

Are you using the MDT bag rider? I was going to order on for my Elite but I wasn't sure which model to get.

Nice; mine arrived Monday morning.. I see you have the butt weight; I haven't ordered any of that for mine.. Mine rides its inexpensive Caldwell bunnyears bag well enough for now.

Shot it yesterday and spent four hours shooting a little and cleaning a lot.. Even with a copper remover, there was always lots of copper to remove.. Was going to the other range in town today, but my powder dispenser broke.. My best bullet yesterday was the Nosler RDF105.

Is your scope a NightForce 12-42X56?
