Vortex is a great outfit. Leupold is about as good, in my experience.
That's a fine scope. I have been daydreaming about a Ruger Precision Rifle with something very like the Viper you mounted on your Colt.
Bill,
Last weekend, after our CBA cast bullet match, we broke out other guns to play with and for the first time ever, I shot one of my buddies (yea, I have buddies, not many
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
) rifles, a Ruger Precision in 6.5 Creedmore. After purchasing the rifle, he popped the barrel off and installed an aftermarket 30" barrel. His is topped off with a $1200 Vortex that goes up to 60 power! I personally feel anything over 16 power a waste, unless your shooting 1000 meters.
Anyway, we had clay birds set on the banks from 200-500 meters. We also have permanent silhouettes at each distance that we use in practice for matches. These silhouettes are too easy to hit off the bench so we started shooting these clay birds. After EASILY hitting the clay birds at 500 meters, we started shooting at the pieces of clay birds.....easy.....easy.....
I was astounded at the accuracy of the cartridge and the rifle. Even though I don't own one ...yet...I highly recommend it.---6
