True AICS mags. I might pick up some C Products mags in the future to try out, but these ones are Accuracy International. Thanks for the info, that's longer than what I was thinking. Good to know though I have the APA bottom metal going on a 6.5x47 build. Have a good one.

Bastard! How'd you get your Atlas before me?
If I were smart enough, which apparently I'm not

Can you kiss a 105 from the mag now?

I always could. When I had the chamber reamed to AI, I specified an AM kiss at just a hair shy of mag length. Now I have room to chase lands for about 0.170", and still fit in the mag.

I think a 700 action, 24" #3 or #4ish contour throated for the AMAX at like 2.8-2.9", dropped into a Game Scout with Edge Fill, Talley's and 3.5-10 or perhaps 4.5-14x40 with M1s would be freaking stellar. Plus, you could still pack that dog around and hunt the heck out of it. This ^^^^^^

I'm thinking that rig would fit in at any Tac match, and we know how well you shoot it....

That is a sweet rig for sure!
Every time I open this thread I get flooded with ideas on how to get to something similar.
The Razor is sweet, what did you do with your PST? and why did you change?

The Razor is sweet, what did you do with your PST? and why did you change? I changed because I had a chance to get a Razor for a little more than I paid for the PST. The PST had a fleck of dust settle onto an internal lens, so I sent it back to Vortex and upgraded to the Razor. The PST was absolutely awesome mechanically, and optically it was very very good, as well. I was totally happy with it, I just wanted to upgrade. Of course 134 MOA of usable elevation doesn't hurt, either!

72 MOA takes it to a mile. The PST was able to do that with the 67 MOA available up, plus 5 MOA on the reticle. I'll zero it tomorrow, so I'll know how much "up" I've got left after that, but I'm assuming I'll zero 20 MOA below the mechanical zero, which means I'll have 87 MOA of elevation remaining. That'll get me to 1880, then it's just a matter of getting a 40 MOA base so I can get 107 MOA of "up", which takes me beyond 2000 yards. And that's about as far as I think I care to take a .243 105gr bullet

Haven't done a lot of research on this, so go easy on me. What does a 6x47 Lapua do that a 243 or 243AI doesn't? Thanks! Can't talk to you about those but I can on the 6.5x47L! It does this on a regular basis: 15 rounds from 1000 yds. with 6.5x47 Lapua by Sharps45 2 7/8, on Flickr That's from 1000 yds. This clanger is 20" diameter. Here's another from 600 on a 5" AR400 clanger: 6.5x47L by Sharps45 2 7/8, on Flickr That's ten rounds. Here's the rifle: RicksTacRifle by Sharps45 2 7/8, on Flickr
