The scope is one of the Vortex Viper 30 mm tube 6.5-20x44 which Doug got in for a ('Fire special) a couple years back
Shooting with RJM on Saturday. I zeroed the rifle at 300 yd with wind blowing about 15 to 20 mph coming from the right and behind us.

with 720 mm of zoom
and I caught a break in the wind.
Aim point was the red dot. Drop is 22 inches at 500. group measures 3.75 inches across. The load is a 130 AB at 3300 fps over 71 gr of magnum and a CCI 250 primer.
