I'll be testing the rifle, the cartridge, and the scope all at once. Shout out to Leupold, and GA Precision for the trust in letting me evaluate this new scope.... FWIW, my opinion will be honest, and on point. Last edited by scenarshooter; 02/05/21. Luck....is the residue of design...

Long time back I had a couple of slow twist 22 Dashers running 40 BT's at 4200. Great on hides, 300 and in. My current 22x47 Lapua with 80 VLD's at 3370 is a little tough on fur. I've got an old box of Berger 52's I've been tempted to play with next. I suppose if that's a work tool, dead first, hides 2nd.

The barrel is a CW Bartlein, 1-6.5, #4 @ 16". Luck....is the residue of design...

Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.
