Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Building a new rifle need some advice

Hey y'all, I'm screwing an unfired 6.5 creedmoor CTR barrel on my tikka action and adding a KRG Bravo chassis. I've played around at 1000 yds with my previous stock tikka T3 lite many times and had a bunch of fun. The biggest problem I encountered was my fixed 10 power SS scope I have was lacking in spotting hits at 1000 yds. Basically I was playing on the cheap and couldn't really justify spending the dollars for a more expensive scope. Since I'm making an upgrade I'm now ready to spend some money on some glass.

So, what scopes have you guys used that will spot hits with a 6.5 sized bullet at 1000 yds? What bullets have you had the best results with? I always liked the 147 eld. I'm looking to enter a few competitions just for fun so I am willing to spend whatever it takes to do so in a realistic way.

Thank you kindly and your welcome in advance

IME, a 10x works` just fine.

What kind of back stop?

Shoot with a spotter behind you.

What type of competition?

Spotting hits and misses really depends on having the right steel/paint and the right background. The 10x SS is enough to spot hits and misses. If looking for more, the LRHS2, SS 5-20x, or DMR3 would by my choices, depending on the application. The NF ATACR 4-16x or 5-25x would be a contender, too, depending on budget and application.

The scope I use is a spotting scope. Mine is a Swarovski but any brand from Kowa, Leica, etc will be fine.

Even on a higher mag variable I find myself down at 10-12x more often than not once the mirage comes up.

Target set up and back drop start getting more important the further out you go as well.

I rather enjoy how "REAL" the Delusions are,to her. Hint.

I'm joining up with the NW Montana 1000 yd club. I'll be shooting IBS thousand yard competitions. That's where I want to start. It'll be a lot of fun and a learning experience. I've been asked to join for a few years now and finally going to do it purely for the association. I also prefer to not be a "big stick" in the mud continually bregging but refusing to quantify my skill level.....Pun intended! The reason I'm second guessing scope selection is because I spend a lot of time practicing alone without a spotter and for some reason have had a touph time spotting for myself. Perhaps a different scope will help maybe not

Thanks for taking an interest Jordan its much appreciated my friend

Ive always stuck with lower power scopes to negate the mirage and have had great results. I could see myself with some alpha glass running it on 10 power the entire time. I shoot alone a fair amount of time so often don't have a spotter. For this reason I'm thinking of upgrading glass since I struggle to spot for myself. Might be an unrealistic approach

Trystain,

The best value for the dollar IME is Sightron SIII 6-24 or 8-32, FFP or SFP. Mount it with Burris signature XTR rings with the plastic inserts and and set it up so the travel is bottomed out just below your zero, leaving the scopes entire travel for long range shooting. I have at least 10 of these and have never had a single issue tracking out past a mile.

THAT ain't happenin' either. Hint.

I thought you "shoot them all, and don't have to guess." Were you lying then, or are you lying now about Sightron?? LOL.

slums,

I musta' "missed" where same was "lauded"...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint.

Bless your heart for "living" so very vicariously. HINT.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!................

Oh, so you use "dog schit junk" scopes?

Hint
Pretend
Congrats?
Laughing.

Are you a bot? Cause your repeated act lost any originality the same time you stopped lauding Leopold and the 30stw!

Look, I know you're stuck, cause if you admit SIII's are solid scopes, especially for the $, you're admitting I was right all along and you were just guessing when you called them "dog schit". But, if you still say they're "dog schit" now, you'll be lying and anyone who has actually used an SIII will know your opinion doesn't mean squat.

Let me guess your reply -

Horned up
Imagination
Congrats?

slums,

I've only got 100's and 100's of scopes and I get it,that (3) is a LOT to you and your ilk...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

I musta' missed it,how many times a day do you think about me,on the "average"? Is it in your latest Hurt Feelers Report? Hint.
