Hint. With a 250yd zero,the reticle alone,only gets it to the 1500yd line...though SuperSonic to 2050yds+ in this morning's atmosphere. Hint................

Have always had one 7mm RM or another in the safe. The present 7mm occupants include a Win 70 (1990s vintage) with a Shilen barrel at 24 in a Brown Precision stock (back when Brownells had a few) with a Zeiss Divari. I've had this rifle going on 25 years and has never failed me. Most recent addition is a CA Ridgeline in a McMillan Game Warden stock. Fine as factory rifles go but untested so far. That BR handled that bear nicely! Bullet?

Broke shoulders and exited at 200yds+. One and done,if only obviously. Hint. Tough to whoop a 700 L/A and their 3.690" COAL latitude. Hint.................

Preferences dictate flush cups on the stern,especially for Krunchentickers. I always remove the rearmost of tandem bow studs,so as to not induce a poor release under recoil...no matter the chambering. Hint.............

I personally MUCH prefer the '16x. Hint............... Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

The 24x is at it's best,when a '16x ain't around and nothing is more intuitive than Mil's. They track,zero and repeat,which is a great portion in dot connecting. Hint. '24x MIL/MIL. Hint. Even yesterday early morning,with atmospherics on my side,I was shy of 16x on 1600yd steel with .796 BC's. Hint. Bumped into a pard,who was chasing his tail with (2) Reupolds,playing make an adjustment and "tap" "tap" "tap",only to watch the erector do something different than it's input. Mechanical sanctity,sure is soothin' and it's nice to zero in (2) shots,then go to come-ups,with back to back rifles. Hint.(grin) Long way of saying,the '24x gets the nod,due Miltitude.
