This little popsicle got a new scope... I like it thus far. Excited to see how I like the mil/mil turrets/reticle system.

Yep. In hindsight, I should've gone Talley Low 30mms, but it's not too big of a deal..... My eye still lines up very well.

Always go low with Talleys, unless you can go extra low.

When are you sending it out schit-rocker? Took the twins out for an impromptu workout today. 165 VLDs were working well shooting around 1" with 57 grns of RE22. Gotta chrony them as it feels like its running on the anemic side. May have to pick up 7828 and try it. Green grass...I wish. My balls were soaked today after my shoot, and it wasnt from youre mommas mouth

Liking the 3-9x42 SWFA thus far. This mil/mil thing will take some getting used to, but the glass seems pretty darn good to my eyes (whatever that's worth) and I like the reticle quite a bit.

Does it always try to point towards Pearl Harbour, no matter how far you spin the turrets?

I checked out one of the AR Mod 1's at a Sportsmans. Definitely a nice little option for a lightweight rig, but I wasn't too fond of the BDC numerals with the Mil designations written really small below. And it doesn't have hash marks to designate which turn you're on, so those kind of blew it for me.

If a 10T would do what you need I could get you running fast and cheap with a SS rock.

I appreciate the offer Eddy, but I don't know if a 10T will spin the 105 A-Maxes like I want it too, and that's really my main bullet of choice in this rig. I've heard of some doing it, but I'd rather just do it right the first time.
I think I'm going to order the #3 Shilen and fling a package your way. Trying to see if Kenny can give me an idea how long the throat is on the one you built him.

At your altitude I think the 10T would do the job, but here at sea level they are iffy. I kinda like to be better safe than sorry myself, so your probably doing the right thing. I can tell you that 105 scenars will jamm and feed with my reamer.

The 105 Scenars will jam and feed from a 2.8" box?

MOA/MOA and mil/mil are the same thing, they're just different incremental angular measurements. You already know that. Simply put, 0.5 mil is about 1.75MOA, 1 mil is about 3.5MOA, 0.1 mil is about 0.3MOA, etc. The only time you will likely even have to think about that is when holding off for wind or elevation. If you're dialing it in, just tell your ballistic app to spit out the corrections in mil's, and twist the knob to the requisite marking FFP does take a little getting used to, but I have a feeling you're going to love it once you get your head wrapped around it.
