I’m assuming you don’t have the red dot already? Have you got any preference on what you get? If you drill and tap your receiver and add pic rail pretty much the world is your oyster. Other options: Shield do universal shotgun rib mount which means you wouldn’t have to do any gunsmithing. Also their 65moa circle and 1moa centre dot is a nice touch for a shotgun. https://www.shieldpsd.com/shop-2/universal-shotgun-mount Burris also do a shotgun mount for their fastfire. https://www.burrisoptics.com/mounting-systems/mounts-and-bases/speedbead-mounts

Loads of great options around the £1500 mark. What sort of shooting do you do? Logical would be to recommend FFP and mil/mil but depends on your use. If you looking at new I would suggest for your budget: Delta STRYKER ED 4.5-30x56 HD Vortex PST gen II 5-25 Bushnell DMR If you don’t mind using used you can start even picking up S&B PMII 5-25 or other high end glass, kahles etc Don’t forget to budget for a decent set of mounts. But until we know a little bit more about your shooting it’s hard to recommend FFP vs SFP. ps what creedmoor rifle do you own?

SOLD

Lovely scope. I have the same. Great deal for someone. MTC /LT version or the classic DT turrets?

Another vote for GGG 155gr match

Top work! Reminds me of.....

Tried some tennex once. Very good but not worth double the cost of SK rifle match as it’s not double the performance! I’m in agreement. Fliers count, be it the person or wind! Also when it comes to .22LR I think 10 shot groups give you a lot of information.

Bump

Guys I’m not sure if your aware but Alan or Cheetor on here is doing AI AR pistol grip conversions for your AX, AT or AXMC. I love my thumbhole on my AT but something about the grip on the AX has always bugged me. Never been as comfy as AR grips I’ve put on chassis systems or my old KRG W3. Really well engineered, it’s an custom machined aluminium trigger guard that the AR grip bolts to. It’s secured using the trigger bolts then the stock AI skins have been custom trimmed and painted to the same colour to your AI. The mod only takes around 20mins to install and is fully reversible back to standard in a flash. I’m very happy.

But I’m guessing you’ll have an extra ~100fps from having the 28” barrel

Is it a range rifle or walk about / cross over rifle? If it’s purely range work, get the varmint as they barrel profile is slightly thicker. My CTR used to walk off when it got hot after only reasonably short shot strings. If you’re walking about with it the CTR is perfect and the GRS bifrost is a great stock. Spare CTR mags are expensive or were when I had one, and I prefer the AICS. But you could always change your mind to AICS later on down the line of you wanted to. You can get bottom metals that accept both CTR and AICS magazines which might be the most sensible option.

What length barrel do you have? Not sure what others found, but I’ve always found my velocities were higher than the predicted charge weights that RS provided. Also as stated above, factory loading predict 2695 fps from a 24” barrel.... did you ever chrono them in your rifle, to gauge if your barrel is slow or fast.

Received today thank you. Top man 👍

Initial thoughts: Preowned: S&B Ultra short 3 or 5-20x50 S&B PM 4-16x50 March 3-24x52 Kahles 3-18x50 Minox ZP5 3-15x50 New you have quite a few options along with SFP Although quite rare in the U.K. in Mil variant and illuminated consider saving some money and looking at Bushnell LRHS 4.5-18x44

I’m assuming weight is important if going on a stalking rig? I’m assuming FFP but would you entertain a SFP?

From what I’ve read mk 5&6 are supposed to be excellent scopes and lightweight compared to its competitors. Only trouble with Leupold is that in the U.K. the pricing seems ridiculous and not warranted in my opinion and there does seem to QC issues in the states with quite a few duff ones churned out. However get yourself a good one I’m sure it would be lovely. If you like something different have you thought about some of March’s new offerings or soon to be released ones. edit - just seen the 2k budget. Ignore the March comment then!

Looking great. Seems good speed from the heavies..... May I ask your load data?

For that impressive rig I might be tempted with either: ASE SL7i Laurence Precison MAE moderator

Btw that is your .300NM rifle its going on? Very jealous by all accounts a very capable caliber

Budget? Use? What’s important to you weight or longevity end of barrel or reflex etc. ASE SL7i is very effective and is my first thought but we would need to know a little bit what your looking for in a moderator.

Most ballistic calculators have zero offset function. So you just tell the app or program you are offset by x or y left / right / up / down and it will factor into calculations. strelok for example:
