And just for funzies
lol I think those were taken back when there weren't a ton of low variable optics and I had a couple of leupolds; amazing how fast things change. In comparison to the options today that was a horrible optic, but it sure looked good in pics, and at the time worked for me pretty well. Attached File Attached File |

So I have my 14.5 mini in 5.56 that I enjoy quite a bit. But it lacks thump down range (500 plus)
Looking at potentially doing a mini in 6.5 Grendel. I have seen some nice results in 6.5 forum. But figured I would ask in the non fanboy area. Pros: Better ballistics Could hunt deer with Cons: Harder to get mags Ammo cost |

View Quote I am definitely doing 12.5 if I do it. Most shots will be 5 and in. Thinking of doing the PSA build kit with 12.5 adjustable gas upper and SB3 brace until I get another stamp in. Game shots would be inside 200. |

How does the Steiner compare to the NX8? 2. Would you recommend the NX8 over the 2.5-10x24? Thanks Steiner optically stomps a mudhole in the nx8s ass. However, the nx8 is tiny, light, FFP, amazing reticle, and bomb proof. I'd recommend the nx8 over the x24. However, I have both and love both. |

How does the Steiner compare to the NX8? 2. Would you recommend the NX8 over the 2.5-10x24? Thanks Having owned and used both, I choose NX8. Even at over double the cost, the size, weight, and usefulness of 8x overtakes the P4Xi for my purposes. If I wanted a 4x LPVO, I’d go back to an Elcan, as the Elcan smokes the P4Xi in pretty much all categories, IMO. |

Mr Grendel by Professor Horseyhead, on Flickr The lower it's on is my only SBR lower. Since I'm still waiting for a can I purchased in 2017 that didn't go pending until February 2019 to be approved, I don't really intend to do any more NFA things. |

The local 600yd range is about done, debating on going back to the NX8 to have a little more fun past 400. Was debating on an atacr but I think it's gonna be over kill price wise on this rig.
The Steiner is just so good at 1x. I'm torn. |
