I lived in Vegas for several years and have spent much time outside of that working there. I wasn't into hunting back then but hunting in northern Nevada has been quite enjoyable and I've been able to get a resident tag for something every year besides my first year applying. I wouldn't be...
Agreed. Like all Vortex products the MSRP is a bit scammy but if you shop around you can find good deals. I picked mine up on BH Photo a few weeks ago for $1100 with a free gift (olight flashlight/laser pointer). Saw it on Dvor a few days ago for $1150 iirc. Can't beat Vortex's warranty either.

Before I realized I had a bolt timing issue I was inspecting chamber/brass for signs of burrs or other damage. I even polished the chamber with Fitz hoping to remedy my issue. Any streaks on extracted brass? I found that some factory ammo extracted fine while others required a mallet. Is the...
Midway has some seconds available, my batch seemed pretty good. Looks like they raised the price to full retail though https://www.midwayusa.com/product/102052528
