[QUOTE="Good, post: 492514, member: 18866"] I've been wondering about those GS Custom 177s for a long time. Their cost prevents me from trying them in the '06 with 10 twist, but they sure look promising. The BC used to be advertised in the 7s. Optics No offence to you NF guys, and NF makes a good reliable scope, but there are other companies with more to offer around the same price range IMHO. If I were to spend 2k on a scope, it would probably be the Vortex Razor. Better glass than the NF and the Vortex is FFP. Other than the Vortex, in this price range, there is the IOR Valdada which also offers better glass than the NF and is also FFP. I don't own any of these, but my shooting buddy sports the IOR and another close friend has the NF. The NF is just not what I'd expect from a $2k purchase and would be way down my list with these other options available. Another scope worth looking at if you don't want a FFP is the Zeiss Diavari. There's a used one in the for sale section for $1k. Great glass but not sure about tracking... I like Vortex also due to warranty. A friend found a pair of Kaibab binocs that someone had left on their truck and drove away (we assume). They were thrashed. He contacted Vortex and they replaced them for free- even though he told them what had happened to binocs. He got a pair of brand new Kaibabs for free! That's how Vortex operates. Guns sp6x6 has a nasty 338 Norma mag (nasty in an awesome way). ABS carbon barrel, Lonewolf stock, etc. Weighs 8lbs 12oz with scope and shoots 1" at 400yds. That's the gun I'd build if I had the cashola. I like the idea of light weight for packing, but still being able to deliver destruction downrange. One of these days I may end up with a custom from Kevin Cram with Montour County Rifles on the 375-408 Chey Tac platform, with a Razor on top. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
