[QUOTE="tom m., post: 845533, member: 14956"] There is more expensive out there, but I'm not sure there's anything better. Maybe some different options that are neat and so on. I haven't even bought any of the new releases yet. I was once again impressed by my old 5.5-22 yesterday. It's been a while since I've played out past 2k, and wanted to get some data on the 300 otm as far as grouping at sub sonic. We worked our way to 2740, and I needed 113.25 at that moment. She bottomed out at 92.5, so I cranked back to 83.25 to keep the math tardproof. Cranked it down to 11x(yet another reason for second focal planes), and held 30 moa over. First shot was 2moa low and out the right 18-24". Held 32 and hit was 0 and out the right 20ish". Sent another at the same hold, landed(4.9xxx seconds later) just under 2moa high, and out the right about 30". I learned 2 things, 300smk might have the edge for group at extreme distances with a 10 twist. And nightforces are **** reliable, even changing the power settings. Tom [/QUOTE]
