That's a good way to put it, absolutely brilliant clarify, contrast, and color right to your eye.
It's pretty cool seeing the whiskers twitch on a coyotes nose at 500 yards
You bet
And for hunting I really don't think the March FX 4.5-28 can be beat, the benefits of the zco are only going to count in ELR shooting, PRS, or really poor lighting conditions.
Not hating on the fx 4.5-28 at all its really a great scope and definitely blows the atacrs out of the water, except the 7-35 model.
You'll have to get behind a ZCO and compare it in every shooting condition, not just a 10 minute looksy in perfect lighting.
I'll put it this way, I ran my March...
I have an fx 4.5-28 highmaster and a zco 5-27, while the March is awesome it really doesn't compare to the zco.
Aside from a clear glass advantage, yes it's not even what I'd call close, the zco has a much better eye box and far more forgiving parallax.
I'd keep that 6.5 match rifle as is, run the 300 prc for hunting, sell everything else, and If you still feel the need for a 6.5 prc buy a seekins ph2 for $1800
Seekins without a doubt
I was shooting a match last weekend and seekins had a vendor booth, a shooter parked next to me walked by and said he'd told them he was having extraction issues and they just handed him a new bolt and said if this doesn't work let us know.
He told them he wasn't even...
Both barrels are 26"
The Criterion 6 creed weighs 4lbs 14 oz while the 6.5 barrel weighs around 7.5 lbs.
The rifle weighs 12 lbs with the heavier 6.5.
I'd also be willing to put the 6 creed barrel on and sell that setup alone.
T3 action in KRG Bravo chassis, I put this together as a match rifle with a Criterion 6 creed barrel chambered by Solid Accuracy. 300 rounds through it, I have 300 once fired peterson cases and dies.
I put a McGowen 6.5 creed barrel on this March for NRL matches, with my 40 oz scope I'll be 6...
