Is there a comp or just a cap on the barrel. It's cut off in the pic . Thermal scope in the backround?

Truth. They took there battle from riots in the streets to teaching in the schools and universities in starting in the late 60's and early 70's. Smart move and it's paying off. It ain't over though. Parents have to do their part. Just teach them HOW to learn, not WHAT to learn. There are...

Somebody needs to buy this so I don't keep looking at it! And it's a lefty. In 6.5. And it looks purrdy dern ac-a-rit.

Pretense, I'm s southpaw. I have a Tikka in 6.5cm on the way, and a Tikka in 300wsm is my plan for elk and such. The old Marlin lever 45-70 with some leverevoltion for the whitetails in the Adirondacks locally. Not much bends its path under 200 yards. Christensen is very tempting but what does...

I've never had it. But when I see all the high end scopes are FFP , I thought that having reticle match zoom would be good. But now after reading another thread I realize that I'm basically shooting flat to 200 at which point I would be at full zoom anyways meaning FFP isn't necessary? Obviously...

There's an "ahaa" moment for me. Anything that I put a higher power scope on is pretty much shooting flat to 200yds (6.5cm ) , so regardless of zoom, I'm not useing reticle elevations anyway. Beyond that I'm using the scope at intermediate powers for FOV scouting, and going to crank it to max...

This might be a stupid question, is the reticle visible with illum turned off? And why don't you like ffp? I'm curious, because this would be my first ffp. Thanks for the review, I am seriously considering this scope for the $$ and features. I have no complaints with my other nikons , but I am...

Well, I am in the same market as the OP. My head is spinning like a roulette wheel and just slowing enough for the ball drop off the wheel. Looking to put on a 6.5CM LR target /hunter , probably Tikka light (lefty) So a max power of 18-25, 24 oz , illuminated moa , ffp w/zero stop with decent...

I'm probably not seasoned enough to notice ,and with your sub .5 groups sounding stellar, what was is your opinion of the trigger?. Great shooting BTW. I'd be happy with half that with factory ammo.

I'm no youngster, but I have a good friend I would consider "old school" that builds hunting rifles and hunts with them. Every time I tell him I'm looking at a 6.5 CM he says" what do ya want that for? 260 rem is the way to go " and he follows with the reasons why. I can't argue , but I don't...

New guy here, partially because I stumbled upon this post. And is was perfect timing. I too am looking for a factory 6.5 CM. Disclaimer , I am a southpaw and that limits my choices though they seem to be a lot easier to come by than years ago. I've been looking at the Savages and Rugers but...
