SOLD!

I just took payment on it from kaseyfied

PM's returned

Not at this time. I already have the scope in a lesser magnification now, going to use the funds to finish a build

Yes it does. 10 brightness settings, with an "off position" between each level

Have a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 EBR-4 MOA SFP. Was mounted on a rifle to check barrel clearance with base and rings then put back in the box. Changed calibers on the build so I went to a lower magnification in the same scope. Have all paperwork, sunshade, decal, pin and lenses cloth...

I'm having trouble finding any load data for the 168 grain Barnes TTSX. I have H-1000, Retumbo, and IMR 7828 on hand. Just looking to see if any of you guys have used this bullet in the .300 RUM with success, and what you pushed it with. Thanks

I will never shoot another berger at an animal either! The bullet worked, but just left me with no confidence in its ability to hold up on game

It definitely seemed to spit out a bit more velocity and stood up to a bit more pressure than my buddy's rechambered 700 (previously a 7mm Rem Mag) My buddys rifle couldnt take near the amount of 7828 that the encore was handeling. another great thing with the encore is you can load what ever...

thats the entrance. The bullet barely made it past the entrance side ribcage, it took out the hit side lung, but the heart and offside lung were not touched

My 140 Berger's expanded, no doubt. They pretty much exploded like a varmint bullet! I was told by someone at Berger that their bullets shouldnt be pushed but to around 3100-3200 Max, I was pushing around 3600 hence the explosive expansion.

Thanks, I wanted to do something different. I had never seen an STW in an encore platform so I went with it! The guys at Match Grade Machine in Utah built the barrel for me, and the stocks came from High Plains gunstocks

Just a quick question. I'll be looking to possibly pick up a Sendero after the 1st of the year.If i cannot find one already in the beloved 7mm STW, what would be the best caliber to buy one in to rebarrel??? I see .300 RUM's for sale everywhere, and I'd rather rebarrel with a 28" barrel than...

Total weight was right around 14#'s, not too much kick, but that was why i went with the full bull on the barrel. That was the only deer i shot with the bergers, the bullet exploded like a varmint bullet just under the hide. Deer looked like it was hit by lightning, but i would rather a bit more...

Hey now, what you got against the south!?! LOL
