Yeah
I'm figurin' on movin' somewhere with bean fields and necking a .458 Lott down to 6.5.
Gonna call it the 666 Texass Barnburner.
It should be just the thing for deer the size of dogs.
Have you tried calling Redfield? 877-798-9686
Their customer support is legendary.
I have a couple of old friction adjust Leupolds, they work just fine.
I think "infinitely adjustable" means that tweaks of less that what would be a click are possible.
Repeatability, i.e. chasing the POA...
I think Nikon's are a lot of glass, for the money. I had previously been stuck on the idea that Leopold and Burris was the place to be on the price performance curve. Recently I put a Team Primos (outdated Monarch) on an 18" .308 and I'm real happy with it.
The "Spot On" software would be an...
Pick up an Innovative Technologies Belted Magnum Collet Resizing Die. You'll get more loads, with less problems, than you thought possible in a belted magnum. I wish that I had discovered this years ago.

I wish I could say I've never had a problem attributable to a loose nut behind the trigger. :)
Cold shots are finicky critters indeed, but you shouldn't need sub moa for a 200 yard shot.
Follow the directions on a can of Wipe Out, or store it with some Bore Snake Venom in the bore and patch it...
I was tempted to mention Nikon (and Vortex), but I thought the initial replies were going to be that decent and <$500 were oxymorons. :rolleyes:
IMHO, if you really want to do routine turret cranking, the only scopes that are consistently (scope to scope) repeatable are Nightforces.
I don't own a 6.5, nor did I peruse all 26 pages of this thread, but I thought it was curious that the Creedmoor was left out of the poll.
I like to shoot too much to be very interested in barrel thrashing overbores.
Anaconda, or so I'm told. :rolleyes:
It's not really as simple as strong enough, or not. Think more about how fast your going to wear it out. End shake, (cylinder play longitudinally) will be one of the first symptoms in a Model 29 fed a steady diet of full tilt .44 Mag loads.
S&W makes X...
