Thank you for the kind words,
Ok day two at the range just shooting factory Hornady ammo, the 147gr ELD-M best group at 100 yards is 1" most groups 1.25"
Adv velocity 2910 fps, Labradar-2909,2910,2886,2910,2913,2901

The 143gr ELD-X is much better .35" at 100 yards and 1.2" at 300 yards, very consistent velocity with both offerings,
Adv velocity 2960 fps, Labradar-2963,2965,2958,2957,2961,2968

The Zeiss V4 4-16x44 (Z-MOA reticle) is an awesome scope, very bright, tracks very well, my son and I were at the range yesterday shooting the 6.5 PRC and my 28 Nosler which wears a Leupold VX6 HD 3-18x44, we both agree the Zeiss is much brighter, clarity is a bit better, my son prefers the Leupold duplex crosshairs as the Zeiss crosshairs are a little heavy out at 300 yards, but all in all a very nice scope for the money.
