[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 1937010, member: 1403"] I'll probably just end up keeping it. I love the scope other than the reticle issue, which in all honesty isnt that huge of a deal since that type of range would just be for fun anyway. I agree on the velocity with the 180s from my 7-300 win mag, especially since I have a 28" barrel. But I have never pushed it hard since day 1. Strictly middle of the road for accuracy and brass life. On my 5th firing of Nosler brass now and the primer pockets are still tight as day 1. They were all shot with the 162g AMAX at 3100-3150fps. I also believe the velocity issue is because my throat and OAL length is hindering it. I asked for the chamber/throat to be set out at 3.650" as long as the rem 700 mag box allows, but when I received the rifle, the OAL to the lands was only at 3.450" so my gunsmith didn't do it right...But it shoots 1/3 MOA easy so I've just dealt with it.
