You zeroed yet, just wondering if youre topped out. I am only one revolution off with a 20 moa base

Good looking rig.

 

[cummin_un_glued]

yes i'm zero'd at 200y and I have 4 moa left on the bottom, leaves me 65 moa of up.....yes I know the vortex site shows 65moa as the travel for this scope but mine seems to have more like a little over 70

 

[calib]

nice that is a long dam way at least with my load i think that is pushing 2100 yards for just scope adjustments is that a steel base?

Thats an awesome rifle. I like the color scheme. I have two questions, though. What do you mean you have 4 MOA left from the bottom? Also, is a 7mmx300 a wildcat of the 7mm remington magnum?

He has a 40 moa base. And its a 300 win case necked down

That's one nice lookin' stick! I hope she shoots lights out at the big distance for ya! gun)

Ya know, I'd be more than willing to give her a test run out here at some higher elevations - all in the name of serving another hunter...

Congrats on putting together a well-thought-out rig and as mentioned, I truly hope it's a one-hole shooter.

I'm still reeling from buying another house and trying to get my business more active at the same time. I've a little while before I start putting together a 7mm/300 Win for myself so I'm vicariously enjoying yours!

Very nice!

1930 @ 500ft (home)

2180 @ 7500ft (WY hunting grounds)

I do plan to shoot it out that far next month

the base is aluminum. I called EGW and bought a 20moa and paid another $20 to have it re machined into a 40 moa before they shipped it. took an extra week to get it done.

I have 4 moa of adjustment down with the rifle zeroed at 200y, with this sight height I am also zero at 50y so it works out real nice.

as said it is simply a 300win necked down to 7mm, same shoulder and all

Thanks! so far she's shooting pretty good so far and i'm not done with load development. I don't even have all of my brass shot once yet. I think i'm at 60 rounds down the tube.

I will be in WY at 7500ft next month i'm going to push her limits then, I plan on pushing it to 2200y that's around 70 moa so I will have to hold 5 in the scope.....but the bullet is still super sonic

When you do get to build one you will love it!

Great lookin rifle! Patiently awaiting my custom and seeing yours gets me excited!

Awesome rig buddy! Good luck out in Wyoming !
I'm finally back to shooting and will have the final results of my 7-300 AI to post in the next 2 weeks.
