[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1334970, member: 96226"] Well, the 7BR was one of 2 options available but it was actually what I wanted so that worked out. I was about to pop for a brand new race gun in 7BR when one of the other guys pops up at a match and says, hey I got this nearly new 7BR race gun for about 1/3 of what you were going to spend and it comes with 1000 rounds of brass and bullets and load data and dies. Couldn't resist. Trimmed the stock a tiny bit to fit me and now I shoot a lefty rifle right handed and have come to prefer that arrangement. 7BR has one big benefit over the 6.5's and 6's, mo' bettuh barrel life. My coach uses a 6.5BR and used to use a 6BR. The 6 chewed up barrels too fast for him and his budget has always been bigger than mine. He's using the 6.5 now and just recently started showing undeniable signs of it being shot out after only 3 seasons. I've got 3 seasons on my barrel and I'll get at least 3-4 more. My 130's do about 2560, my 168's do 2250fps. The heavies are a bit pokey but they hold a lot of knock down for the rams out at 500m. The scope is a Weaver T-24. It's a perfectly adequate optic with really good turrets and very good glass meant for competition use. It has a thin crosshair and 1/8moa target dot. That configuration is basically standard equipment it's so common. You need a thin crosshair to not obscure the target and it helps you avoid canting the rifle, that's also a reason why we mount our scopes up really high and the cheekpieces are so high with huge numbers for drop at heel and comb. The dot is your timing and aiming point and lends itself to adjusting your target break point with a good visual indicator.
