[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 2039062, member: 1403"] I did have a Benchmark, and it's the only one I'll ever own again. My smith had an extra Benchmark laying around his shop when I was having my 7-300 win mag built, and he gave me a good deal on it. I didnt want to use it honestly, wanted the Bartlein put on, but he said just try it out and lets go from there. (I get Bartleins for $350, which isnt bad considering I'm not a dealer, or FFL holder. Well worth the extra $50 over a Benchmark in my sole opinion anyway.) So that's what we did, I loaded up 162g AMAXs with H1000 and the best I could ever get with that Benchmark, was 1 MOA. Not hardly what I was after. So he yanked it, screwed on my Bartlein I originally wanted in the first place, and the 2nd load I tried with 162g AMAXs and H1000 went in the .3s Shot that load for 5 years and it held 1/2 MOA to 1400 yards. Just this spring I decided to try the 180g ELDMs with H1000 and it shoots even better yet. I may have just got a dud Benchmark, but I've never had or seen a bad Bartlein, so I will continue to go with them. Once I get burned, it tends to leave a sour taste taste in my mouth.
