Which barrel lenght, I think they list about 4 options. I've always wanted a 24".

Guess I'll be looking for appropriate glass now. Thinking something like an 6-24 with a big objective and a 30mm tube.

That commercially loaded el cheapo 556/223 ammo sure is misleading... Looks like 556/223 loaded with a premium bullet runs $1 per round or so..  |

Old 20" Windham Bushmaster V-Match lives here, so old that a scope rail is screwed to the top of a milled down upper. No flattop uppers made at that time. Ordered for 3 gun comps in my neck of the woods in the mid 1990's. Shorties with iron sights worked better at the matches here.
Mounted the V-Match upper on a generic Rock River lower with a Timney trigger & put a 6.5-20 Leupold on top. Confirmed prairie dog kills at 690 yards with 50grn V Max & Benchmark powder, about 20 cents a pop. Zip lock bags of them have followed me out west. Scope runs out of adjustment at about 700 yards at 3500 ft. above sea level, 50 grain bullet has had enough anyway.
Got me thinking, the new 53 V Max, a 20 MOA rail, maybe I can get a thousand yard AR-15 kill,,,,, or bruise. Spotter might get bored though, & tell me I had a hit, even if I didn't, just to get it over with. Thinking that's happened before.

Dang! Now I am tempted to put my 34mm tube Vortex on this gun...  |

Nothing wrong with Vortex on a 223. I have 34 mil ATACR and S&B on them myself  |

Just traded for a Vortex Viper HS 4-16x50 BDC. Ordered the Vortex 30mm Cantilever 20 MOA mount...
