Bullshooter,

Was cleaning my 'bucket account and found this pic of the 11 Second Rifle.



On a good day it'll do 1" at the 500yd line with 50's.

That barrel resembles a truck axle. Do you lug that outfit around in the woods much? I know you told me 16-18lbs, but my 7stw hunting outfit is between 9 and 10lbs, ready to rock and roll and I think it is a beast to lug around. Sweet rifle none-the-less. What breed of scope is she wearing? My guess is older redfield or older weaver with turrets installed, though I know you are a Leupold "slut". Am I close?

I'm no LR afficianado but I believe the Eotech is a little more suited for closer range use on larger targets than for long range precision. What kind of 100 yd groups are you getting with that setup? I have had really good success with this one.



I found a bag of reloads I loaded up a couple years ago. 60gr. v-max's, they were grouping very consistent 1/2" @ 100yds. I also have a stash of BH 52gr hp that shoot very well. The BH 55gr FMJ wont shoot for sh!t which is ok with me as I have no use for FMJ's. I would like to upgrade the scope to something more usefull. I also want to add a Rem, or CZ bolt gun to the safe.

Stick: you mentioned buying used Leupy's, sending them back and having a turret installed. Bout how much is that?

Bullshooter The Eotech is not magnified so shooting more than 150 yards is not going to produce great results. I shot it again on Friday and was shooting 4-5" inch groups at 100 yards, with one shot about 1/8" high from being a bulls eye. Still learning the ropes...I can't believe how NICE of group the " shooters" are. Everyone is very friendly and are willing to help the new guys out!!

18lbs as she sets. I've lugged it a fair piece,in the interest of Science.(grin)

Still a whole lot lighter than a chainsaw and I've packed them to Hell and back,more times than I could begin to count.

One of my STW's was a 1St Generation Sendero,the other a 27" #4 contoured Schneider in a Classic on a 700. The Schneider really was stupid accurate and I had a penchant for 120's at Warp Nine.

Glass pictured is a steel tubed Weaver T-16x and all "T's" track like a dirty bastard. Had that glass on a 7-08 Sillywet Rifle back in The Day(lightweight glass,to make weight) and rolled it to The Chub.

She remains a solid platform from which to get minds right,especially in regards to turrets,because it's easy to see impact/trace through the glass. That feedback is invaluable in the firsthand.

You are fighting a coupla things,on your Colt. Firstly,is the handguard tube. If it isn't a free-floating design,you are going to have woe induced.

Secondly is the glass. No flies on the Eo' for speed and the like,but Precision is tough to muster via that route.

Beings you've the Picatinny rail inherent,your best move is to swap to/fro,as per the relative situation. Not that it will entail 1000 dis-reassemblies in an afternoon,but that you've an option from which to extract that which is possible from within the system.

Modest glass will reliably cover numerous avenues,less serious concession. I'd have no qualm slamming a Leupie straight 6x (6x42mm)
aboard,with the ele turret and engaging things out to Never-Never Land. With 60MOA elevation available on tap,you'll have zero issue stretching her legs as per crosshair intersection.

You'd be 300 clams deep,to blow your own mind.

The Weaver T-series erector system travels as known quantities,via input dialed into their turret(s). Meaning the corrections you dope,are actually imparted and this is no small thing.

I'll gladly take a hit in optical "brilliance" or other concessions regarding the view,but I gotta have finite control in regards to bullet placement interacting the crosshair proper,which makes me a pig of a Leupold Slut.

I'm anti-Weaver as a whole,though their T-series do perform.

For conversation,Leupold M8 straight 16x 1" 40mm on my 6mm Ackley Improved and it's McMillan HTG. Shilen #5 at 25",twisted 1-10".



And for more conversation,the Leupold MK4 M1 16x on my USMC return M40A1 handled 22-250AI,wearing a #6 and fluted Hart 1-9" at 24" in Badger 20MOA rail and Badger standards.



The MK4 M1 16x being especially configured for LR pursuits of the 50BMG-ish realm at inception,by seriously shaving windage travel,in order to pad elevation travel.

Good trade,IMHO.
