Yes I am looking at adding a cheek riser, deciding when it comes in weather to go adjustable or rigid.
Shooting off props under a time limit, moves pretty fast, targets can be small, the more accurate the rifle the better, but wind calls are king.I don’t want to sidetrack this thread, because it’s very educational for me. With that said, I’m unfamiliar with the competition for which this rifle is being built. If I were curious about it, where would i find information?
I've narrowed down my optic choices, deciding between,
Vortex Venom 5-25x56; Arken EP5 5-25x56, Athlon Argos 6-24x50, Riton X3conquer.
Vortex and Athlon I've heard of, Arken and Riton gets good reviews, Arken comes with a 20moa mount which makes it about the same price as the Vortex and Athlon, Riton is the cheapest.
I've looked at Crimson Trace, Sightmark, Swampfox, Burris, US Optics, SWFA, and some others but they either didn't have zero stop, to far a parallax, or retail was above $1k putting me over the production limit
Not much movement on this stage, but we did have to shoot 3 targets going out strong side, then 3 targets coming back in weak side, 2 shots each.
None of the stages we shot had weak/off side shooting, I was reading where compromises can be offered for issues like you have, IF everyone agrees and I couldn't imagine anyone that was at that shoot having a problem.Curious if all the matches have weak side shots? Are there exceptions for folks blind in one eye( like me)? Thanks
I agree $600+ for the rifle and $500+ for the optics brings you within the production threshold. If I build another that might be the way I goI think a good budget rig would be a Bergara with an Arken on top
I think a good budget rig would be a Bergara with an Arken on top. I've got to shoot with 3 or 4 of them and they shoot well out of the box.
