Niiice. Just sold one... HSM 250 is going to be your best bet if you haven't played with it yet.

I bought a mix of loads to try out and record dope on to see what she likes. Glad to hear your recommendation. Why did you sell yours?

Ya that's always the fun part... and relaxing on a sunday with targets a mile out. It was a decision I had to make to help a family member in some hard times.

By the way what kind of Scope is that? Nightforce?

I love NF glass...went out on a limb and tried something different... This one is trijicon Accupoint 5-20 variable. The jury is still out, great clarity and relief. I just need some more trigger time before a verdict.

You won't be disappointed with the glass, it is top notch. The EP will be a bit on the small side.

I tell you what though, if you want to try something new you should lok at the IOR Valdada's. Amazing optics! AL though honestly I think my next big optic purchase is going to be a Schmidt & Bender 1-10 on a DD Ar-15

Who knew the Romanians were grinding good glass? I had an s&b 3-12x42 illuminated, you won't mind spending the money.
