6 BRA built by Bat Machine. Need to look for a scope and rings from EuroOptics. Once the rifle is dressed up, I will clean the rifle and lube the bolt, run a bore scope to check things in chamber and barrel. If all is good, I'll run 28, 28.2, and 28.4 grain charges, 4 rounds each and all jammed .015-.020" into the lands to fireform from 6 BR to 6 BRA. I like to keep the case tight against the boltface when firing to get a good fireform. I will shoot one round first, clean and inspect the patches, then shoot a 2nd round and clean, then do 4 round strings. Hopefully I see some promise. I'll be starting with 103 Daggers from Barts.

Decided to go with the NightForce ATACR 7-35 x 56 MOAR-T, I have the same on the 6 BR and worked well for me. Once it comes in, I'll measure for the 34mm rings.
I could upgrade to higher magnification in the future, if needed but at this point I'll stick with the 7-35X, I can swap this out with my other ATACR 5-25X at a later time and sell the 5-25X. I like to replace all of the four 5-25X that I have with the 7-35X. EuroOptics made me an offer today for the 7-35X, knocked off 500 bucks plus free shipping. EuroOptics also offered me $2,000 off plus free shipping as well if I were to buy four 7-35X from them. Great company to deal with.
The 7-35 has a higher diopter than the 5-25, and clarity is a lot better for aging eyes.

Euro optic is a class act.

I wonder how the ATACR compares to the NX6 . the NX6 has more internal travel , if the glass is good . the last I stopped in Euro optics the NX6 was not out yet .

Of course.

Wow, I never knew about the NX6, it looks similar to the ATACR and specs look pretty close and its lighter.

 

[FOTIS]

Congratulations looks great! I agree that Europtic is a class act. I just got my 2-12x40 Nightforce NX6 the other day. Fast shipping and as usual awesome NF scope! I also have an "ATACR" and it is also a great scope. Both track great and very good glass.

What scope are you looking at?

yep , I'd like to know how the glass is in the NX6 .it's been a while , but the last time I was in Euro Optics they had the shelves arranged for the NX6 , but no NX6's were on display . I asked about them , thinking maybe they just didn't get them on the shelve yet . I was told they are ready for them , but didn't receive them yet . "IF" the NX6 has ATACR glass , the NX6 would probably be the way to go .


I'd like to get an , ATACR , NX6 , and the vortex razor , in around the 6-36 power range , for a weekend . using them in field conditions , high humidity , heat waves ,mirage , etc , separate the men from the boys , so to speak . some of the guys I shot long range with , were Athlon fans . when conditions got tough , they couldn't use the higher power on their scopes . my NXS , I could run it at max 32 , in most conditions . the ATACR , is supposed to have better glass than the NXS .

one guy had an IOR , VALDADA scope . it had a tremendous amount of internal elevation . I want to say maybe 150 MOA . I never looked through it , in bad conditions , to compare it to my NXS .

have you spent enough time with the big vortex scope yet , to have an opinion on it ?

 

[FOTIS]

If you're talking about the Vortex Razor 6-36x56mm yes I have. I find nothing bad I can say about it. Everything is as expected and I am very pleased with it. Quality, ruggedness- (I'm sure)- even though I have not beat it up yet, tracking all that stuff is awesome. Just like my ATACR. If I can change one thing in both these scopes it would be the objective size. I totally despise 56mm, heck I do not even like 50mm for that matter. Give me a good 44 or 42 mil and I am happy.
