Steel out to 1K, and I have killed a number of pd’s out to 500 yards or so with this rig as well, but no pics. Everything thing else besides rock chucks (from 150 to around to just under 500 yards), was from a standing position off of a tripod at night, using thermal.

Ballistic Turrets that would be functional for me.

If the turret on your rifle looks like the one to the right on the Swaro page, that would not be helpful for my uses.

My 16" 22 Creed runs 3154 fps. I am thinking he has a 13" and not a 14" barrel, at the worst with a 80 grain, he should be around 3050 fps. I don't know which bullet is best for his needs. I am guessing the 62 is going to be better for varmints, but that is for him to decide. The 80 grain works...

13" barrel or 14" barrel?

Understood. If a ballistic turret is your preferred way of skinning the cat for distance, I would get a scope where you can have a true ballistic turret. That way, you dial any distance you desire. I set up all of my rigs with 100 yard zeroes, but some prefer a 200 yard zero.

Excellent Shot JD!!!

Dialing... This is my most recent video. 5" targets. I just dialed for distance. I had good conditions, so I just held off a little the further I went out. In this vid you will see me dialing for elev and for wind.

Can you dial for distance with the scope on your 6.5 PRC (Swaro Z6 3.5x18.)? I am not a big fan of ballistic reticles, although that is how I got started with shooting and hunting at distance. There are faster and better ways in my opinion. I would prefer to dial either MOA or MIL for distance...

There is a handful of guys here who play at distance and compete (Different disciplines) at distance, who will chime in soon. 600 and 1000 yard Benchrest and F-Class. PRS NRL Long Range Steel matches. I am an odd-duck, since I use specialty pistols the majority of the time. I do own rifles and I...

I would start with the 6.5 PRC, as it sounds like it is your lightest weight rig, and it shoots good. My 14", 15", 15.75", 16", 17" and 18" specialty pistols will shoot just as good as rifles will. Longer Barrel Lengths, do NOT mean more accurate. Your DO get more velocity from a longer barrel...

You do not need a high magnification scope (20x-30X) to shoot good at distance. Nothing wrong with having the magnification, but most guys use too much magnification when hunting, and even when shooting at distance at multiple targets at different distances under time. When you up the power you...

I edited (Added more things) to my first response

For 700 yards max on big game, everything listed is plenty fine! Don't worry about a 20" 6.5 PRC, it is more than capable as well. Even a 18" 6.5 PRC with factory 143 ELD-X's still give me a impact velocity of 2000 feet per second at 700 yards...Plenty of velocity for any bullet to do it's job...

Darrell is a good friend, who also makes good products, and is a good teacher

Ultradot is really good kit!

With longer eye relief comes smaller field of view/FOV. With longer eye relief it is also more difficult to find your sight picture, compared to a rifle scope. I use rifle scopes with the majority of my bolt action specialty pistols. I also use thermal rifle scopes on my SP's. This is my...

You will actually have a smaller field of view with a long eye relief pistol scope

Congrats! Make sure your can is rated for the shorter barrel lengths. Optic you plan to use? Thermal or traditional scope? Peterson brass, H4350 with the 80's will work. 2.580 OAL. CCI or Fed Primer. 16" barrel 3154 fps Look at the rifle data, and go with that. My two 22 Creed pistols have a...

YIPPEE!
