You could polish the edges of your barrel extension teeth in the ejection clock position to mitigate those vampire neck marks. At least one of the lugs...

I use similar reticles all the time with the GRSC on my 12”. It’s really close when shooting at 400-800yds. More weather or bullet weight dependent....

If you do a 50yd zero with 123gr ELD-M at 2350fps, it’s really close for each stadia line.

If you’re using lab-grade load equipment, then you can afford top-of-the-line barrels to match the back end.

The best way I can describe...

[LRRPF52]

I just checked my Lilja 17.6” and Larue 18” guns as well.

No grinding marks at all on the extractors in those surfaces adjacent to the...
