FloorPoor Wrote:I recently picked up the same rifle. I'm also trying to decide what glass it's going to wear. I've found a couple of local good deals on Leopold VX3 2.5-8x33, and a VX 3i 3.5-10x40 w/B&C reticle. Im trying to decide between one of these, or pulling the VX2 3-9x40 off of my ugly old Ruger All Weather .223
Option three is definitely the most cost effective, but I hate to pull a scope from a rifle that is sighted in and shooting tiny 100yd groups. Especially with springtime rock chuck shooting just around the corner.
What I would really like is a fixed 6x with a bdc reticle calibrated for the Grendel, but as far as I know, this doesn't exist.
SWFA 6x42mm in MOA or MIL versions, I linked below. You calibrate it yourself for the 6.5 Grendel using something like this: http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbm...mp-5.1.cgi You make a drop chart and post it on the side of your rifle. Mine's done in 50 yd increments out to 700 yards. I use this 30 cal stock cuff from Hill People Gear to hold the Drop Chart: http://hillpeoplegear.com/Products/Categ...oductID/43
Kenton Industries will also make a BDC turret for your SWFA 6x42mm if that's what you have to have. You still have to provide them the ballistic data: http://kentonindustries.com/custom-turrets/swfa
Don't let the price fool you, these are bulletproof, and are covered by a no BS warranty. Made in Japan for SWFA.
