Got the SPRECCE out to distance today. 830 yards in 20 mph winds with 77 TMK on a 24in plate, check! Really impressed by this rifle. Nice shot Utah got of me. No, I wasn't shooting 830 yards from this position on a swing set 9ft in the air. It was only at 300 and 400
Utah killed it with his badass MK12 Mod 1 also.

Rebuilt the upper this morning. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate timing barrel nuts? I think I suck at it.
 Pertinent specs: -16" Bison Armory Recon -NF 2.5-10x32 NPR2 -Gemtech Trek -LaRue 13.2 Rail Hopefully a nice paint job and break in this weekend weather permitting. I ordered some IMI Razor Core 77 a few weeks ago just for this rifle. It's good to be back in the recce game. |

If you can get one for around $500, I think it's great. The clarity is similar to the Vortex 2.5-10x32 I had. Granted, it's different in that it's 2nd focal plane. The fire dot is nearly red dot bright and the stadia lines are easy to pick up, if a little thick.

For me, I like the Leupold better. Not knocking Vortex at all, and I wouldn't mind picking another up at some point. I won't be shooting over 500 yards, so FFP spent concern me much. I also like how much the reticle stand out and how brighter the illumination is on the Leupold. The thin reticle on the Vortex could help with precision, though. They are so close in many ways, but different enough too, that I'd give the nod to either. |

The Leupold definitely has A LOT more contrast in the sight picture and the lines are a lot easier to pick up. I used them side by side before picking the Leupold 2-7. Buy the Leupold if you favor speed, buy the Vortex if you favor precision. |

Got impatient while I waited for my 18" Rainier Ultra Match + Lantac SC upper to get wrapped up so I went and head through on the bipod and new scope on my 14.5" upper. Completely ridiculous, but still looked snazzy. This uppers usually has a EXPS2-0 and just the AFG, no bipod.
