Re: Vortex optics
I have all Vortex, a 6-24X50 strike eagle on my .204, A 5-25x50 pst gen2 on my 6mmCM, a 15-60x52 golden eagle on my 6.5CM, plus assorted others. very good luck with them, they track great, are clear & never needed warrenty so far. my 2 cents.

Re: H4895 / Sierra Blitzking
my savage liked 27.7 for 3868mv & depth of 2.000 for .021 groups. went out 5/5/19 to shoot PD's also took steel & set it 355 yds to verify load/scope at distance. made Strelok adjustments then had fun, couple 400+ kills, most were 175-350. no young out yet.
