Picked up a Sightron SV 10-50x60mm scope with fine target dot reticle to add to the choices. I like the fact this has a normal and a fine parallax adjustment. Night Force 34mm rings should be here tomorrow. Whatta Hobby!

Mounted her on one of my precision Volquartsen 10-22s with a heavy SS Lothar Walther barrel on a set of Badger Ord USMC rings from Hawk. Thanks buddy. Whatta Hobby!
I'm curious what your thinking is on putting that much magnification on a short range rifle? I'm sort of doing the same thing. Except the kit I'm using is far less delux. So what does that big scope do for you?
Very difficult to see the 1/8" aiming dot that I use without good glass at 50 or 100 yds.
My buddy is waiting on his to arrive so he can mount it on his .22. He has nothing but praise about them since several local shooters have them already.
The ARA Factory Benchrest bull is about 1/8th inch diameter and shot at 50 yards. The Open Class target is smaller and uses a lighter ink pattern. High power optics are a must. Art's target shots he has posted got me interested in doing the same but in a competition, thus the ARS target.
I'm shooting slow 30 caliber pills out to 200 yards and I need that magnification to see bullet holes out that far. No competition but same big parabola. I could get into .22 BR. Sounds very cool.
It is very cool. Jump on in
I always have rifle or three being tweaked in my shop. Whatta hobby!
Mr banks I see 3 beautify setup rifles and 3 different bipods
One of my tweaks is get bipod
Any advice on good and affordable?

Atlas would be my suggestion. Not cheap, but well worth the money. I like shooting with the legs forward for my pre-load. Harris does not do that. The S7 in the last photo is wonderful, but expensive and heavy. Whatta Hobby!
Yes have heard many good things about the atlas. Looks like I’m going there.
More awesome m1a’s. Thanks
Whatta hobby indeed

Atlas are very good. They do give a discount to LOE & military personnel. Harris are good quality but not on the same level as Atlas. I wouldn’t go any less than Harris, don’t get sucked into buying knock-off Harris they aren’t worth it.

I have 3 of them now and love them. Nice change from the Night Force scopes I have been using. Love the dot reticles for my uses.

I didn't know Sightron had gotten into high end optics. Are these made by LOW Japan?
