Building A ELR Rifle

[nakneker]

Is that the Valdada Terminator?

Valdada Recon Gen I. Max power is 28x

 

[nakneker]

I am going to need some 338 brass. There is a lot of it out there.

Is Lapua considered the best?

Yes, you can buy less expensive brass but the Lapua has out lasted anything I’ve tried, in the long run is cheaper, great brass.

Getting back to a scope for this project, I am down to a choice of 4.
The specs are. 56 mm objective, 1/8 clicks, preferably a uncluttered reticle, 2d focal plane, enough vertical to go out past a mile, and rugged enough to stand up to a 330 Lapua Imp muzzle brake blast.
Kahles 10x50x56
March 8x80x56 Majesta
Valdada Terminator
Schmidt & Bender 10x60x56 CM11

You will not get much change back from $4000 on any of these.

The scope will serve double duty. Sitting atop the 338, and then a 6PPC for the Tack Driver, in the hopes of being able to see better in the terrible mirage at Orangburg.

Shooters have great things to say about each, and bad. I leaning toward the Valdada, but there are bad reviews out there.

Help me spend my money

Terminator.......100moa elevation adjustment, 40mm tube, and 12x on the low end should work even in the Orangeburg Torture Chamber.

It’s rather timely that this thread is running at this time. If I use the Shehane Tracker Stock, I am going to have to figure a way to mount a suitable Bypod.

Heavy / ELR style bipod

I'm in the market for a heavy duty bipod. I've shot pretty competitively in FO and FTR and know how long it can take to narrow down into a quality combination so looking for some advice from those that have experience. This will initially be used on a MDT ACC in 7PRC and the biggest I'd go with...

I ended up with the aacu-tac LP-50, it's pretty solid. First trip with it in a couple weeks.

Jackie, if your looking at Valdada look at this one.
I'm pretty sure this is what Bart S. uses.

Alright then, pick 2 and buy both of'm.
Sell the one you don't like as much as the one you keep.
See how easy it is to spend someone else's money. Lol

Shit Jesse, if I had Jackie's money I'd burn mine in front of him....
Including the damn house!!
Half mill in Oregon is a whole lot less than you get in Texas.
Just saying
He did say help him spend his money. Lol

For some reason, I thought Bart used the Valdada 12x52x56 Terminator.
I haven’t talked to him since The TackDriver. I guess I need to give him a call.

 

[Ranger188]

He's also a dealer or was for the Valdada scopes.

Western Oregon has plenty of room to stretch your legs as well, unlike Texas we got mountains and trees. Lol
Zillow hit this morning for a 6.8acres a badass farm house and 5x the shop space $348k in Tennessee.
Only problem is convincing the wife.

Didn't Jason Owens run a 12x42x56 NF BR to win TD5?
With a big enough rail 50MOA+ you should be able to keep optical center and retain use of your turrets.

I have looked the 20x60x56 CM11. No one seems to have it in second focal plane reticle.

What press are most using to load these ELR cartridges? I don't think a 338LM seated long would fit in my LNL Classic press.

Western Oregon.
Shooting my 7 saum from 1800 to 2990 yards, from another logging landing a bit north I can do 2800 to 4100.
