I picked up a Remington 700 BDL in .243 and this scope was one it. I had never heard of the brand before and also have never had a scope like this so I just thought is was so cheap off brand sniper scope. lol it’s pretty darn nice. Has so many adjustments I don’t even know where to start
Have you tried the Hornady 147gr ELD-M? I use them in my long range classes. Does it have a 20moa rail or "0" MOA rail.
Good video. I have both rifles and a Belgara, the CZ 457 MTR with the correct ammo, can shoot 1 moa at 150 yards all day long. But the Tikka is not that far behind, in summary my Tikka is in my opinion the best rifle I have for the money.
I just love Howa. I mean Japanese made..say no more. If you just want an affordable rifle that will shoot well that has no frills but will last a lifetime long after you forgot what you paid.
This, the tikka ctr or savage 110 tactical?
the Bergara HMR is the best value
@@EpikArms thank you
I am now saving my money to build one my self thanks to this video🤣 one day... one day...
How long is the pipe?
You mind if I ask what height those scope rings are? I have a 5-25x56 scope and Im trying to make sure I get the right height for the scope to clear the barrel. Thank you sir.
which is better.. Vector Taurus or Vortex Venom?
If you can read between the lines of this video, you can clearly see that this rifle isn't that great and buddy here is doing his best to make it seem half decent. For 1200 bucks go buy a T3x and call it a day. I love the 700 I have 1 sitting in front of me but it's very out dated. Point being that remington has been selling a basic black 700 in a shitty hogue stock for like 20 God damn years.
What a beasts
Hear what you're saying, albeit some of us old school guys prefer the internal magazine. As such, you can't forget it at home or loose it in the woods.
Im going to start shooting PRS. Im thinking about getting a t3x varmint stainless. Thats pretty much descided. Now 6,5x55 or 308? Shorter barrel with supressor or long barrel? I know 308 can handle short barrels, but 6,5x55 kinda need longer barrels. What do you suggest? Selling a few guns to finance the build. Putting an Arken Optics EPL4 4-16x44 FFP VHR MIL on it.
It might be nice to know that within the box there's a handy small plastic device that you can use instead of a coin to adjust te scope. As it's never been mentioned I guess most users don't find it on the bottom of the black foam, I saw it after several days myself.
I still can’t understand why I can buy this and M14 is not legal :/
What happened to this?
@@Andrew-gx4ot most likely the plant overseas is occupied with more profitable projects... ukraine
That's almost hard to believe
You can brag-up the Remington all you want, but just hope you never break a part on it . I broke a Extractor on mine and Rem. doesn't even have replacement parts they tell you you to go on-line and try to find parts. Pretty sad !!
Stop short-stroking both actions. Really terrible technique. The MTR vs the T1X is not apples to apples at all. I could care less what the average of 21 different types of ammo shows. Give me 10 round groups of the best 2-3 ammo each shoots. The T1X bone stock is not good for PRS type shooting. I typically enjoy most of your content. This is rubbish. The Tikka goes for $625. The MTR is $900. I could easily spend $200 to make the T1X shoot as well in any PRS match.
Its the same price as the strike eagle now.
Always get the barrel threaded from factory if possible. Better to have the option and not use it, than to not have it.
Has anyone checked to see if AICS mags fit?

Were you compensating for Windage and Elevation when you missed at 720m?
Does a suppressor take place of the brake, or are both used together
in most cases its either one or the other, now some suppresor companies have muzzle breaks that yoiu can threat a suppresor over top of it.
I'm interested in replacing the brake with a suppressor, any advice
They seem too picky on ammo.
Bonjour je suis français Je voudrais savoir quel frein de bouche vous prenez sur la bergara en 6.5. Bonne journée
Apres biens du temps jai remarquee Le risque que le frein de bouch affected negativement la precision est trop elevée, si Java is en recomandee un ce serais le EM Precision muzzle break
I was thinking same thing
Brief about 1000 shock resistance
Just won one on auction for 300 bucks and waiting on the rings/Arken single mount w/ 20moa so I can throw it on my AR 10. Looking forward to using that VPR reticle and making adjustments on moving targets will be fun!
What’s the best ammunition to get with this high end hunting rifle?
ive tested pretty much allof the budget rifles and there isnt one thats best its itest 7-10 of them and you sshould be able to find 3 that will be fine-great
Thanks for teaching me the Canadian pronunciation of chamois. I received a new ED-PRS 5-25 x 56 today. Amazon $349. The manual enclosed was not for this model. I see no contact info online or a pdf manual. I am wondering what the left, outside knob function is? Thoughts?
@jeffkalina7727 hey Jeff, I sell them in Canada, and also this is my my review the dial on the left is the focus parallax and on the same knob, the illumination
Ijust bought an lvt barrel from midway and im eyeballing a krg bravo stock or i can wait til mdt releases a field stock for the 10/22 and im looking at a bushnell match pro scope i think it will be a fun accurate build
It is certainly cosmetically appealing. Would look good on a couple of my rifles. However, a relatively unknown optic selling for $700 in Canuckistan is a hard sell vs an Arken or the new Vortex viper line.
These are 3 shot strings, not groups.....5 shots is barely a group.
Any chance to review a vector continental 3-18?

I have an opportunity to purchase a used Savage 110 Elite Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor for $1,500. Alternatively I can get a Sabatti Tactical Evo for a bit less. Sabatti are a family owned Italian producer of rifles and shotguns. I already have one in 308 which has served me well. They are quite innovative and I love their McMillan style stock. The Savage is in a chassis which I am still beginning to like. It's a great price tho.
Would you get this a tikka or a gen2 ruger american?
This is not a fair comparison video. This is a tikka parade.
What caliber is he using somehow I missed it if he mentioned it
6.5 creedmoor
I'm torn between this scope and the Athlon Argos BTR GEN 2. Will be used on a CZ457 varmint. Which would you choose
I would chose the arken between the two. And if you can spend just a bit more. Then the arken Ep5
We need to know how this stacks up against the Arken EP5
I would like to see the cz up against the savage mark 2 like the one in my avatar
This was excellent thank you.
I have a Gen 1 Taurus 6-24x50 with Zero Stop. awesome eye relief and eye box, very forgiving. Glass is above average, quite nice actually, better than my Riton 6-24. great review!
That's a lot of options. I dont like the clarity but maybe that's youtube compression.
I think howa is a very well built and very accurate great rifle!!
So beautiful ❤️ From pk 👍
