New optic for one 40x
-
I decided to throw a new optic on one of my 40xs, the old 20x Redfield was interesting to shoot with.
Also ordered another B&T PSR bipod for my second 40x, and throwing the Haris bipod on a 7mm Mag I have that I will use for hunting.
Both now have a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50, one in MOA, one in MRAD. They work for now, will be upgrading them when I have the opportunity.

That should make them quite a lot more versatile. :)

Man, nice rigs. I don't think I will ever get this guy down here to turn loose one of his 40x pieces. I'm not even sure he has them. I did run across a Winchester 52 on consignment last week and another 513 in real good shape. The 52 was priced at 750.00 and the 513 was 475.00. The Winchester was extremely heavy I guess most of the government issued ones were like it. The end of the barrel looked like it was milled flat, no crown. I saw those scopes on sale at Midway but the moa version was out. Still quite a bit knocked off from regular price.

@bigfoot these are no lightweights either, 26" heavy counter barrels in wood stocks. The first time I held one I was shocked at how much they weigh.
But on the range that helps.

@rhyno I grunted trying to get that 52 out of the rack.

52 and 40x are very similar in weight. They are full size rifles unlike most 22’s sold today.
My 52 also has a flat crown.
