I'm a new member of the 6.5 crowd now

For a couple years I told myself that I wasn't gonna fall into the new hottest caliber thing. Well, about a year and a half ago I was flipping thru a magazine and I saw her. She was looking good. She had a butt.....stock that was like wow. And her forearm looked so beefy. I had to have her. It just happened she was only available in 308 or 6.5cm so I went with the 6.5. I put a vortex Viper pst gen2 5-25 on it.

@steelfingers built out the same rifle you have. I think he went aftermarket on almost the entire rifle. Maybe he will chime in with some info.

So as scopes go,
Any recommendations for me to look at.

Right now I'm thinking of something in a Vortex,
Or a higher end Nikon with the BDC reticle.

What is your budget? Look at the SWFA scope I think they are the best bang for the buck clear glass and track real good. Of course, that is if you want to turn the turrets. Vortex is a hit and miss in the lower end, now when you get to the PST and Razor they are good. I was told that vortex is now made in CHINA.
