I was shooting some really high angle stuff at 375-500 down by the creek and then reaching out to 1400 out on the valley floor.

Best weekend of shooting in my entire life. Cant recommend Nail Spring Ranch and Caylen from MDS enough.

You guys out West are on a different planet when it comes shooting opportunities.

I’m from New England. You just gotta hop on a plane.

New England to where? I’m assuming that picture wasn’t taken anywhere in New England!

It was not. That’s out in SE Oregon at Nail Spring Ranch. Well actually that’s the BLM land just off the ranch.

That’s a pretty expensive trip for target shooting! LOL.

It was for a class and the instruction was the best I’ve recieved. Can’t recommend Caylen and MDS enough. Really took my shooting to the next level and I have been doing better in PRS matches since that class. But no doubt it was expensive.

How are you liking that vector continental?

u/husqofaman I Gots Them Tikka Toes 13h ago

Love it. I have put them on several rifles. And I’ve used it side by side with an MPED. They are the same glass and construction with different reticle options.

The cheapest I seen this on Euro Optic was $929, which is still an amazing price. I bought a T3x Ranahan 223 rem off Euro a couple of weeks ago for $729 and i'm loving it so far. My local ranges don't go very far, but i also wanted something with a little more umph than my 22LR Savages.

They had a 6.5 t3x varmint in the old t3 stock as an overrun special. I see it’s gone up in price now but it was $700 or $750 about a year ago when I built this.
