GA precision rifles anyone

I’ve been a die hard leupold fan but I’ve been really looking hard at the Nightforce NXS 5.5x22x50 with the Mil Dot reticle. Anyone else have a Nightforce?

My 300 has a nxs 5.5-22 x50. I also own a mark4 6.5-20. Both great scopes

What reticle do you have on the NXS?

Right now you can get a really good deal on a non hd leupold vx6.  I have this scope and a Swarovski x5.  Both in 3-18-50.  The vx6 in tmoa reticle is really nice.  It’s got a .2 noa hole in the middle so you can see that tiny little dot when doing load work up. And it’s about 10 ounces lighter than the nxs.  For hunting I don’t see needing anything bigger than a 18 power scope at 50 mm bell.

Rifle showing up on Monday! Unfortunately I think I’ll be out of town working until Wednesday. Super stoked. 8 month wait was a long time

Missed this post lol no ago. My nxs has moar reticle.
I actually swapped the mk4 onto the 300 and will put the nxs on my 6mm

I ended up buying a Leopold VX6HD 4-24 with TMOA reticle. I love it so far when looking through it. Looked through the ATACR and VX6HD side by side and went VX6HD. Couldn’t tell a difference in glass but liked the lighter weight and reticle better. Plus illumination is bad ass

thats a scope I would give a hard look at if I was shopping right now. My nxs is illuminated but I’ve never actually used it or any other illumination in my scope.

I’ve shot  about 600 rounds of 300 grain smk’s under my vx6 and no problems yet.

Save some scratch and do it yourself, buy some non res tags with the $$$ you save and go kill some stuff... no one  cares what your groups your gun shoots via  www..... at least I don't... killin is fun..

I seem to remember a thread a while back about this very concept.

I have and appreciate both the full custom jobs done by well known smiths as well as some hacksaw jobs done by local nobodies or myself on the floor of my garage. Whenever I can get away with it I try to avoid paying for aesthetics or a name and focus just on actual performance. I have Savages that I've assembled on the tailgate of my truck  for less than $500 spent on parts that shot .25 MOA when a good barrel was used. I've also owned $4000 custom guns that couldn't crack the .25 MOA mark no matter how hard I tried.

If you think of the gun as just a tool to do a job then I don't know that I'd spend the money on a GA precision. But if you think of it as more than a tool I doubt you'd be disappointed with one. Here's my example:

284 Win Savage Stiker that I built for $750 including the McGowen barrel and the muzzle brake. This is a workhorse gun that gets beat up, shot in the rain and snow, thrown in my pack and rolled in the dirt. It's capable of shooting groups in the .5 MOA range out to around 1000 yards. It's not fancy, I spray painted the stock to cover up some sanding that I did on it, and it's all scratched and nicked up from getting abuse over the last couple of years.


The 338 SnipeTac pistol cost a bit over $4000 in total cost of parts and labor to have Alex Wheeler build the gun and Joel Russo make the bubinga stock for it. This gun is more than just a tool that gets used and abused, it's a display of skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail.
 

Both serve a very different purpose and I see the high dollar semi customs like a GA Precision as more of a display of skill than offering any practical advantage. You could probably buy a rifle that would perform just as well for 30% of the cost but sometimes that's not the goal. I have to say though, if I could have found a way to slap together a 338 SnipeTac pistol in my garage for $1000 I'd have been all over that!

I Admire these rifles! And I'm addicted on optics. It's the main passion in hunting for me. It's pretty weird but I have so much pleasure when I'm testing a new toy.
A few month ago I find great thermal rifle scope ATN THOR 4 384 1.25-5X there https://www.atncorp.com/thermal-scope-thor-hd. It makes possible to record dual stream video and scope's thermal sensor lets you view and record at never before seen high resolution.
Is anybody used this site to make a purchas? They offer good prices and I like their conditions. But I didn't decide till now

Did you used your leupold with another scope? Does it work?
