I have a Leo VX3 B&C on my 26-06 AI..... The gun shoots a little too fast for this system, so I zeroed at 300 yards and came up with my own distances on the hash marks from there.

I have a vortex on my 308 win.... zeroed at 100 yards the 150 BT at 2800fps nails every hash mark! 200, 300, 400, and 450..... all within one inch! Perfection =D>


I'm not a fan of adjusting turrets, just my personal preference

I also print these out, write my distances, and tape them to the stock of the gun.... too many different set-ups to remember :thumb

Chet, what rifle do you have in 25-06AI? I've got one that I love on a winchester action with a douglas barrel. I got a premier reticle made for it before they quit working on leupold scopes. DEAD ON out to 600yds. I agree with you on the holdover dots vs dial turrets. For hunting, I prefer holdovers. Glad to meet another 25AI shooter!!!----shooter

Wow, Let's see the similarities:

Both on a winchester action.
Both have a premium 26"barrel.
Both are glassed into a Bell&Carlson stock.
Both have a tuned aftermarket trigger.
Both chambered for the super hot,(and super sexy) 25-06AI.


I shoot 100gr bullets in this rifle because it shoots them the best. Currently I shoot the new swifts at around 3450. Before, I shot the triple shock at around 3500, both loads match my prmier reticle perfectly out to 600yds. On my first 25-06AI that I had built on a model 700, I shot 115 Nosler partitions at about 3300. Can't count the amount of game I killed with this rifle. Finally gave it to my brother when groups started to open up with barrel wear. -----shooter
