GM I just dropped that Vortex scope off at the UPS store to return it. It was defective. It wouldn't hold zero nor did it track properly. I shot it at 50 yards and got it sighted in then fired a group with known good ammo and my group size for 5 shots was almost 1". Then I shot at 100 and the group was about 3". I dialed it up (estimate) to try the 200 yard gong and I shot low. Dialed up a bit more and shot way over. Tweeked it down and shot low, another shot high! I brought it back to zero and I was 6" high.
I took the scope off and put the Leupold back on and shot a ragged hole at 50 yards.
I couldn't believe it. I have 2 other Vortex scopes on my high powers and they are great. This must have been a lemon.
I have a Mueller 8-32x that I just may put on it and give it a go. I had that on my Bergara HMR 6.5CM and it worked fine. I want to shoot this BMR at extended ranges. The rifle is capable.
