    I don't know if the pre-64s are any better, I know people much prefer the pre-64 model 70 bolt action but no idea for lever actions, though there does seem to be a preference for those made in New...

    Moa Hunter liked post by Cigar On thread : VX3i CDS scope advice please
    With the SOD i find it easier to work in MOA rather than clicks, because that what marked on the dial. E.g. 3.25 MOA rather than 13 clicks for 300m, I just dial to one click past the 3 on the dial....

    I have a non-CDS vx3i 2.5-8x36, I recently added a Leupold SOD (screw on dial) with zero stop, I like it so far. I think the turret would be lower on a proper CDS scope though for a similar total...

    I had a bit of a play in the shed. Hornady shellholder on Lyman priming tool, noticeably larger hole, and plunger reaches flush at best. Shellholder 0.385 inches thick (bottom to where face of case...
