    Got both back from Leupold/NIOA today. Just on 2 weeks, so great service and turnaround. Also gave me a new set of lense caps and Allen key after misplacing the last set. Great customer support.

    While all the talk here is seating out further, you may find a sweet spot further back that 20 thou off the lands. I.e. more jump.

    Some .375’s have a very long action so need to match tube length with mount spacing. On my .375’s I have use fixed 3 and 4 powers and low powered variables 1.5 - 5 and 2-7x leupold mostly.

    I’ve sent Leupold, Kahles, Swaro and Zeiss back for repairs. Other brands have often gone into the recycling. It happens, it’s the back up service or not and ease of access that counts. Haven’t sent...

    Hard loaded you’ll get 2900+fps in a 21. No chance of 2950+ with factory 130 ammo in a short tube or likely even longer ones with most tailor mades . But a 130 at 2850 works a treat!

    PhilH, I reckon the Italian mincers like Reber have standard size dies and cutters. Replacement parts should be no drama. Try over here, plenty of Italian mincers being sold.
