    looks nice, what is the length of your barrel and overall length? I just use hunting rifles that are meant to be pretty and handed down. My old man says, "guns are never to be sold.... Only bought." (or bequeathed)

    I want to get one set up in 6.5 Creedmoor or 260. I like the viper for a good mid range cost scope.

    Nice pistol grip. I have been pinning away for a stock with a thumb hole. Seems much more stable.

    Can't beat the warranty. I've compared side by side the viper pst and a similar night force couldn't see a $1k + difference

    Glass quality is close. I got to look through a vortex razor, Nf F1, Kahles, and S&B side by side. I prefer the NF and I want to own a beast one day for a long range rig.

    Well isn't the saying double the cost of the rifle for your optics.

    I can get to 700 on the farm my grandpa owns and 500 at a friends farm. When crops are down my neighbor leases a river bottom to hunt and we can go to 1050.
