Go back and reread. I specifically commented that it is lightweight and capable. I see you’re the kind of person with a chip on your shoulder. Perhaps we can refrain from turning this place into a back and forth that doesn’t help the OP. Let’s stop comms right here and right now to maintain a friendly environment.

Cool story, he was asking if it would be appropriate for an optic to reach beyond 1,000 and specifically a 3-18x. Rarely does a $300 optic resolve images well, eliminate parallax, and track with a good feature set for $300. If you have one that works, good for you. It’s a unicorn that you better hang on to. The units I own and others I’ve used do so as well as SOCOM buying a ton of them. They work and have a stronger erector, a real zero stop, parallax elimination, and knobs that have more than 5 mils a rev....I guess the new PST Gen II has ten, but those things practically fall apart on their own. What’s your point besides bitching an moaning about not liking something? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You need 6.5 brushes, not .30 cal. Also a pump pillow and a TAD or Accuracy 1st squeeze bag will do. Your sling is good to go. Just run it. I wouldn’t worry with a “break-in” routine. Just clean it well to start, when you start to lose accuracy clean it then. I’ve done break-in on barrels and just shot barrels and there was no difference. You do want a long rod. I like Tipton or Dewey. You don’t “need” a muzzle device, but a simple break will help. Careful, they can cause a dust issues. Check out Precision Rifle Blog. A lot of things are preference and it’s difficult to know what you’ll like without trying it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The mark 6 3-18x is an excellent optic. I have personally made hits past 1200 with one. They aren’t perfect, but are capable. I like the size and weight when I don’t want to carry the Hubble Telescope on top of my rifle. When the Benders and NF are too big, the little Mark 6 fits the bill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
