Nightforce nx8 would be my first pitch and in fact I have several on similar rifles

Thank you for the info sir, I’ll step on the gas more once I have the first 100 rds down the barrel so I know it’s broken in and sped up. Even at 2425fps nothing will walk away from it and it’s semi enjoyable to shoot though it is sporty off the bench working up loads lol

Got the rifle back from Wisner and as expected it’s a dream to handle! Decided to start with the Mag Tips as the barrel is brand new and they are cheaper for break in. Played with 3 different powders and over 5-7 grain work ups and they all were landing in damn near the same hole at 50 yds...

Anyone using the 350’s in their Taylor and if so what powder did you choose? I have a myriad of powders and both 350 TSX and Mag Tips

Vudoo’s are addictive. Mine was built for benchrest but I now shoot a little nrl 22 with it so it was sent out for some serious spiral flutes to lose weight. Not even sure what the stock is as it was a garage sale pickup that I stripped of paint and shot a few coats of 2 part metallic gray Epoxy...

I have several pistols I carry at times or certain places. Day to day probably 90% of the time it’s a Glock 45 with some custom slide milling and a direct cut for irons in front of the rmr as I don’t like plates. Talon rubberized grip tape but otherwise trigger and internals are stock and...

I probably have 60 or so Norma. Mostly 1x fired but a few virgins I believe

Not a ported slide but I have a Glock 45 that has a Radian Ramjet barrel and compensator and it indeed works as advertised.

EDC knives for me are usually one of my micro techs, Zero Tolernace or benchmades

lots of guys have killed cape buffalo with the 300 tsx and a 450/400 or similar round so can’t imagine a brown bear walking very far with one in its chest either

The rheostat dial for the illumination is on the left side of the scope and visible in the pictures (bottom)

I like the larger lens of the SRO. I would also suggest using a Jagerwerks BROS shield over it. Adds a ton of protection to the large lens. https://jagerwerks.com/bros/

I have a 416 Taylor being built currently and am debating what bullets to use. I do not know that this rifle will ever make it to Africa so it’s primary uses are likely to be black bears, elk and just shooting for fun. I’m currently leaning towards either the 350 tsx, 370 woodleigh SS or the...

My 8x68S shoots the 185 Core-lokt’s into 1/2” groups at 2985 fps from the 21” barrel. No pressure signs at all and a very handy rifle/round

My thoughts as well. Had I seen the OP’s rifle for sale I likely wouldnt be going down the Taylor road but already have brass enroute and dies in hand
