From the shooting range

General question for everyone. How satisfied are you with Garmin Xero? I use Magentospeed V3. Thinking of buying Xero

Very nice shooting. I like MDT chasis

This is my first MDT chassis. I like it very much, but I am still fine-tuning the set up. The rifle weighs in excess of 16 pounds, and the bull barrel is 24" which is nuts for a .22. But it is so accurate. Aside from the fun of shooting competitions, I love that I get to keep shooting and be outside even though hunting season is over.

I have Magento and like it, though I never could get over having something hanging from the barrel. I just got the Xero 2.0 and find it superior in every way - features, usability, data collection. I think you will find the Xero to be a step up.

I don’t go anywhere without my Garmin Xero. I really appreciate the Garmin engineering. Glad I spent the money for it!

I did a reportage as a journalist a few years ago for MDT in Eastern Europe for a magazine dealing with weapons. They are excellent, I even agreed to be the general representative for the Balkans. I'm still considering that option

I want by 416 barrel. Assune the recoil is similar

It's not. The 416RM barrel is a 22mm Selous profile, and that's not optional if you go with a Blaser factory barrel. The 375H&H I'm shooting has a 17mm standard profile barrel. It all depends how you set yours up. My 416RM was as heavy as I could get it, where the 375H&H is as light as I can get it.

The 416RM weighed over 13 lbs with the scope, sling and 4 cartridges. It had the steel receiver, steel trigger group and kickstop that come with the PH model. To carry this rifle in the field was more like dragging a club than toting sporting arm. I decided for the number of times I'm likely to hunt DG, I'll do so with a 375H&H that's easy to carry and shoot.

EDIT - I hesitated at loading a third cartridge because the first one knocked one of the chains off the steel target. The second shot, I hit the swinging target and knocked the other chain off. If you slow down the video, you can see how close I come to getting scoped. I never did, but it was always a concern. Also taking into consideration that I'm recovering from arthroscopic shoulder surgery, a .400+ cartridge is not likely in my future.
