Spikes Tactical AR 308 on F Class target
I received a new scope in the mail this week, a Vortex HST 6 x 25, this piece of glass is pretty nice! I mounted it on my home assembled Spikes Tactical AR 308, decided I would try it against the F Class bolt gunners this week, if I had a chance.
After shooting two matches with my match LRB M14, I pulled out the Spikes 308 and went to work. I shot two spotters, was very close to the X ring, made an adjustment, then started the first of twenty more.
First, I just have to say, that glass turned up to 25X, really makes a difference, but you need it to be competitive in F Class, because the scoring rings are half the size of the regular 600 yard high power target!
I shot a 194, the group size was 8.22 inches at 600 yards! That is 1.37 MOA!

Nice.
I love Vortex optics, what free float tube do you have on the Spikes?

The free float tube is from Midwest Industries, they have some good quality products.
