Quick Review – Sightron SVSS 10-50X60 and NF Competition 15-55X52 (2014 Model) Had a chance to do a quick side by side comparison between these two scopes while out shooting with a buddy at 850yds. The weather was overcast with sunny and cloudy patches. Mirage ranged from light to medium. Pretty much identical to the lighting I had in my previous review. The difference was this was only done in the field on a target. So like before, I am only concerned about optical qualities. We know the NF Comp works mechanically. Eye Relief: Win SVSS Although the NF Comp offers a fair amount of eye relief, the Sightron SVSS is simply….more. Not a problem for most target shooters as recoil is moderate to light. Again, I would be leary if mounting this on a boomer that may move back a lot under recoil. The March and SVSS offer more eye relief. Eye Box – Win SVSS Getting a full and clear sight picture was easier, faster and better with the SVSS. The NF is quite critical on eye position or you will loose the image. Certainly not as bad as the March but far more critical then the SVSS or S&B. Field of View – Win SVSS Both scopes at 45X When you do get a good sight picture with the NF, there is a sense of looking through a narrow tube. Again, not as bad as the March but definitely more “confined” then the SVSS. There is a very thick black ring around the image. Maybe a byproduct of using a smaller objective????...

When Sightron announced their new SVSS series for 2015, I was hoping for good things. Certainly the specs look very promising as is the price point… Yikes. First Sightron to MSRP well over $2000 (Canadian retail $2700). It better be good. 34mm 1pc tube, 41.5oz. 70 mins of elevation. 60 mins of windage. 20 mins per turret revolution. Certainly checking off the right boxes. A big solid, robust scope. The main feature that caught my eye was their patent pending side focus system. Looking similar to fine and coarse focus adjustment on a spotting scope, I hoped that it would offer the shooter a much better and easier way to get image into focus when viewing targets at LR. This it does and does superbly. By far, the best side focus system I have ever used on any brand or type of rifle scope. The glass also struck me as being very sharp, crisp and clear. But am I biased or viewing on a good day? An opportunity was offered to compare the SVSS to a couple of other top tier high mag scopes. I received the S&B 12-15X56 and March 5-55X56 from CGN member ‘blackburbot’ to compare. Schmidt and Bender, and March certainly need no introduction as a top tier optic. When reviewing the specs of these scopes, you can only see a lot of similarities. All have 34mm tubes, are high mag variable scope with similar range of operation and front AO size, side focus with exposed target turrents. Similar weight between the S&B and SV. The March is 13oz lighter – that’s a lot! In this...

Phil from Belgium sent some nice pics and results of his new Wby Vanguard/MPOD 6BR. The Wby Vanguard is not often discussed when building precision rifles but it does perform very well. “Hi Jerry here are some photos of my rifle and some targets for your customer gallery.

Hello Jerry, Here are some more pics of the PGW .338 Timberwolf as well as my PGW .308 Coyote. Noticed something, the .308 Coyote is missing your MPOD. Let’s work on that…..haha The .338 Timberwolf is my very prized addition to my collection. It’s perfomance is outstanding for all distances. For ammo, I use my hand loads of 225g Nosler AccuBond bullets, Lapua Mag Brass, Match primers and Hodgdon1000 Powder. Although PGW recommends the use 250g. bullet, they are hard to get. In result, with .225g. I can achieve smaller then 1inch group at 300m. The rifle performs very well under all weather conditions. Easy to handle and fun to use. This combination with your MPOD provides enormous amount of stability and control while performing in adverse conditions. I think this is a winning combination of true balance between the rifle and the MPOD. I strongly recommend your MPOD for use with any rifle. It is light, strong and durable and well balanced. Hopefully in the near future my .308 Coyote will also have the use of your MPOD. Thank you for your support Enjoy the pics Sebastian B Those are some fine looking rifles. I am very pleased that the MPOD is serving you well and obviously, shooting some very tight groups. I hope you get the rail for your Coyote. Now you put the MPOD on either rifle. Continued success… Enjoy and Thanks for sharing....

One of the best featured stocks for the Rem 700 SA Right Hand. Comes with superb ergonomics. Fully adjustable LOP and Comb – settings stay put. We put a custom rifle together on this stock and very impressed with how it all fit and functions. The integral forend bipod is not adjustable and has limited use but makes a quick rest if needed. We modified to fit a rail for the MPOD. Comes with a 10rds center feed detachable mag. This great looking rifle was put together by Terry of Black Art Rifle Company. The action was fully blueprinted. Shilen SS Select Match barrel was expertly installed. Muzzle brake blended to a seemless fit. It shot very well, averaging in the 2’s and 3’s at 100yds. Contact...
