I bought one of these a while ago for my long range rifle but decided today to put it on my CPA as the LR rifle is is not drilled and tapped yet.

For anyone not familiar with these scopes they are an 8x, 3/4" tube scope with "no-click" Unertl style mounts.  They have 0.2" more range than a standard Unertl mount, and use POSA blocks.   I like this scope a little more than my MVA B5 actually, although it is pricier.

It really suits the CPA too, better I think than the 18x Unertl I took off of it:

This morning I took it to the range to test some black powder loads in preparation for the black powder benchrest match this spring in Tacoma.  I have to decide yet which rifles to bring .
 
Results were good, one of the best groups this rifle has shot at just past 220 yards, with 9 of twelve going into well under a minute of angle:

If you are looking for a new traditional style scope the DZ Arms 8x might be of interest to you.

Sure like my 8X...with my 36X Unertl for Bench, have the best of both.Pete

Chris,   justification to get a Miller with a BR stock
  Then you'll have a proper parking spot fot the Big U 

I use the DZ Arms scope for sihouette and like it a lot. I do wish that it would be offered with a thinner cross hair. As earlier stated I think it's a better scope than the MVA B5.

You guys have some good ideas. 

Dave I like the idea of a benchrest match ( or a schuetzen offhand match ) at the Heffley match.  I think a lot of those guys haven't heard a lot about these types of matches and it would be a nice introduction.  Les told me that years ago he tried to add a schuetzen match but there was little interest.  Maybe it's time to try again.  I would definitely be interested.  I plan on brining one of my CPA's this year so the guys can have a look at it at least.

I saw that you had a match the other day.  Not at Spruce Grove I guess?

With secrets galore, family barrels, and secret lube, why are you afraid to come to the coast and shoot Dave? 

Dave, If you can get enough bullets cast for all your matches, come on down. We will take up a collection for you.  It should be ready by Sunday afternoon at the prize giving in the Winner's Circle. It will be genuine Yankee Green. Don't worry about the Canadian dollar sinking.  You could bring an old clunker to sell if it makes you feel better, but I doubt you'll need it.

Tacoma isn't that far. We have doctors in the US now that Obamacare is in affect. And I know CPR. 

Wet, yeah  but never cold any more.  Hardly ever freezes.  T-shirt and shorts weather for Canadians. I keep a big golf umbrella in my truck in case an out-of towner shows up at a match

Come on down!

PS. Bring a few extra bullets if you aren't experienced in the Tacoma Condition. Some times guys take a little while getting used to shooting between the rain drops. You won't need  any windflags, but be sure to bring enough rain gauges to place in your normal flag locations.

I cast 60 more bullets today and hope to get out Saturday for more trials.  I will try to remember the shell holder for my RCBS priming too this time.  Had to seat primers with a cleaning rod piece and a hammer.
