Maybe you all are aware of this and maybe you aren't. MDT finally came out with a Chassis for the Patriot short action rifles. I couldn't stand it and rebuilt mine and dropped into one. Inexpensive optic but I'm going to try it,,,,,reviews looks good so far but the Vortex Crossfire II that...
For what it's worth, my factory .308 , walnut stock, placed first round hits at 650 yds. with the Vortex Crossfire II scope that came on it. Great value!
