    The glass seems clear but honestly not really any better than my Hensoldt or my ACOG. It seems very solid and well built! The illumination is ok, not visible in bright sunlight but can be used in cloudy conditions. The ret is very crisp and clear! Much better than the ACOG's non llluminated ret parts! The mount is very light and solid like all of Larue's mounts! Will answer the big question soon! How well does the LV BDC work with the SCAR!

    Out of curiosity, why'd you choose a reverse cantilever mount instead of one of the normal ones?

    LV reticle can be very effective if you take the time to calibrate it to the load you are using. The NF online calculator will get you close, then fine tune from there. Enjoy!

    The big issues with the LV is the loads that it gives you are factory velocity out of a 21" barrel in most cases. When you compensate for the velocity loss from the missing 5"-6" of barrel the LV don't match up well with most loads. That said I'm going to tested it with few loads to see where it gets me in the real world.

    Using 155gr Amax @ 2650fps instead of 2850 listed as standard velocity

    Nightforce Velocity™ Reticle Calculator Data

    Recommended Velocity™ 600 Reticle
    Velocity™ 600 LV Reticle
    Available Scopes:

    Part Number Description
    C296 NXS - 2.5-10x32mm - .250 MOA - LV
    C297 NXS - 2.5-10x32mm - ZeroStop - .250 MOA - WL - LV
    For Optimum Results Sight In Center Crosshair @ 200 Yards
    Hunting with the Velocity™ 600 Reticle

    No matter how sophisticated and "smart" our reticle may be, shooting a game animal at extreme ranges involves serious ethical considerations. We encourage you to do your homework, select a bullet that will deliver optimum terminal performance at the intended distance, and please remember that all of your equipment -- including yourself -- needs to yield maximum performance to make those shots count.

    How to develop long-range shooting skills

    In a word, practice. Then practice some more. Wind is always a huge variable; nothing allows you to better understand the effects of wind downrange than practice. Time spent in the field shooting will repay you many times over.
    The results of the recommended velocity reticle calculation are:

    Standard Deviation Format
    MOA Inches
    The following inputs were used to calculate the recommended velocity reticle:
    Velocity™ 600 LV Reticle Standard Deviation
    (Difference Between The SubTension In The Reticle And Bullet Drop)

    Optimum
    Sight-In
    Range 200 Yard Zero
    (MOA)
    200 Yard Zero
    (MOA)
    100 0.09 0.09
    200 0.0 0.0
    300 -0.05 -0.05
    350 -0.08 -0.08
    400 -0.12 -0.12
    450 -0.05 -0.05
    500 -0.02 -0.02
    550 0.07 0.07
    600 0.05 0.05
    Input Value
    Ballistic Coefficient Type G1
    Manufacturer\Brand Hornady Match
    Ammunition .308 Win Palma -- A-MAX
    Bullet Weight (gr) 155
    Ballistic Coefficient 0.433
    Muzzle Velocity (f/s) 2650
    Altitude (Feet) 2500
    Temperature (Degrees F) 50
    Pressure (Hg) 27.32
    Humidity (%) 50

    Please be aware that any changes to the inputs used above could result in performance changes of increased or decreased impact deviation.

    The Velocity™ 600 LV reticle is the best match. The error for this reticle can be minimized by zeroing at 200 yards.

    Excellent choice! Be sure to post some groups after you get out to shoot.

    Contrary to popular belief, I know exactly what I'm doing.

    NICE! I was debating between this very optic and the 3.5x35 ACOG. I went with the ACOG because I got a sweet deal on it from another FN Forum-ite!

    Looks great on your SCAR!
