Cabelas "Pine Ridge" tactical scope with swappable turrets was what I ended up with
For my XM15. It's been great so far.

Yeah huh?

I received an email that my scope order is delayed because they are out of stock of the mount I ordered.

7 - 10 days before they expect to have it back in stock.

I'm gonna look that up and see what I missed.

I would be interested in how it does over time.

Would be fun to have a .450b forum shootout.

Not sure how we could get us all together where we could all do it, but a great idea though.

Well, if you need a place to shoot coyotes, I have several large AOs we can go and CULL.
My creek is just one of them. I got 4 places I can go. But once the corn
Gets up knee high, I lose a few spots unless I want to work treelines.

I have a related question now.

My brother and I split a case of Lake City 62gr Green Tips. I can't use those for hunting, but if I sight in using those, then what commercial hollow point ammo will come closest without having to re adjust my sight in?

Remington makes a 62gr hollow point, but I'm sure it has a different ballistic coefficient than the green tips, and that throws the shot off. Can I go up or down in projectile weight to compensate and keep the same sight in?

Hornady makes a 55Gr soft point that shoots almost identical to
55 Gr FMJ Remington UMC. That what I'm using right now.

Good to know, thanks. So, perhaps the 62gr hollow points will shoot similar enough to the 62gr green tips.
