Avoid Valley Ordnance
I'm using an IJK scope on my Valley Ordnance but I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep it. I think the zero is walking a bit but I'll post more later.
Also, make sure you get a limbsaver or something like that to reduce the bruising in your shoulder. Without it, I couldn't shoot more than a dozen rounds before my shoulder was too tender to shoot the Valley Ordnance anymore. The Barrett and McMillan aren't anywhere near as bad (compensators are much more efficient). Could shoot those all day. Also, Valley Ordnance .50BMG will only cycle the top end Hornady rounds. I've tried 6 other types and I only get 20% to cook off (and this is a bolt action! It should go boom every time). Primer strikes are much more shallow than a Desert Tech, McMillan or a Barrett.
