Mark and Sam, When I purchased my Valdada Recon G2 last fall, I searched KZfaq and your videos withe the G2 influenced my purchase. Thank you! And if any other users are looking at the Valdada Recon G2, I highly recommend it. Mine is in MOA.

I just ordered this scope based partly on the two reviews you did on this scope I watched. Thank you!

Very nice looking rifle, love those valdada scopes. Cant wait to see what you can do with it mark.

I highly considered this or the gen 1 back a few months ago when I was looking for scopes. I ended up opting for another because of lack of info out there. But I'm super excited they're getting you two set up with one for testing and r&d.

Good review I love my Valdada iOR

Nice rifle Mark and great looking scope. I have seen some of the Valada scopes before and they are very well made as you stated. It should be a great shooter and alot of fun to play with.

bin using this one IOR Tactical 5.8-40x56 FFP, MIL CRUSADER and i am really happy with it

Hi Mark and Sam! Love your vids! Don't be afraid to try retumbo powder with 147's or 150's. Speed & accuracy are there!! Look forward to your results with this project. You guys are inspiring to many of us, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the info on the scope. It is FFP but I like that they utilize very fine crosshairs. I’ve always preferred very fine crosshairs. I even used to use a true 1/4 minute dot. Ah. Someone shortened the case of what I did with the 404 and later case formed the Ultramag. I’m sure they left the base of the Ultramag case alone. I have to base form my Ultramag cases 1.5 thousand for positive feed. Yeah that is a nice little case. Very efficient combustion chamber.

Thank you

Hey Mark, IOR might just be the ones to ask. Since they are obviously interested in your feedback and they already are using etched reticles, ask them if they could make a hybrid scope. Use a small second focal plane center crosshair reticle and a 1st focal plane indexed MOA or Mil retical. I think that might hust fill the bill. All indexing would be correct at any magnification and the center would remain very fine.

Hi mark and Sam, nice informative video as always, I have a question for you about the moa on the rails/rings/mounts, that scope has 150moa adjustment, so your mounting it with 75moa built in. Is that so the scopes dials are basically turned all the way to zero when shooting at 100yrds? Then you have an extra 150moa adjustment in the scope itself for shooting further? Sorry if that is hard to understand, I’ve purchased some parts to do a build of my own, already got some parts, now looking at a nightforce atacr moar scope, but yet to buy mounts, thanks for the info, it is really appreciated

Hey Mark, have you ever tried setting your rifle just right onto a solid object so that your folded bipod (front of the gun) hits against the solid object and you can't pull the gun back, 100% solid. No recoil. The gun can't move back because it's hitting on a solid flat object like handrail or window opening.

What bullet are you loading in that 6.5GAP-RSAUM and at what muzzle velocity to stay supersonic out to 3k yards? Or is it not staying supersonic? I’m assuming it’s staying supersonic since you are looking for accuracy at that distance. Edit: And IF it’s going fast enough to stay supersonic, what do you expect Barrel life to be with a load that hot?

Mark great video as usual I'm frothing to see how these 150 sierras do for you. Random question have you ever shot f class before?? I know your not into the competition stuff but man I'd love to see how you'd go pretty good I reckon!!!

Very cool Mark, I had no idea Val made this scope in Japan and was confused as to what the link was to IOR. I guess there is none, other than some small mechanical similarities. I use the March 10-60x56mm High Master with a Rechnagel (Era-tac) adjustable with the Charlie Tarac. I was going to do a video soon on how I use that system. I know many ELR shooters who have put down the big $$$$ and are waiting on the Genesis, which still hasn't shipped yet. It also uses an ultra fine FFP reticle, which is the wave of the future. But this Valdada seems to be a very cool alternative. As we all know, it comes down to if it can track across those 150 minutes! Let us know how it performs.

What a great feature set on a top of the line scope for what you’re doing. The 150 moa of adjustment sounds very appealing and I would love to get one or at least try one as well. Is there an email address I can ask you guys a few questions on?

Great information...isn't 3k yards stretching the performance of the 6.5? Awesome gun & video...can't wait to see it at 3k.👍👍👍😎💯

Hi Mark. Nice looking rifle and Interested to see how the scope goes for you. I like my SFP as well though can see some advantages in FFP for some situations.Bit of luck the weathermay be with you.

So when u said u ran the reamer in an extra .100”, you were referring to a throating reamer correct? With the new high bc sierras, where have you found that they prefer to be in relation to the lands?

Hi Mark, great vid, keep up the good work🙂 One small correction, and it is a common mistake, scope tube diameter has got nothing to do with the amount of light which can be transfered to the human eye. It is all about the exit pupil and light transmission (quality) of the lenses. Exit pupil is objective diameter divided by magnification, e.g. a 8x56 scope has got a 56÷8=7mm exit pupil regardless of the tube diameter. (The max. eye pupil diameter is about 7mm for a young pair of eyes, however it degrades when people get older.) The higher the magnification for a given objective diameter, the "darker" a scope will get. That's the result of the exit pupil of the scope becoming smaller than the pupil of your eye, it is not able to transfer more light to your eye anymore resulting in a darker image🙂

Thought it would be easier to ask here, I’m looking at your bag rider for the MDT-ESS chassis. What’s the estimated shipping time to the US

Hey Mark I am looking at building my first rifle for long range hunting and shooting. My question is on the control box when you set your zero stop at 100 yards but on the dialer it doesnt go to zero. Does that bother you. My OCD it would drive me nuts seeing that it's not on zero for my zero.

I like buy 40mm scope for my pcp but I can’t find any 40mm rings compatible for 11mm dovetail

Gday guys. Great video. Who can we get these scopes from in Australia?

At, do you have costing on this scope looks awesome.

That is one caliber Remington should have developed. 6.5 RSAUM. That with the new 156 grain Berger EOL bullets. That bad boy would be miles ahead of all others by now.

So is that kind of the rule of thumb with your rail and scope combo?? If you have say have 150 moa of internal adjustment you can run a 60 or 70 moa rail and still zero at 100 yards and get full use out of all your internal adjustment??
