[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 2138619, member: 112192"] Looking back through the thread Rich thought the max with RL26 would be 60-61gr so you're right there, sounds like you're not getting any pressure signs yet though? 2,900 is where I want to be, any higher would just be gravy so your early data is encouraging. I definitely don't [I]need [/I]to upgrade the Viper, it's just that switching back and forth between the gen 1 and gen 2 I really prefer the gen 2. My eyes have always been 20/20 but the eye doc has told me for years that I have stigmatisms in both eyes that are correcting my far-sitedness ... or something like that. I don't really understand what he says but basically I have two issues with my eyes that are cancelling each other out and making my eyes perfect, but as I age that will start to go downhill. He always told me it starts going south around 40 years old and he pretty well nailed it, I turned 40 last year and have started to notice a really small decline. Still really good, but I can tell it's not quite what it used to be and it will only get worse to the point of glasses / contacts but hopefully that's still a few years out at least. Anyway, I love the Viper scopes, at that price point I think they're really hard to beat.
