    Given the ease of mounting and available lightweight BUIS sets, I would install some too if I were using the gun for defense against a multiple angry bear attack.

    I've not peeked through the Swaro 1-6 before. Vision being the subjective and personal thing it is, do you find the T2 noticeably better for you than the Swaro on 1x?

    The appeal is lighter weight.

    I got the impression GJM was talking about the micro as a backup instead of irons.

    I spent half a day in a class with a T-1 and switched rifles in the afternoon to a Z6i 1-6. The Swarovski felt like cheating! It was like poking through a huge window and my times were faster even though the optic and rifle were heavier. The FOV on them is insane.

    I had the distinct honor to know Finn, and at a Jeff Cooper Whittington reunion, break two successive thrown clay pigeons with Finn’s Mauser .30-06 rifle. Probably couldn’t repeat it no matter how hard I tried.
    The Mauser 30-06 you mention may be the one he described in "A Professional Rifle." My favorite thing about it is that it was cheap--you could probably build an exact replica for under $1k even today. He updated the build sheet to accept stainless the Model 70 in "A Professional's Rifle Revisited," and the 30-06 Model 70 that I've posted about here several times is built to that specific pattern.

    His rifle I shot had a Leupold 1.75-6, if there is a picture of it in his book.

    Actually, I plan BUIS like the Troy ones that solidly lock up, in case you get one of those weather days when it is raining or blizzarding.

    I believe that's the one. The scope was in Redfield rings and bases, with a quick-release lever and base that had a little peep sight built into it.

    Angled or traditional? I have the same ADM mount and Z6i and the traditional will fold under the glass.
