Match Pro ED vs PST Gen 2

I've been reading a lot between the Bushnell 5-30x56 and Vortex 5-25x50. Its seems like the Bushnell edges out the PST. Every review I read about the Match Pro, is about the "budget scope", or "budget killer" I hate the word budget. I don't mind spending around $2k or less for a scope, but couldn't really find anything around the $1500 range. The only thing I found is Leupold mark model, I'm not sure if I'm gonna need the light up radical. Everything else starts jumping up towards the $2500k mark.

Also I see a few reviewers shooting .22. My plan is 6.5CM this scope should fine right?

Any good scopes you guys would recommend that doesn't break the $2k limit?

Ballast bypass help

Past issue, I had issue with fluorescent light and try replacing the bulb with no help. I ended up doing some research, and it said it could be that the ballast that was bad.

I try to do a ballast bypass. I connected the red to white and blue to black. I installed Type B T8 bulb and it will not turn on.

Any idea what it could be?

It’s here! Time to fight off Shredder

Got mine today. Ninja 🥷 turtle 🐢 theme build out. What’s everyone running for mag extension? I have Strike Industries for my other guns and these ones don’t fit inside the magwell.

Light won’t turn on

My light stopped working. I took a picture of the light in my store (pic 1-3). Went to Home Depot and got (pic 4). Are these compatible?

Is this a good deal

$644 out the door. It seems like MRAD and the new 7C is the way to go, but this one was about $150 cheaper. After I got it, I started reading on subreddit that it seems like this price happens time to time for this scope.

I guess my main question is, is this discount worth it to keep this scope or should I spend a little more to get something better.

Can't make up my mind

A little background on myself: I’ve never really tried shooting long distance before. The other day, I took my AR-15 chambered in .223 to a long-distance range just to see what it was capable of. For scope I’m running an ACOG 4x32.

We had confirmed audible and visible hits out to 500 yards. From 600–800 yards, we couldn’t hear or visibly confirm hits. My guess is that the rounds just weren’t powerful enough. However, neither my spotter nor I saw any visible dirt kick-up around the target, so we assumed they were probably hits.

I have read the pinned section and have decided on a Bergara rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. From reading the pinned post, it seems like there’s no true “best of both worlds” option for hunting and target shooting.

The two rifles I’m currently looking at are the MgLite and the Competition rifle. With the MgLite, I don’t hunt and won’t need to backpack with it, but coming from a car guy background, all the carbon fiber definitely gives it that “cool factor.”

On the other hand, with the Competition rifle, I don’t plan on doing any tournaments or competitions, but I feel like it’s going to be a much softer-shooting rifle compared to the MgLite.

I’d appreciate some feedback on which one you would choose in my situation, and if there are any other comparable brands or rifles I should also take a look at. My goal is 1000 yard

I was at a match last week and this guy had a very simple rifle bag. It’s open ended on one side with a velcro strap that holds the gun in the bag.

First question, is this legal for matches or do you have to have a full zipper cover bag?

Second question, where can I find this bag?

I've been stuck on stage for painting for 3 weeks now. How long does this process take, also are the stages after that much quicker?
