High end Vortex optic, model is stated on vid below.
Because Billy cares enough to send the very best, his 375 CheyTac load for his rifle was a 350 gr. Hooker Tactical solid copper nickle bullet with a BC of .839 and 136.5 grains of Retumbo at 3125 fps. Fed GM215's sparked the massive load of propellant.
Billy had the scope maxed out. It has a 35 Moa base. The scope has 125 Moa in adjustment. He had to put the target in the very bottom of the ocular. The crosshairs have 35 Moa.
We had our Patriot's Day event that weekend over the hill on the Coors Range, but heard of this from the NRA WC's Assistant Executive Program Director, Robbie Roberts, as we were doing our AAR with NRA WC staff.
The NRAWC face book page has more details/pics along with a couple of pics of our shoot.

Awesome. Congrats Billy. O0 Does he have a hat yet? ;D
Wow, wonder if that is the owner of "Carters Country" outdoor/gun stores in the Houston area. Does that make him a 10x rifleman since the target was 0.4 MOA? I guess he would have to get five in a row for that :)
If it is the same guy, I am glad he enjoys his long range rifles because he is no fan of semi auto guns at his range. He charges extra for rifles with pistol grips, detachable mags, etc and also was part of a group that tried to ban gun shows in Houston..... Oh, he also supported the 1994 AWB. Might be better off not to give him a hat... at least until he gets his mind right. I like his shirt though.
His stores were also involved with Fast and Furious.....
Ug, and a bit more research on the "rumor-net" says he calls gun shows the "scourge of the industry".
I will have to have a quick aside chat with WC staff this week about this.
