I’ve got the Z6 5-30 on my all carbon 6.5 PRC I had built this year and it’s a great scope.

I haven’t yet. I’ve heard glass is good but not as good as the ATACR. Not sure if it’s on par with NXS glass or in between the ATCAR and NXS.

What's it do that a dozen other establish calibers dont?

IMO, 375 ruger is the only true major advancement in new cartridges since the WSMs.

This is what I have currently:

6.5 Creedmor
6.5 PRC
.264 Win Mag
.270
.280 AI
30/30
.308
.300 win mag

Guessing that you like to collect calibers .308 or under, so why not go one up like a man?

Definitely needs a .338 win mag, or .338-06 if he wants oddball.

Theres really no gap that needs filling there, except .30-06 just because its communistic to be a gun guy and not have one.

.338 win mag or .375 h&h on the top end, .22 magnum on the bottom.

277 Fury demystified

And I noticed you have a 22-250, if its a fast twist 22-250 then scratch the 22 creedmoor off the list as they do the same thing.

30-06 is a good one. A 10 twist 06 could be a fun gun.

If you want bigger than 7mm, but don't want ordinary, than might I suggest the 33 Nosler. 338 Lupua power in a 30-06 length action.

not really.

That's a neutered load for the .338 Lapua.

The standard load in .338 lapua is pushing a 250gr bullet 3000fps.

That article claims that .338 Lapua pushes 225gr 3000.
That cartridge is easily capable of pushing a 225gr bullet around 3200 fps
