The presenter also highlights a Strike Industries latchless charging handle.

What type of optic is recommended for a DMR build up to 700 yards?

For a DMR intended for engagements up to 700 yards, the presenter is leaning towards optics with higher magnification, such as a 2.5-10x or a 3-18x scope. While acknowledging that 1-6x or 1-8x scopes might suffice, the preference is for greater magnification to enhance precision at distance.

What is the budget for the optic and bipod for this DMR build?
