Grey Ghost Precision will soon be releasing their second carbon fiber variable optic. Following in the footsteps of the CF-5 1-5x variable, this scope will be 3-18x. It will be manufactured by Kruger Optical to the specs put together for them by a team of former SFARTAETC and SFAUC instructors, precision competition shooters and hunters.
Visit them at their suite in the Venetian or stop by Booth 31000 at SHOT Show, to see it in person.
GGP will be formally releasing a new rifle at SHOT Show. We can’t tell you what it is, but the name rhymes with 6.5 Grey Ghost GRIM.
Here’s a look at it on the range recently with Scott Satterlee, a former SFAUC Instructor (now with CORE Shooting Solutions) who describes it thusly:
“The GGP 6.5 Creedmoor ran flawlessly all week. 650 rounds without cleaning – not a single stoppage or failure to feed/fire. Yesterday morning the shooter running the rifle [pictured] had a first round hit cold bore on 8 in. plate at 691 yds. As far as torture test and accuracy goes – that’s about as good as it gets. Rifle runs great.”
