I'm game but won't get home to register later tonight. Glad to make the donation!

Buy it - great value for the $$. While I don't think it is better build than my Nightforce, the glass seems like it is certainly on par. In a side by side comparison with a Vortex Viper FFP 6-24x50, I think it outshines it in internal, glass, and turrets. The Vortex may have it in design though.

I have had Seekins rings before and while they grab your scope well, they (because of their aluminum design) use much larger screws and block my horizontal adjustment knob. Here is a vertical picture of my last scope (now on a LRP) with Seekins rings. I ultimately ended up replacing them with...

Bolt Gun - 6.5x47

What height rings?

I have some glass incoming with a 34mm main tube. I didn't think finding rings or a unimount would be such a pain, but it has been. I didn't want anything over 1.2 inches off the rail, and that seemingly limits me down to just a few items. So, what did you use. The objective lens is 50mm or...

Am I reading it right, 50 inches of adjustment at 100 yards, which is 4 feet, 2 inches? I was kind of confused as it seems to read 14.5 meters at 100 meters right next to it. Assuming .34 inches per click, would I assume it has 150 clicks of adjustment? Bushnell - DMR 3.5-21x 50mm

Right or wrong, I use like materials for the scope rings and base. I have marks on an aluminum base from steel rings, so that is why I have moved that way. That said, 40 moa may be too much depending on your scope. For example, a 40 MOA base combined with a scope with 45 internal moa (in theory...

Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR with G2 reticle (34mm main tube). Haven't found any locally, and will need to get one in and mounted by March 1. Thanks in advance.

I think your custom gun can be had for less than you think. My build was as follows: Bighorn AW Action $1375 Bartlein heavy Palma Barrel $365 Accuracy International AICS - $725 Viperskins Stock Sides - $75 2x AI AW mags - $144 AICS Atlas Spigot - $68 Timney Trigger (SS 1.5#) $125 Smith...

Yes, I think you are missing the need for a second bolt for the AI AT because the 308 and 300 WSM bolthead are not the same. The DTA is set up to be a fully configurable system, meaning multiple calibers, multiple bolt heads, and multiple magazines. Built long, and works it's way back to 308...

Just wanted to add that a 7LRM should stay supersonic with the 180 Berger Hybrid Match out to 1500 yards @ 55 degrees, 1300 foot elevation, 25% humidity. Given the fact that the slower burning powders seem to be in abundance these days, a 28 inch barrel should easily get you to low/mid 2800...

First of all you should have an AW mag with an AW rifle, not an AICS. Secondly, You would likely have to have your bolt face opened by .002 to reliable allow the WSM and extractor to get around the rim. The WSM rim runs .5355, whereas the 300 Win mag runs .532. I understand from a few others...

Rumor was it was a Ruger 375 necked down to 6.5, with roughly 85 grains of powder to back it up. Rumor also has it with every 500 rounds of ammo purchased you will get a certificate telling you that you need a new barrel.

I think a better comparison of the SSG 3000 would be the Tikka T3 Sporter. The only think I did not like about it was the magazine system, but I understand there are a few firms trying to come up with aftermarket mags systems.
