    Recoil Control For Load Development - Hunting Rifle

    I put together a .45 Raptor bolt action rifle this year to use for Whitetail hunting in Michigan. I have been trying to do load development, but I am not getting the results I was hoping for. I'm not sure if my shooting is to blame, or if I just haven't found the right combo yet. Any...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    This is an awesome build! Props to you for getting/keeping your kid involved!! I need to try to save up to do something like this for my wife. She is pretty small frame, and the package you put together here looks perfect for someone her size.

    Should I be able to get away with a 40 MOA mount, and still attain a 100 yard zero?

    Rifle Scopes Steiner P4Xi 4-16 x 56 on Bighorn Origin - Scope Mount

    Those are valid reasons, and I haven't ruled Spuhr out yet. I've just never ventured toward higher end scope mounts, I usually used like $60 chunky aluminum rings, but this time I want to use better equipment where it makes sense.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner P4Xi 4-16 x 56 on Bighorn Origin - Scope Mount

    One of the things that I am fighting with myself over is that a one-piece mount provides a built in level and the tools to level the scope to the gun, whereas with rings, I will need to install the level separately. But is it worth it to have the mount over rings....

    Rifle Scopes Steiner P4Xi 4-16 x 56 on Bighorn Origin - Scope Mount

    I was looking at the RRS mount. I like that the design is more minimalist than the Spuhr (although those look as robust as can be), but I am not sure if the 1.26" height will be low enough...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner P4Xi 4-16 x 56 on Bighorn Origin - Scope Mount

    I will be mounting a Steiner P4Xi on a Bighorn Origin action soon. What are some recommendations on scope mount vs rings, and what height? I think I want to keep it as relatively low as possible to the barrel. Thanks

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    Anyone using the RRS 34mm mount on your Origin? I have an Origin action on the way, as well as a Steiner P4xi 4-16 x 56 optic. I'd like to not have an overly large gap between the objective and my barrel (so as to keep a lower cheek-weld scenario). I am considering the RRS mount because it...

    .45 Raptor - Looking For Load Info

    To provide a little additional info in the direction I am heading: I am looking to load 250 gr. Speer DeepCurls for general shooting, and to load 275 gr. Barnes TSX for Whitetail hunting. I have some Ramshot Enforcer on hand that I'll probably start out with as far a powder goes.
