    New rifle

    Re: New rifle As promised, a picture. Sorry, it's not much. Oh, and my best friends told me just the other day, they bought a Kreiger 6.5mm barrel for me so I guess this rifles life as a 308 Win is short lived. Now to start looking for components to obtain for a custom job. By the way...

    Gunsmithing So, I picked up a new Rem 700 SPS Tact 20" 308

    Re: So, I picked up a new Rem 700 SPS Tact 20" 308 Well, it's shooter. Using Varget, 1x fired FC cases, F210M primers and 3 different bullets (168 & 175 SMK, 168 Berger VLD), neck sizing via Lee collet neck die, I ran the full powder range of 42-26 (45 max for 175)grs in .5 increments, and...

    New rifle

    Re: New rifle I'll take and post some pics tomorrow. Ordered a 500 ct box of 175 MK's today. 'Bout have enough money saved to order a NF 5.5-22 x 50 or 56mm w/ zerostop and either MOA/MOA or Mil/Mil. Still trying to decide. I'd say this is one of those times where the scope definately is...

    New rifle

    What a find. I won a bid on a new Rem 700 SPS Tactical in 308 for $368. It came on Thursday, I mounted a Mk 4 4.5-14x50 LRT M1 TMR in TPS rings on a Farrel 20 MOA base; 10 lbs even or at least 10 on my bathroom scales. After 20 break-in rounds accompanied by a judicious Hoppes #9 and Barnes...

    Mk 262 copy

    Re: Mk 262 copy My own personal Mk 262 load development agrees with all the above plus add H4895 into the mix as it was my chosen powder since it edged the TAC a skootch in accuracy; 10 in 10" @ 600 yds with a 2x TA47-2 ACOG. I was pushing 2750 in a 16" RRA, faster w/ TAC. Alan

    Gunsmithing So, I picked up a new Rem 700 SPS Tact 20" 308

    I won a dirt dirt cheap bid on a new Rem 700 SPS Tactical 20" 308 Win. I want to use it as a base for a tactical rifle. I have the optics (Mk4 4.5-14x50 M1 TMR) and am getting a Nightforce soon. Am thinking 260 Rem, 260 Rem AI, 6.5x47 Lapua or leave it in 308 win. Any other possible calibers...

    Rifle Scopes MOA vs MIL: confused

    I thought I had this stuff figured out. I'm sorry to be asking this but I just got off the phone with a manufacture and now I'm confused. I'm saying which manufacturer. As I understand it, when using a mil-mil set up. You take the shot, and suppose you see the miss/impact 1.8 mils to the...

    Rifle Scopes IOR 6-24x50, Dead

    Re: IOR 6-24x50, Dead Took ownership of my new IOR 3-18x42mm in late April 07. By July it fell apart with 60-70 rounds though it. Gun is a 7.5 lb 30-06 Ackly pushing 180 gr @ 3000 fps. Recoil is fierce but tolerable. Failure sounded very similar to "ScO's; loss of focus and ability to...
