FYI on your X Mark trigger... Remington Arms Announces Voluntary Product Recall

I have a sporterized Mauser Gew. 98 I picked up used a while back. It's been rebarreled/rechambered in 7mm Mauser, has the bent bolt handle, and has been full-length bedded (action and entire barrel channel). It still has the original military trigger. It's crisp, but it's about 5 lbs. 6 oz...

No, it won't. It would be trash if it did.

On my AR using 55 grain bullets, a 50 yard zero is also a ~225 yard zero. It's also no more than 2" off either way all the way out past 250 yards. Quite handy. I use this setup with an EOTech. I don't have anything using a proper scope set up that way.

I wouldn't do it.

I realize this conversation is long over, but 420 FEET of drop at 1000 yards would be pretty incredible. Basically impossible to aim that.

Measuring wheel would be my choice. If you only need it once, you can "rent" it from Lowe's or similar. Don't remove the tags, keep it in perfect condition, and return it when you are done.

It can be done if you don't mind going with a used rifle. There are plenty of rifles that can do 600 yards. You can do 600 with an AR if you already have one. Old sporterized Mauser rifles can usually do 600, especially if they're done well. Remington ADLs can be purchased used for well...

Hurt my eyes to look at it. That's OK, because I probably wouldn't be much help anyway; I'm more than 10 years removed from my last attempt at German.

I'll be no help with the bag, but have you considered making the feet of your bipod bigger? I've read several people reference using a frisbee to make the bipod move easily for a second target, and I think the same could be used to keep the rifle above the snow.

Most of the videos could just as well be podcasts. When they are playing, I'm rarely actually watching. I'm a newbie to long range shooting, so don't count my opinion for much, but I love his videos.

See, that's the problem he just discovered: a mil is not necessarily a mil. There are apparently at least 4 different measurements for what mil is depending on which system is in use. (I didn't know about any of this until reading this thread.) Had the OP never bothered to look at the math...

I've been wondering the same thing. I've even been looking into making my own all-in-one thing to meet my needs, but I've no experience with any of the commercial offerings, so I'd like to hear opinions, too.

Two of the three times I've ordered with them the stuff was "in stock" when I ordered, but then one item was declared "back ordered" shortly thereafter. The first time it happened, I thought we had already agreed to a price, so I didn't do anything. They charged me for extra shipping when the...

I dislike Midway because you can't calculate what you're spending even when you finally submit an order. Will it be one shipping charge? Two? Three? One for each item I order? When I put items in my cart with nearly any other retailer, it tells me exactly how much of my money they will...
