    D-760 Vrs newer thermal scopes or clip ons

    Gents, I do some night shooting now and then and have a nice but older D-760 6x night scope. I'm looking at the clip on thermal scopes such as the Pulsar FXG50 and AGM various types. Can anyone give me some insight into what these newer thermals can do better than my D-760? I realize...

    Looking at Woox Furiosa for Tikka t3x.

    I'm trying to contact Woox but over the last few months have had no luck. I thought perhaps someone here may know the answer to my concerns. I'm looking at the Furiosa for my tikka t3x. The gun has a custom fluted barrel .850". Also what mag would I use? The same tikka stock mags, or is...

    AXMC in 6.5x55

    A little fact finding: I took my .308 and 300 WM AXMC magazines out today and did a bit measuring with the caliper. The best I can figure is that the 300 Mag at the rear portion of the lips is .7005 ". The .308 in the same location is .6255, or a difference of .075". I was able to slightly...

    AXMC in 6.5x55

    Not a bad idea, but I'd like to shoot the same reloads in my M96 and the AI AXMC. I'll take a look at see what the longest length would be in the 308 mag. Interesting option, thanks.

    AXMC in 6.5x55

    It's a great round. I've got an M96, 1919 that shoots 1.2 MOA with open military sights. I think in the AXMC it would be a very capable and easy caliber to shoot well. However, there are pitfalls to the project. I'd hate to get the barrel, have feeding issues and have to buy another bolt to...

    AXMC in 6.5x55

    I know at least one other has discussed this, but has anyone mounted a 6.5x55 Swede barrel on an AXMC? I've got an itch to do this. In my research this far it seems the. 308 bolt will work ( after a call to Mile high shooting they indicated that it should). The long action 300 WM mag would be...

    using old style powder drops for field loading

    True regarding the 38.0 G load. I was well low due to the fact that I didn't trust the powder measure, and I didn't want an inadvertent overload. I've now used it enough to gain more trust in that it's actually providing correct measurements. I've also got a Harrell's and an older Belding and...

    using old style powder drops for field loading

    Fellow shooters, I've recently decided to try my hand at reloading at the range. I have ( among other types) , an old Neil Jones powder measure. I've practiced with it making various drops, and found it really works quite well. My at home test showed within 10-20 drops and using a...

    Range finders linked to Kestrel 5700

    The search ended last night. After calling Leica even they told me the 2800 has issues connecting to the Kestrel, or better stated staying connected past 6 feet away. They said it may even have issues if I kept the Kestrel in my back pack as the signal has to pass through your body. I'm glad...

    With the 2800 can you use it for ballistic data past 800 yards when connected to the Kestrel?
