Re: Barska or Vortex +1 more for Vortex I really like my Viper, it's a great value.

Re: 338 Norma Magnum Does anyone know where I can get a bushing die for the .338 NM ? I've looked on the Internet but seems no one offers one standard, I guess I'll have to order it custom if I can't find any alternative.

Re: 338 Norma Magnum Photo of my .338 Norma Mag pistol built by Robert Snyder of RWS. 96 grains of N570 pushing 250 Sierra MK's yielded 2964 fps from my 23 inch Benchmark barrel. That's a max load. Flat primer but no trouble with bolt lift, no extractor marks, and no case head expansion...
