    Scope or Spotter upgrade?

    Re: Scope or Spotter upgrade? Hmmm 38 views and only one response. Stupid question or something? I take it the scope is more important but the one I've got doesn't suck completely, its just not the greatest...

    Scope or Spotter upgrade?

    Hey there, quick question to throw out there. I've currently got a pretty sweet rifle, with a Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15 on it. Optical quality seems fine, the turret adjustments seem a little bit on the wack side though, and I definitely have an issue with a lack of adjustment when dialing out to...

    Range Report Factory hunting loads for long range shooting?

    Re: Factory hunting loads for long range shooting? cool, thanks guys. I picked up some Hornady 155 Gr A-MAX today for cheaper than what I was paying for the GMM. I'll probably just end up reloading, but I'm not quite there yet...

    Range Report Factory hunting loads for long range shooting?

    Re: Factory hunting loads for long range shooting? Ha! Just to see if I could hit the target! I did a bit of 200 yard shooting as well but at that range, wind and ranging errors don't really make you miss...I will try more short range shooting for sure but would like to know whether its even...

    Range Report Factory hunting loads for long range shooting?

    I went out yesterday to my current 500(ish) yard spot for some plinking action. After zeroing at 100, I stepped up to the 530 yard target. I was not impressed with my performance. Only 4 hits on paper, and I'm not even going to say how many shots I took. I was shooting Federal 150 grain soft...

    Range Report .308 Ballistics with 20" barrel?

    Re: .308 Ballistics with 20" barrel? Ok am I just a dumbass cuz I can't seem to find Federal .308 in that calculator...I used Hornady 168 gr BTHP and got some figures. How do you determine muzzle velocity for your input? Might have to get a ballistics program for the ipod

    Rifle Scopes Using up too much MOA adjustment to get to zero

    Re: Using up too much MOA adjustment to get to zero It was worse on my last rifle, a bit better now. I have changed everything but the scope, and have new mounts (cheapish aluminum rail and leupold rings)but tis still wierd. I'm almost wondering if the scope is somehow f@cked. I'll check to...

    Rifle Scopes Using up too much MOA adjustment to get to zero

    So I've got this scope, a bushnell elite 3200 "tactical", not top of the line by any means (around $430 new I think). I had problems at first because I was using up all my elevation adjustment just to get a 100 yard zero. I put a shim in and it has helped a bit but I still don't have as much...

    Range Report .308 Ballistics with 20" barrel?

    Re: .308 Ballistics with 20" barrel? Thanks. So the decrease in velocity isn't enough to effect drop or windage? If not thats great, less work for me. I just figured that the slower velocity would make the round drop more or be more affected by a cross-wind. Not enough of a difference then?

    Range Report .308 Ballistics with 20" barrel?

    Lazy noob question here. I've been searching around the net and even tried the search function on this forum and found nothing (although this has undoubtably been discussed I'm sure). I'm wondering the difference in bullet drop and wind-drift from 100-1000 yds between a 24" barreled .308 and a...
