Good call on the Nightforce Compact. I bought 2.5-10X42 this winter for a 6.5 SAUM build, and was surprised when I found included in the scope box was a survival hatchet head that cleverly attaches to the eye piece, and an adapter that enables you to add the scope to the arm on a Rockchucker...

Last April a buddy and I went out to South Dakota on a prairie dog hunt. While we were shooting, the left front tire on the diesel pick-up the ranch had loaned us went flat. As we were evaluating the situation, a small squeeking noise came from under the truck. We quickly realized that as the...

My thoughts, too. I really like my X-treme Hunter, but now that I have the loads and gear really nailed down, I can see where this would be my go-to range caliber, especially if it were heavy enough to support threads and a suppressor. This cartridge is just a blast to shoot.

Videos were worth the wait :)

And the mystery video........????

That is a very nice looking rifle. Not just eye candy, either. Good work.

Dirt in your face?

Pm'd you.

After 30+ years with my old Lyman and Forster trimmers, I just received a new Wilson with the Sinclair micrometer adjustment. Took it for a test drive on some 6.5 SAUM (necked down from Remington 300 RSAUM) that needed trimming after three times loading. No collets. No pilots. Extremely...

+1. I have had shooters tell me there is not a big difference in accuracy between virgin reformed cases and fire formed cases. However, concentricity run out on the Remington 300 RSAUM stuff I'm starting with will be as high as .020 after initial die forming and neck turning. After fire...

Gotta love the dope available for the asking on this forum! Thanks a bunch ci11. Just the info I was looking for. I went ahead and bought the rifle on the premise that if the 6.5 mod is not workable, I can return it to factory configuration and keep or sell it that way. It helps a little...

Advice please. I have been shooting my Xtreme Hunter for a couple months now and love it. Now I have a chance to buy an Armalite AR10 in a 300 RSAUM, with the intention of rebarreling it for the 6.5 SAUM, and threading it for suppressed use. I assume the bolt face will be good to go, and...

I have used a 5.5-22 NXS for years, and love it. As a hunting scope, though, it is pretty cumbersome, both in size and weight. I had GAP build my 6.5 4S as a light, packable rifle for high country, long range hunting. The smaller (than 50 or 56) objective and lower profile knobs on the...

I gotta agree with KYS. FWIW, I got curious about bullet concentricity run out on un-turned necks, so I seated 6 with unturned necks and checked them. All of mine with turned necks measure at or under .001 run out. The six I seated with unturned necks ran between .003 and .005. I know it's...

With some help from Dr. Martin Luther King, and the cooperation of unusually calm winds on the high desert, I ran this scope out to 1000 yards today. Dialed the 18 1/2 minutes called for on my ballistic program and dug in. Wow. Was sure I was sinnin' 'cuz I know I was grinnin'. Gonna find a...
