    7mm choice in an SA - 7-08, 708AI, or 284 ???

    Unless you already have the short action to build with why not go 280 Remington? Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2

    Best Temp insensitive substitute for RE-19

    I use H4831sc in my 300WSM. And it has been easier to find lately. Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2

    Getting started Reloading questions .308

    I stated with the Lyman T-mag about six years ago. The only things you will need to buy that doesn't come with the kit is a trickler and dies. Has a six position turret so you can two or three calibers without having to remove dies. And it has arguably the best reloading manual available...

    Lasik

    I had PRK done last October and couldn't be happier. The healing time for PRK is a bit longer. But the long term is supposed to be more stabile.

    Rifle Scopes IOR Valdada ?

    I found a 4-14x42 with an illuminated MP8 reticle mounted on a Savage 10Fcp about a month ago. Paid 1200 for the set up and I am glad I grabbed it. The only thing I don't like about it is the side focus has very little adjustment between 0-500.

    Range Report Barrel length vs muzzle velocity vs accuracy test

    Simple concept really... Accuracy doesn't come from velocity. It comes from repeatability and a shorter barrel is more rigid allowing for more consistency. Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2

    Gunsmithing Precision rifle gunsmith needed

    Bain and Davis. I just had an action barreled by them and it shoots great. Eric is great to work with! I do not recommend Bolsa. Bain and Davis Gun Shop - Gun Shop

    Stock Texturing

    I used some Rustoleum rubber seal for texturing, haven't had a chance to see how it stands up to some abuse but it does set up pretty hard while also giving a bit a grip. First time I did any stock modifications. Time to see how it stands up after a few trips to the range.

    Range Report curious to know what the recoil difference is between 308 and 260

    My 260 weighs a little more than 16 pounds and has almost no felt recoil. Even with the break off.
