    Rifle Scopes Don't Laugh - Need a scope for a long range Mosin

    Last time I was out there, I hit the little 1000yd target 1 out of 10 tries. My shots kept dancing all around it. I was, however, using off the shelf PPU 180gn FMJ. I'm going to be using hand loads next time if I can find some .311 174gn SMK's. It's not an extremely accurate rifle, but that's...

    Rifle Scopes Don't Laugh - Need a scope for a long range Mosin

    I really don't want a fixed power, but it seems like the best option if I want descent glass without a high price tag. The only thing I don't like about fixed power is trying to quickly locate targets at closer range, say 100-300yds. I am very new to long range shooting, so this could just be...

    Rifle Scopes Don't Laugh - Need a scope for a long range Mosin

    It's already built and I've hit the 1000yd target with it. I just want a better scope. I have the same mount as the one pictured above (nice looking rifle, 0933). I may have to give fixed power a try.

    Rifle Scopes Don't Laugh - Need a scope for a long range Mosin

    The mosin is just a fun gun. Not trying to enter matches with it. I'm putting the SWFA SS 5-20x50 on my 6.5 creedmoor build, but I can't justify spending that kind of money on a mosin. Is there anything in the $500 range that has everything I want but in a second focal plane perhaps? At the end...

    Rifle Scopes Don't Laugh - Need a scope for a long range Mosin

    I have a mosin nagant I built to target shoot out to 1000yds. Ok you can laugh. It currently has a cheap Barska 4-16 scope on it that really sucks. It holds zero just fine, but the glass is so bad I can't use 16x magnification at 1000yds because it gets too blurry. It has no parallax adjustment...

    My last AR15 build ...700 yards with a 5.56

    I have a very similar build to what you are planning. I used a Rainier Arms Ultramatch 20" SDM fluted SS 223 wylde barrel in a Vltor VIS-3, Rainier match BCG, and a regular old A2 flash hider. I have yet to shoot it at any long range, so I can't report on accuracy. I can tell you that it's not...

    AR10 in 260 Rem - Build or Buy?

    I went through the same thought when I first decided I wanted an AR10 type rifle. I wanted a .260 Remington initially. The more I researched, the more I found that 6.5 Creedmoor was the better round for a gas gun. My budget is about twice yours, but I still considered the DPMS LR65 or LR260...

    ALG Defense triggers

    I have the ACT in one lower and a regular GI trigger from a CMMG parts kit in another lower. The ACT yields a 6.4lb pull and the GI a 6.7lb. These numbers were averaged out over ten pulls on each trigger using a digital gauge. While the pull is still heavy, the ACT is noticeably smoother than...

    6.5 Creedmoor barrels

    That krieger from Fulton armory is exactly what I'm looking for! I'd prefer it be fluted to cut down on weight a little, but I can always have that done later. I looked at the JP barrel, but it's only .750 under the hand guard. Doesn't seem like a good profile for a target rifle. If the Mega...

    6.5 Creedmoor barrels

    I'm building a 6.5 creedmoor large pattern AR for long range target shooting (1000yds). I'm using Mega MATEN receivers, so the barrel extension must be designed for DPMS .308 platforms from what I understand. I'm having some difficulty finding barrels chambered in 6.5 creedmoor. I've found...
