    looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

    Wind drift and impact speed are where the advantage lies, not energy.

    Horizontal wind creates lift?

    Yes, in ballistics we often call it “aerodynamic jump”.

    Rifle Scopes New Bushnell Elite LRHS2

    Yup, the 3-12x is shorter, has a more forgiving eyebox, and has better glass on similar magnification. The 3-12x LRHS/LRTS is my favourite all-around scope. For strictly hunting where weight is a concern, the SS 3-9x is my number-one choice. For strictly match-type shooting, the DMRII Pro is...

    Chassis/Inlet for Ultimatum Deadline

    Hey Josh, Any updates on this? Thanks!

    Chassis/Inlet for Ultimatum Deadline

    Thanks, Josh. Can you please let us know the details about the changes to the inlet? If it's just adding extra clearance to the trigger guard, I'll likely just get out the Dremel and get this chassis working, as I have a match in a little over a month, so would prefer not to wait several weeks...

    Chassis/Inlet for Ultimatum Deadline

    Hey Josh, I’m having the same issue with the Deadline action binding up when the rear action screw is torqued down in my ACC. There seems to be a ton of induced stress in the action, preventing the bolt from cycling even remotely smoothly. The washer is sitting between the rear screw head and...

    Rifle Scopes Zero stop shim sets for SWFA Super Sniper scopes

    Tim, So to clarify, which scopes have a voided warranty by using the shims, and which don’t? Also wondered about an updated status on shipping the shims outside of the US. Thanks.

    I did. Just waiting to receive the customized trigger now.

    TriggerTech Durability

    I assume one of the triggers you're referring to was mine. The problem is that the sear doesn't catch the FP assy upon closing the bolt vigorously, requiring the shooter to re-cock the bolt more gently. TT said that this happens extremely rarely on a Rem 700 action made between about 2007 and...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell and Burris current promotions are really good!

    No, it's not normal. I've owned and worked with lots of Razors, SWFA SS's, NF's, LRHS's, PST's, etc, and none of them exhibited this trait as drastically as this scope. With most of the others, you might lose a couple of percentage points of optical quality when dialed away from mechanical...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell and Burris current promotions are really good!

    For you guys that have DMRII's- have you checked the glass as you dial the erector away from mechanical center? I just bought a DMRII during this promotion, and the glass when at mechanical center is decent, but as you dial away from center it gets worse and worse. It's like you're looking...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell reticle thickness G3 illuminated vs non illuminated

    DMRII I had the DMRII-i before, and the reticle looked just like USMC 308's pic.

    Rifle Scopes 40 MOA mount too much?

    You've still got 10 mils remaining below zero. You'll be fine with a 40 MOA mount, or even 50 MOA if you had the option.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell reticle thickness G3 illuminated vs non illuminated

    Snapped a pic of the non-i version. Despite Bushnell assuring me that it's the same reticle in both the illum. and non-i, you can clearly see the thinner centre section on the non-i...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell reticle thickness G3 illuminated vs non illuminated

    Just received this from Bushnell about the G3.I notice that it has hollow crosshairs of 0.06 mil, but the center section is solid and 0.03 mil. The illuminated version appears to be solid the entire length, and I'm curious if that is 0.06 mil or 0.03 mil...
