I was thinking about if 16x was too much, but in reality I will mainly be punching steel and paper at 200-1000 yards. Most of the time my konus is on the 25x power and I rarely go to anything below that.

Thanks for all the help, I have decided to go with the SS 16x42 with mil-mil. Also decided to go with the Burris signature rings.

.308, I am shooting 178g Amax's. I believe the drop at 1000 yard is 44 moa.

Hmmmm, I have heard good things about the SS, i guess going with this would allow me greater budget in rings. would I need a 20moa base to get to 1000 with the 16x?

I made the rookie mistake of going cheap on my first build with a konus m-30, now I am paying for it in lack of adjustment and unreliable tracking. As I am still a poor college students I am only able to pay at max 700. I am looking at shooting from 100-1000 yards and possible hunting. I am...

Re: To rebarrel my m48 or not? How much will the shorter barrel affect the velocity of the 7x57? also what do you mean by the bore being prestine?

Re: To rebarrel my m48 or not? My first priority is to make this rifle into my elk/deer rifle, I love how robust the action and stock feel and how natural the gun feels to me. I was planing on putting a scout type scope setup on it and keeping the original stock. I like the idea of putting...

after 3000+ rounds of hot, corrosive turkish 8mm my barrel is toast! I want to rebarrel the rifle to a 6.5X55 swede so i can get more life out of it. I was looking at ITD custom and it looks like it will be 350 to do so with a douglas custom barrel. Is this a good deal? I was also wondering what...

Re: rcbs seating die causing run out? I was under the impression that the forster press allows for movement along the xy plane on both the die and shell holder allowing them to perfectly align. This takes one factors out of the equation for perfect ammo.

Re: rcbs seating die causing run out? I bought the co-ax to eliminate alignment issues. I will try and full length size when i get my new expander. How good are the forster dies?

Re: rcbs seating die causing run out? I will try backing the die a bit. Are you saying to trim before is size?

title says it all, I have been neck sizing with the lee collet ( I was under the impression that this type of die will not cause concentricity issues)on a foster co-ax press then seating with a rcbs, about every other round has a lot of resistance when i close the bolt down. i checked were it...

Re: 1911 ftextract so far only this mag, i would also like to mention that it a bear to get the kimber mag to lock in I have to really shove it in

Re: Frog Lube?? how much is it? I am contemplating using Krylox ( I was given a 2 oz tube of it)on my bolt gun. from the specs on it it seem to fit the bill for best lube out there

I have a rock island gov 1911 with about 250 rounds down the pipe, I haven't had any problems until my last range session, with a fully loaded 8 rd magazine the 1st round would get 1/4 inch out of the chamber and stop with the slide still kicking back and trying to load the next round causing a...
