    Hydrographic Disaster PICS

    I mean no rudeness, but my thoughts are: 1. If you paid a premium for a dip, take it back with your evidence of what a dip should look like and politely but firmly request it be fixed at their expense. 2. I hope you went to them before complaining and looking for support from an Internet forum...

    Range Report .243 range question couldn't hit steel at 900 yards =(

    I was not going off his data for my dope.... I was dialed to about 10.2 mils for the range I was using Shooter which had me at about 9.8 mils, but Ive found the soft point bullets drop faster than match grade. Hopefully once I get the rest of my reloading stuff it'll get better

    Range Report .243 range question couldn't hit steel at 900 yards =(

    I'd have to check to be sure but I believe his dope has him at about 6.8 mils at 930yds. With the wind being erratic but mild, we just held over for wind as opposed to dialing it in.

    Range Report .243 range question couldn't hit steel at 900 yards =(

My buddy was shooting 150 grain (approx) .260's from his gun with a 21" tube but his loads are...

    McRee vs Rock Solid

    I have a Rock Solid stock. I've held a few of the others, AICS, McRee, but not shot them. I can tell you the Rock Solid is a performance oriented stock, everything about it is well thought out and seems to fall into a natural position. The adjustable cheek rest and buttstock pads are easy to...

    Tell me about .243 Win

    Re: Tell me about .243 Win No, it's fine. Modern powders will sufficiently burn in 20"... you'll see slower fps than a 26" barrel, but still just fine.

    Looking for a Bolt Gun set up

    Re: Looking for a Bolt Gun set up Any rem 700,sand down the stock to float the barrel, ss 10x scope, burris zee rings, harris bipod, sandbag rear. For caliber, .308 is the "standard", but consider also .243 because it has low recoil and will get the pills way out there. Don't worry about...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone use SWFA recently?

    Re: Anyone use SWFA recently? My 12x MRAD came 4 days after my order was placed. Only the rings I ordered were backordered... but they were shipped within3 days of me receiving the scope. I was extremely happy with the process and would happily recommend SWFA
