    Which PLRF TO Purchase

    Ranged a rock face on a mountain side at 5487m a couple weeks ago. Hand held with PLRF-15 in ideal morning conditions. Unreal performance!!

    Which PLRF TO Purchase

    Answered a bunch of PM's. Vendors price has gone up and no longer has 15's in stock. Didnt want to post name (non supporting dealer). Sorry guys.

    First spotting scope - please school me.

    Had a Minox MD62 ED for a number of years. Impressed a lot of friends that owned very expensive glass at the time. During a shooting clinic I took we were asked to line up all our spotters in a line so that everyone could look through them. Of about 12 or more spotters the Minox was ranked third...

    Which PLRF TO Purchase

    Sorry for the late reply, I wont post the price but it was close enough to a Terrapin that the small difference in price made it a no brainer. I had it out this past weekend and am very happy I upgraded. Noticeable difference in recovery time between readings and less missed readings in...

    Which PLRF TO Purchase

    Recieved my PLRF-15 this week. Had a Terrapin briefly but the dealer I bought from recieved a shipment of 15's and 15C's that he was able to offer at an awesome price. I sent back the Terrapin and paid the difference on a new 15. Hand held I easily ranged buildings at 3900+ meters. Best of the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex RAZOR HD Gen II vs. Steiner M5xi

    If a person has the mental capacity and physical dexterity to loosen 2 set screws, rotate the turret and re-tighten, then they will be able to zero a Steiner Military series turret. Apparently some don't.

    PGW hunting rifle?

    I will try to post some tomorrow afternoon. The gun has been hydro-dipped in Realtree camo so its a little bit difficult to distinctly see the lines and form of the gun. It all just blends together. In any rate I will snap a few pics and post them anyway.

    PGW hunting rifle?

    When I spoke to Ross and Steve at SHOT I got the impression that they have not done a run of M15 (SA) or M18 (LA) actions for quite some time. You may wish to contact them and see if this is something they still continue to offer even if only in limited numbers. I have a PGW M18Ti in 6.5STW that...

    TRG-22 308 BBL Length.

    Same barrel, same contour, just shorter. Just as accurate but lower velocity potential.

    Problems with stability of Swarovski ATX 95mm scope

    I was having similar issues as the OP. I could not get my setup solid enough to utilize the higher magnification my scope offered. This thread served to help me with my decision and I could not be more pleased with my new tripod/head. I bought a 055PROXB and put a Manfrotto MVH500AH fluid head...

    Been Comparing 243 and 260

    I posted this in another 6mm thread but here it is again: I rebarreled a TRG-22 with a 7.5 ROT Bartlein and chambered it in 6SLR. I am getting 105's comfortably above 3200fps and 115's around 3100. I should say that those velocities are from a 28.5" barrel and pressures are acceptable (to me)...

    Rifle Scopes Mounting my LRS on a 50

    With the buit in riser rail on the BFG I'd say you could definitely use low rings and comfortably clear the barrel.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner 5-25x56

    I understand what you are saying about the confusion between the 4X erector scopes and the new 5x series in that the instructions supplied with the new scopes (for setting the ZS) was the same as the other style of turret. I can appreciate that. The bottom line is that the procedure for gaining...

    Finally melting! 6SLR Load development

    Its been a great performer (H100V), good velocity with low spread. My charge weight for H100V is 42.8gr under the 105 Scenars and 45gr RL22 under the 115 Bergers. The barrel is 28.5" and achieves the above velocities within acceptable (to me) pressures. Hopefully it lasts 2K rounds, I'd be...

    Finally melting! 6SLR Load development

    I re-barreled a TRG-22 with a 7.5 ROT Bartlein. This chambering is a bit more finicky than I expected. I did not have great luck with 105 Hybrids which is too bad because its the bullet I really hoped would work. Ultimately settled on 105 Scenars over H100V at 3260fps and Berger 115's over RL22...
