    Rifle Scopes Am I going to be disappointed?

    Re: Am I going to be disappointed? Your scope will do very well out to 300yds and beyond. The coarse adjustments shine during matches where one may have to dial way up for long range, then back down again. The problem with finer adjustments is that one could get lost amongst all the clicks...

    Rifle Scopes Am I going to be disappointed?

    Re: Am I going to be disappointed? Could you elaborate more on what your plans are for this scope? An example would be hunting, target (if target, tactical/practical use? Precision long range use? Etc.) What kind of rifle is it for? What concerns you about the M3 turrets? Did you want a...

    powder choice

    Re: powder choice I've used IMR 7828 in 300Wby. and .243 Winchester. Burns consistently and produced good results. My experience is limited to the regular cut powder, but the super short cut ought to meter well. Recommended.

    Rifle Scopes Benefits of high end scopes?

    Re: Benefits of high end scopes? I can't say spending twice as much money will "always" extrapolate to yield a scope 200% better. Let's look at it from a different perspective. If an operator wants to have a scope in order to make reasonably accurate hits (determined by his own personal...

    Re: Barrel Floating Question Hello gents, I don't post often, but this one caught my eye. When looking to free-float a stock, just make sure the fore end is stiff enough to accept the channel mod. I experimented with a couple "cheap" factory rifle stocks. After sufficient sanding to...
