    Rifle Scopes scope rings advice

    Re: scope rings advice I don't think rings and bases matter as long as you get quality on both. I don't like the idea of the dovetail style rings. Nothing wrong with them and I know people who love them, but just can to get used to the idea of everything on a little pin thing. just old school...

    Rifle Scopes low or medium rings for VX-L?

    I have a Leupold VX-L with the 56mm objective and the "half moon cut out" low mount style. The only rings I had were for a rubber armored scope and had the little teeth, I didn't want to chance denting or messing up my new Leupy so I have been trying to find a set of rings, but no one here has...

    Rifle Scopes ring mounting?

    Re: ring mounting? I figured this out today. I have to send the SS rings back because they do not have a 2piece picatinny base for the Rem 700. so I am sending them back and think I will go with the TPS rings

    Rifle Scopes shipping an S&B legality?

    Re: shipping an S&B legality? what would be the reasoning for regulating reticles? I mean if someone wanted to be a hit man or think of taking long range hits on someone/something, they could find one in the US/outside US. like someone said, have it fitted with one.

    Rifle Scopes ring mounting?

    I bought a set of Super Sniper rings to mount my Leupold with. My Rem 700 ADL had a set of Weaver style bases on it that I planned to use, until I got the rings and realized that the "cross bolt" in the ring mount is to wide for the slot in the bases. I went to Academy Sports thinking a newer...

    Reloading 7mm Rem Mag

    Ok so I have searched alot on the web and here. Problem I am having is that I want to load 130gr BTHP Sierra MatchKings and 130gr bullets aren't the most popular. Most shoot 140gr-160gr bullets. Thats what my friend shoots in his .308(168gr) and I really like the results. So I have a box of...

    Rifle Scopes Tru-Glo? Burris? scopes

    Re: Tru-Glo? Burris? scopes thanks guys. however I think I will be breaking down and spending the extra $$ to buy the Leupold I wanted. I avoided them because I didn't want to feed a company that I feel has sort of been "riding" the name. There are other quality scopes out there for less...

    Rifle Scopes Tru-Glo? Burris? scopes

    Re: Tru-Glo? Burris? scopes So are the newer burris fullfields not worth the money? I have been researching and some people seem to really like the Nikons for the money and Millet seems to get some recognition. I don't need/want the target/tactical turrents.

    Range Report 7WSM? 7mmSTW?270WSM?

    Re: 7WSM? 7mmSTW?270WSM? Ok thanks guys. You have answered my questions. I am going to avoid the 7 STW. The reason I really like my 243 is because of the lower recoil, and its faster to follow up on shots for this reason. I like the 7WSM and thinking I will probably go this route, although if...
