I’ll take this. PM sent

I’ll take the barreled action and rail per PMs. Thank you.

Sounds good, I’d be willing to trade for those bullets or Hornady 300 Blackout 190 Sub-x loaded ammunition. Thank you much.

Happen to have any 6.5 ELD match 147g bullets to trade?

If $250 shipped I will take it.

Seconds if for any reason it falls through.

Great forum, all very helpful. Measuring the CBTO with the comparator got me on the right track (and out shooting) and I’ve gone back now based on all this information and duplicated the results using COL as well. Amazing how understanding the concepts makes executing the process easy. My...

I’ll take it. PM sent.

Re: Need advise on a scope for under $1000 Another vote for Sightron 8-32. Have it on a 6.5x284. Happy with the quality for the lower price compared to similar Leupold or Nightforce.

Re: Best Benchrest Scopes I have an 8-32 SIII Sightron that I think is a great deal for the price... Just my $.02. I got the model below with the .1 Mil adjustments and Mil dot reticle. http://info.sightron.com/Riflescopes/SIII-Series/SIIISS832X56LRMD-CM/ They also have a 10-50 but it is...
