Back to powderin' I have done my initial and refined powder tests and have narrowed down 2 or 3 loads to shoot for grouping. Are you guys shooting these at 300+ yards or at 100 yards? I think the longer distances would be better validation, but at 100 yards you reduce the effect of wind on...

Have you checked the Reloading Depot? There are some recipes posted that may help get you started. http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-reloading-depot/495-loads-338lm-50-cal.html

For those who are interested, I found this analogous video showing how to bed a scope rail: Gunsmithing Bedding A Scope Rail On a Remington 700 - YouTube I think I will go with a non-metal epoxy since all I am really doing is making a shim. Plus, it will give me some flexibility should...

I want to attach an Accushot BT49 2" pictanniy rail to a Manners MCS-T stock in order to provide an attachment point for an Atlas bipod. The forend of the stock is slightly convex but it does not match the concavity of the rail. I am thinking that I need to either use something as a shim for...

Great info. That XLR looks real good but I'm a mil/mil kind of guy. But I am leaning toward the FFP. With my NXS, I would use the high mag to spot and verify the target then back off to reduce mirage before sending the life-ending round. So based on the input here, I don't think the full FFP...

Thanks for that video, it is helpful. The only place I have found them locally is Sportsman's Warehouse and the SFP 6-24 I looked at is gone. I have used FFP before but never for varmint hunting. I think it would help with follow-ups after a miss, which happens quite a bit, for some reason...

As a basis for comparison, I have a Rem M700 .223 varmint gun that wore a NF NXS until I put it on something that sees more use. At a local shop, I looked through a 6-24 PST with the reticle in the second focal plane and liked it but am wondering if the FFP reticle is suitable for zapping...

I have purchased several scopes from Don over the years. He is good to go.

I have an extra ACOG neoprene cover that works fairly well. I put the cover's objective end over the PVS14's eyepiece end for the best fit. This is a storage and transport solution, though.

TNVC is top notch. Their staff is fantastic and they know what they are doing. I would not hesitate to use them again when I make my next NV purchase.

Another vote for Borka. The proprietor is a good guy, to boot.

Re: Vibram five finger shoes I found this article on minimalist shoes. Good reference info. http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-240-400--13691-1-1X2X3X4X5X6X7X8-9,00.html
