    Need help deciding M40A1 build configurations

    I also would buy this book in a heartbeat, particularly if it included info on the original wood-stocked M40 like the one of yours that Rob shot on his channel. Absolutely love that rifle.

    Any experience with Aguila 140gr 6.5CM?

    Yeah given the current reviews I wouldn't touch it at that price. I'll shoot it through my CTR and report back.

    Any experience with Aguila 140gr 6.5CM?

    Well that's unfortunate. I was hoping it would at least be good enough for 100yd groupings even if it fell apart at distance.

    Any experience with Aguila 140gr 6.5CM?

    Just bought four boxes of this stuff, then see two horrible reviews on Midway, both in the last month. Was hoping that it would work fine for 100yd "riflekraft" practice. According to the reviews...nope. Anyone used this stuff before?

    Which scope? 3-15 vs 5-25

    I went with the 5-25 in the 7C reticle. I got some really good commentary recommending the 2C reticle for $200 less, but since this is a scope that I intend to keep indefinitely (no plans to upgrade unless my life situation changes dramatically) and I'm reticle picky, I went with the 7C. I...

    Which scope? 3-15 vs 5-25

    I won't be taking it beyond 300yds very often...once a year I'd imagine. Maybe more when work calms down a bit.

    Which scope? 3-15 vs 5-25

    Interesting that so many folks seem to prefer the 3-15 over the 5-25 for usability. Still considering that Burris but...the reticle does look really fine.

    Iron Sighted Truck Rifle?

    If you're stuck on a full stock and want a common caliber, I'd think that limits you to old American/western milsurps. And I don't think M1903s are $1000 anymore. If you can drop the full stock criteria, then the first things that come to mind are (1) a Tikka Arctic, (2) an M70 or other older...

    Which scope? 3-15 vs 5-25

    Spent some time researching this...VERY impressive scope. My nagging concerns, however, are: 1. Some confusion on what model is which. It looks like the big price drop is only on the non-illum versions? CameraLandNY lists it at $999. OpticsPlanet is up over $1500. 2. A lot of complaints about...

    Never knew that. Good to know!

    Which scope? 3-15 vs 5-25

    This is very helpful. Thanks. I was going to ask about the EBR-7C next. I'll look into it, though tbh that thought process kinda never ends. The PST is a couple hundred over what I wanted to spend originally, so I think I'll stop here. I will take a look at the Burris though. Thanks! EDIT...

    Which scope? 3-15 vs 5-25

    This is helpful. The weight is pretty negligible...

    Which scope? 3-15 vs 5-25

    Looking to buy an optic in the $1000 range for my Tikka 6.5CM. Pretty much settled on the Viper PST line. Rifle will be used primarily for riflekraft-type training within 300yds or occasionally shooting out past 1000 at a local range. Hope to get started with NRL Hunter at some point, but this...

    Building a "precision" hunting rifle

    Good to know. My only issue is at $150 it's getting into enough money I have to think if I'd rather just pony up for a KRG of some flavor. The OEM stocks are some of the best basic synthetics on the market...but they're still just a sporter synthetic stock!

    Building a "precision" hunting rifle

    How do you like that riser? I really like the idea since I otherwise like my CTR stock, but it’s so expensive compared to a stock pack or similar.
