Recoil is surprisingly mild. However, I've shot a lot of 12 ga, 338s, 45-70s, 375s, and hold pads for people to punch and kick multiple times per week so I might be somewhat desensitized. I don't think it is any worse than a magnum 12ga slug or heavy loaded black powder rifle. It has an MCS-T...

I was on a similar quest for a straight walled deer cartridge that would allow shots out to 300 yards with good terminal performance. Most of the common options were lacking in performance past 150 yards. I finally went with a .458 Lott. (Defiance/Manners/Bartlein/Trigger tech/etc) 300 grain...

Sand bags front and rear! Barricade or prop would be more like my offhand experience this weekend... I was sighting in my new rifle and scope at 50ft and placed 5 rounds in one ragged hole...I was beaming with pride as I hadn't shot smallbore in over a year and was shooting a better standing...

I would say 1-1.5 is spot on. I tested a variety of ammunition (from cci std to R50 and Eley 10X) shooting 3 x 5 shot groups at 100 yards. My Anschutz 2013 ranged from .56 to around 1.5inch with around a 1.0 average. My 10/22T was around 1.70 as I recall. The three reps of five shot groups of...

I just purchased my first March scope (2.5-25x42 Compact Tactical) for a new Anschutz 1712 AV. I agonized over reticle choices and went with the MTR-5 over the MTR-4 as only the floating center dot is illuminated. I am absolutely in love with the scope and want to buy more! (close range focus...

I am very happy with my Swarovski Z6I 2.5-15x44 with ballistic turret. I chose it to shave 10oz off of a .338LM for elk hunting vs my NF 3.5-15. Complaints? (other than price!) The plastic illumination switch and caps seem VERY cheap but they do work flawlessly. I worry that it isn't as robust...

My Black Friday MCS-T in GAP camo arrived a couple weeks ago. It restored my faith in ordering Manners stocks as it arrived much faster than my last one. It looks great but the double dead fill only added ~1/4 pound. (I was hoping for more weight for my 458 Lott build!)

RRA usually uses cryo treated Wilsons although they have been running another brand(s) as well. That would be my choice if I'm facing time or money constraints. I suspect they would take it back if it didn't perform. I have/have had many and they have all been incredibly accurate when...
