    Low light hunting scope FFP?

    In my opinion, everything else is looking up at TT315M. It's the perfect hunting scope.

    7Max

    @BCX. 7 Max is just a slightly modified 7 SAUM.

    .50 BMG 1911

    And I thought 454 was snappy.

    Is this what a new barrel should look like?

    It's a 300 Norma. You're going to replace the barrel in a couple weeks anyway.

    What's the magic story? Terry, what do you prefer in your 308s?

    Seekins ph3

    Could someone with a PH3 please measure the diameter of the factory barrel muzzle shoulder (see green arrows)? Trying to determine if there is enough meat for my Ultra 9. Much appreciated.

    Best caliber for big game at 400 plus yards

    For sure there are a lot of uncontrollable, unshootable lightweight super magnums out there that are just plain stupid (e.g. every factory Weatherby Mark V with those terrible stocks). But there are also a lot of really well thought out platforms that have good stock designs, sufficient weight...

    Elk hunting consists of a huge range of conditions and terrain, so it is difficult to make sweeping statements about a given cartridge's suitability. Especially at the ranges the OP is asking about. I don't think anyone would dispute that a 6mm can kill an elk in perfect conditions with a...

    Best caliber for big game at 400 plus yards

    You would be amazed how shootable a 12 lb 30 Nosler is with a TBAC 338 Ultra. It's a total pussycat that most people can shoot well. The can creates a very long, comfortable recoil impulse. I agree that ultra light magnums are very hard to shoot well.

    Best caliber for big game at 400 plus yards

    If you are serious about mastering ethical 400+ yard shots on an animal, then cartridge choice comes down to minimizing the wind call error on a cold bore shot. Drop is academic. A Kestrel is a useful but imperfect tool up high in elk country where the wind vectors are all over the place. A...

    People ask me why I don't like Sig.......

    This is a very enlightening thread, thanks OP. I was on the fence about an MPX, and this is great info that will sway my decision. Between this info and the 320 holocaust of a design, the current state of Sig makes me very sad. The P226 is still one of my all time favorite pistols, and my...
