    Rifle Scopes Need scope advice for unknown distances

    To the basic question of the primary use for the rifle - GET A LASER RANGEFINDER. The deer will walk away from boredom before you are able to accurately estimate the distance, do the math, dial in the hold and take the shot. But to your other question of do you need FFP. No, but honestly...

    Can see heartbeat bounce crosshairs a lot. Issue with the stock (PRS)?

    So, does the problem go away just because you dial down the magnification and you can't see it anymore?

    Bullet drop to mil confusion

    What I don't get in this whole thread is why any of you are even concerned with how many inches the bullet drop is at 1000 yds. Why does it matter??? All that matters is that your bullet drop is 11.9 mils or whatever it is. If one ballistic program says its 11.9 and the other says its 11.64...

    Love/Hate relationship, My new GAP 10

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think you can have both. You can either have a rifle that will 100% function with almost all types of ammo, including the dirtiest of dirt tula crap OR you can have a precision rifle capable of 1/2 MOA with the right load. In the 1st instance, to get that 100%...

    Love/Hate relationship, My new GAP 10

    Ah, that makes sense. I would have expected 118LR to work well in the GAP. But if its a known issue, no worries. From what 308Sako was telling me in emails.... he was getting some serious pressure signs and blown primers with factory 118LR rounds. And then later with the reloaded LC brass...

    Love/Hate relationship, My new GAP 10

    Hey Sako308, I hear you shot some factory M118LR through the gun initially and had some serious issues with blown primers. Can you explain to the group here what you were seeing? I would be very interested in George's/GAPs take on that. I would have expected M118LR to shoot well through that...

    What are your GAP-10 .308 favorite loads?

    I have varget, IMR 4895 and TAC on hand. Fed, LC and Win brass. Will primarily be using 175 SMKs. 20" barrel. Yes, I'm going to do a standard workup starting with Varget, since every rifle is theortically different. But was wondering if anyone has had any success with either the 4895 or...

    Barrel length for my Remington 700 .308

    It depends on what the gun is for and how you intend to use is. Start with your requirements first and THEN and only then decide on hardware that best meets those requirements. You may find after figuring out the requirements that a 21-24" barrel doesn't meet your needs or mission statement at...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint H1. Sent a 4 moa. Ordered a 2Moa. Should I just keep it or send it back.

    I prefer the 4MOA for this same exact reason. The whole point of a Red Dot sight is fast acquistion, not precision shooting. So I like the bigger, brighter dot for that reason. And again, if you want to be a bit more precise when speed is not an issue, just turn the dot down. Besides, you're...

    Rifle Scopes noob question about mil/mil vs moa/moa

    This topic has been discussed lots before. Read through this thread and all your questions about MILs will be answered: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-rifle-scopes/229906-understanding-mils.html If you are already shooting with a mil reticle - then get a mil/mil scope...

    My Two Options

    My impression from shooting several is that 5R milspecs are WAY better than .75 MOA out of the box. With factory match or tuned reloads, I think they will be well under that. If the OP can find one, they are probably the best platform to start with. Very little upgrades would be needed. And...

    Planning a build ... 6 CM too good to be true?

    Other than half a milimeter - what is the difference between a 6 Creed and 6.5 CM? Any practical differences in accuracy, range, wind, reloading, barrel life, etc? Why would you choose one over the other? I ask, because I'm mulling over the idea of a new build and can't decide between the...

    Suggestions on Remingtion 700 Build.

    Personally, I would go for the AAC-SD over the varmint. The 20" bbl will be plenty to get you well beyond your 300 yd range and I shoot mine to 1000' very successfully. The shorter bbl is easier to transport and just easier all around to maneuver. Some would say the shorter barrel is actually...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender "implosion"?

    Sorry, I was being sarcastic. They obviously are not imploding. We need a sarcasm font here....

    Suggestions on Remingtion 700 Build.

    If money is not the biggest consideration, get a 5R milspec and drop it into the AICS. One of the best shooting guns out of the box. If on a budget, get the AAC-SD. They will shoot very well in a better stock, even with a factory barrel. For what you want to do at this stage, save your money...

    Newbie looking for rifle

    To the OP..... for $1000, I would highly suggest starting with a Rem 700 AAC-SD in .308. From there, scrape some more money together to get a decent scope, base and rings (look through the SH optics thread - this question is asked at least 2x per day). After that, scrape some more money...
