    Rifle Scopes mil dot reticle moa turrets

    Well.........if tour truly using your reticle: by selecting an moa/mil scope you introduce an extra mathematic conversion from reticle to adjustment. The sky is not falling but the transition will cost you time in transition. You get use to it. I accidently convert moa and mils without even...

    338 edge load with reloader 33

    I was tempted to try some of these other powders but h-1000 is just too good. I stocked up. Now If they come out with "nitro turbo xs +p inxs" powder that lets the gun guide itself to the moon....................... Na, I'm good. Just toooooooo good to mess with.

    savage 110 fcp 338 lapua caliber conversion

    I think if I were in you shoes and wanted a switch barrel gun for 7mm or 300wsm and maybe 260. I would get a heavy barreled 300 mag or 300wsm , then buy a 338 edge barrel and plan on shooting the edge single shot. You would not have to change bolt heads between these two or magazines if shooting...

    Oh god! I stand corrected. You can wait on the trigger, Scope up before you go cross eyed!!! Are you feeling my love for BSA?

    Which upgrade first??

    Have you considered the stock? If I remember correctly the sps stock is it's biggest deficiency. I personally would do stock/trigger/scope. Foundation on up.

    savage 110 fcp 338 lapua caliber conversion

    Your overall length should not be a problem but the lapua is significantly larger diameter than even the magnums so the feed lips are most likely to be the problem.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3200 10x scope

    My mule scope is a 10x40 elite. When an optic or mount is in question, that is the scope I use to test and confirm. Guess that says something. One on a 338 edge and one on a 308win, no problems, great tracking, good glass for $200.

    savage 110 fcp 338 lapua caliber conversion

    You can order a large shank barrel in what ever contour you prefer, you may have to wait for it to be made as opposed to getting it off the shelf though. I can't confirm it but I suspect you may have to work with the lapua magazine to get it to reliably feed the smaller diameter rounds.

    Who would buy a Viper Eyepiece with mil reticle IF

    I don't run a vortex viper, still using a pair of old nikon 20-60x80 but with the inclusion of a ffp reticle in the viper line it would move to the top of my list.

    .308 16.5" vs 18" barrel? (Velocity loss and practical differences)

    I run a 16.5" 1in8 twist 308. Much to my surprise it shoves the 178 amax at 2650fps using lapua/210/43.0 varget. If your going short might as well go short.

    Custom chassis build

    Finally, someone is ready to take advantage of the long action tikka. I have bean really surprised the short action caliber has had such great support the last couple years and the long action calibers have got no love in chassis support from the main outfitters. Especially considering they...

    Rifle Scopes POSITIVE Bushnell Customer support feedback.

    I have to echo your statement about taking care of the little guy and winning a long term customer. After running a 10x40 and a couple 6-24x50 4200 on 338 edge rifles I was pretty impressed, I bout a "new, old stock" 4200 6-24x50 of ebay that was definitely not new. Six months later got it...
