    Rifle Scopes nikon scopes vs bushnell

    Re: nikon scopes vs bushnell I have several Nikon Monarchs and like them. They are pretty clear and bright. They don't have a whole lot of adjustment range, but the ones I have are 1" scope tubes.

    Help Cleaning a BAR

    Re: Help Cleaning a BAR I've got the same rifle and have found the instructions in the manual to be pretty good as far as how to break the rifle down. It takes a little practice, but the only real gotcha I've come across is getting the same pressure on the fore-end stud.

    Question for SPS Tactical owners, AAC-SD and older

    Re: Question for SPS Tactical owners, AAC-SD and older I've had my AAC-SD for a little less than a year now and it's been every bit as accurate as I would have expected. In working up loads with various bullets, I've been getting 5 shot groups around .6" at 100 yards with its favorite loads...

    Recomondations for an AR 15 varmint bullet ?

    Re: Recomondations for an AR 15 varmint bullet ? I run all of my AR loads to 2.26" so they fit in the mags. I generally run 55 grain VMAX's or Nosler Ballistic Tips through my two AR's; ones a Colt 6920 (1:7 twist) and ones a RRA (1:9 twist). I pick based on which ever bullet I can get...

    MOA from lightweight 16" AR barrel?

    Re: MOA from lightweight 16" AR barrel? My colt 6920 (no mods) has been surprisingly accurate. I'd have never expected it to shoot as well as it does. It is easily in line with the results above. I know of two other 6920's (owned by family members) that shoot just as well too. Unless...

    Nosler Custom 6.5mm 140gr.

    Re: Nosler Custom 6.5mm 140gr. I've got a box of them to try, but haven't gotten around to doing any load development yet. I don't think the listed BC is as high as some of the other 6.5mm bullets out there, but I bought them because they're fairly cheap and I've always had good luck with...

    7mm Rem. Mag load with Hodgdon extreme powder?

    Re: 7mm Rem. Mag load with Hodgdon extreme powder? Mine likes both h1000 and retumbo. I primarily shoot my 7 mag for hunting so it's seen a lot of 160 grain partitions and accubonds.

    25-06 load for deer.

    Re: 25-06 load for deer. I've had good luck with 120 grain Nosler partitions and H1000. Can't remember the charge weight since it's for one of my dad's rifles, but I do remember it shooting very well

    Hunting & Fishing On the topic of Pigs...

    Re: On the topic of Pigs... I'm in Texas and we're over run with them. I think the most dangerous place to encounter them is on the highway at night. You just can't see them until you're on top of em. I've killed hundreds of feral hogs while deer hunting. They eat everything and tear a...

    why wont factory remington shoot tight groups?

    Re: why wont factory remington shoot tight groups? I've got three and all three shoot very well right out of the box. My .22-250 is pretty picky about loads, but feed her something she likes and if I miss it's clearly my fault. Originally came with a wood stock, which has been replaced...

    .308 175GR ; Berger Tac vs SMK

    Re: .308 175GR ; Berger Tac vs SMK Hodgdon's loading manual shows data for 8208 all the way up to 200 grain bullets. I've worked on some loads for 178 grain AMAX's and found it to shoot pretty well. Not as good as my Varget loads, but it's probably the third most accurate powder I have...

    SMK's for deer hunting?

    Re: SMK's for deer hunting? My 7mn rem mag (browning BAR) and my .264 win mag (sendero) both shoot Nosler partitions sub-moa out to at least 400 yards. I prefer accubonds to hunt with, but Nosler partitions are plenty accurate. My dad has a 7mm rem mag that shoots 160 grain partitions even...

    SMK's for deer hunting?

    Re: SMK's for deer hunting? The thing about whitetails that consistently amazes me is how tough they are once they're hit. I've seen deer hit with well placed shots (heart and lungs hit) run for over over 100 yards and not even looked like they were hit until they just collapsed. I...

    Same load for Ballistic Tip and Accubond???

    Re: Same load for Ballistic Tip and Accubond??? I haven't found the Accubonds to be interchangeable with Ballistic Tips. I have gotten AccuBonds to shoot well in every rifle I have tried them in, just haven't been able to swap them out with Ballistic Tips and keep on going. I like...

    Bates/Danners decision help.

    Re: Bates/Danners decision help. I bought a pair of Danner Pronghorn boots early this summer for a backpacking trip that I just went on. They have 400 grams of Thinsulate and when I was out breaking them in, my feet were the only part of me that was dry. This summer in Texas has been pretty...

    Rifle Scopes Monarch X HELP!!

    Re: Monarch X HELP!! I've got Monarch's on a lot of my rifles, and like them a lot. My only complaint is the minimal amount of internal adjustments they have. My personal opinion is that the glass is better than the glass on my Leuppy Vari-x III. I can see through the Nikons a lot better...

    remington 700 sps tactical aac-sd. good ammo?

    Re: remington 700 sps tactical aac-sd. good ammo? The only factory ammo mine has seen was the 168 grain federal gold medal match load. Shot reasonably well, ~.8" at 100. I do a fair bit of reloading and have been tinkering with loads for a while. I've had good luck with everything I've...

    Is UMC Ammo This Terrible?

    Re: Is UMC Ammo This Terrible? I bought a box for one of my pistols a few years ago and was shocked at how dirty it was. I don't shoot it through any of my rifles for that reason. As far as your note on the bullets being seated short, I have a .22-250 that has a long throat and is only...

    .22-250 max load question.

    Re: .22-250 max load question. Benchmark (50 grain Ballistic Tips) and H380 (52 SMK's) are my current go to powders for .22-250 and have been for several years now. My H380 load uses a charge weight that is a couple of grains over listed max. My rifle likes pretty hot loads, and most of...

    Remington Sendero?

    Re: Remington Sendero? I've got a sendero in .264 win mag that shoots extremely well too. It loves the 140 grain amax's and the 130 grain Nosler accubonds. My dad has one in .22-250 that shoots better than either of us can, but it is kind of poky about powder and bullets. Shoots everything...
