    Hornady 140 ELD-M Inventory Dried Up

    It's not just the 140s. I can't find the 147s in stock anywhere either. Like many others, I picked up some 140 rdfs... and now those are also on back order. Pretty clear sign that the 6.5s have gained a lot in popularity.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen II

    It's not glossy. It has a satin finish (think indoor house paint, flat vs satin). I have other scopes with this satin finish. Doesn't bother me one bit..

    Uploaded a quick video of my pst gen2. You get a good look at the turrets and also the illuminated reticle at 1, 5, and 10 power:

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen II

    I had the same problem with the website. It says on the website to call if the coupon doesn't work, which I did and placed the order with the discount over the phone.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen II

    Yep, I had one on order with them through promotive for the mil discount. Got a message last week saying the wait time would be another 2-4 months. Going through promotive, I was also getting hit with sales tax, that took a significant chunk out of the discount. I canceled the order and went...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen II

    Mine came in today. All I have to compare it to is my 6-24x50 HST. From just handling it the glass defiantly looks better than Gen 1. The turrets are also very nice.. big improvement over gen1. Looking forward to getting this mounted. Hopefully I can hit the range this weekend.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen II

    Thanks for the tip. Just ordered the 5-25 sfp through Sport Optics. I had one ordered through promotive but got a notice yesterday that it was still 2-4 months out. Sport Optics 10% off closed the distance on the mil/le discount that it was worth paying a little extra to get it now. I'll...

    Rapid fire shooting with Krag M94

    Seeing stuff like this really makes me question the whole Krag vs Mauser issue in the Spanish American war. I've always heard that the American troops were severely out matched my the Spaniards and their Mausers.. and that they were only able to hold their own with civil war era Gatling guns...

    Mosin Sniper real testing...

    Nice clip.. I subbed.. love those milsurps. Been thinking about picking up a second mosin and converting it to a PU sniper. I have a few milsurp videos on my youtube page: GarandThumb - YouTube What camera are you using to record those long range shots?

    Popped my vintage rifle cherry today...

    I just picked up one of these last month. Awesome rifle.. such a smooth action. I've been shooting the privi stuff. The price is not bad and you get boxer brass for reloads. I did notice that the privi rounds had lighter recoil that I was expecting. Also they shot low. I'm assuming they...

    Savage 11 .243 Barrel Replacement

    I did what you are asking last year and documented it the process on YouTube. As previously stated, you can swap out the barrel but you will either need to open out the channel in your current stock or buy a new stock that can accommodate the thicker barrel. In regards to changing the...

    Need opinions for savage build

    Those B&C medalist stocks are heavy. Even after cutting down or swapping out the barrel it's still going to be a heavy rifle to take on a hunt. For ~$350ish i would just pick up a second rifle as a cheap hunting rifle and leave this one as your range toy. You can pick up a Savage Axis or...

    precision rifles... show em

    Thanks. I documented my build on youtube: Budget Long Range Rifle build - YouTube You must have picked up those extra stevens from Academy. :) I ran into one guy who had one chambered in 338-06. That was a sweet rifle with very manageable recoil. If I ever get the 338 bug.. I might go...

    Rifle Scopes Scope ideas on a budget

    Check out a standard Vortex Viper 6.5-20x(44mm or 50mm) Since your stated use is 500+ yards you'll appreciate the ~65 MOA adjustment range.

    Bell and Carlson A2 savage, w/ detachable magazine?

    My understanding is no. There are a few places like CDI that will inlet the stock and install their own bottom metal on your b&c stock. CDiPrecision Gunworks
