    Rifle Scopes The truth about Leupold thread

    I owned a VXL scope that stood up to a .300 WM without a break for 3 years. Optics were good for what I paid. The illuminated reticle bled a lot though. I really like how low it mounted.

    Fat man running, what shoes?

    I am fat and run in the same shoe I lift in. New Balance minimus (sp?). Learn the pose running method. Also I prefer to walk for low intensity and do hill sprint for high intensity. Long distance running with excess body weight = hell on your joints.

    Lifters?

    That is Def BEAST MODE. I am not much for equipped lifts I prefer to lift Raw but I don't plan on power lifting as a sport I just to it to get strong as possible. After crossfit/P90X I think power lifting/strong is about as functional as you can get.

    Barrel length for 338 Lapua at ELR

    I use the OCW load development method and have found that On short barrel the accuracy nodes are closer together than on longer barrels. Bare in mind I have only done OCW on 5 rifles so my body of experience is limited. An odd exception was on my .300 WM with a Krieger MTU shooting 208 Amax's...

    Had a mini, very reliable. Piss poor accuracy. Did a trigger Job new stock. Helped a little. IMO not worth the effort for accuracy.
