    .338 Lapua shooters, what's your setup

    Re: .338 Lapua shooters, what's your setup Well for the custom path it seems that a surgeon is a great pick... Given that I plan this rifle on mostly being a range queen, what sort of barrel length and contour would you guys suggest?

    Re: .338 Lapua shooters, what's your setup I've never heard of this DTA... can someone post a pic or link me to one?

    .338 Lapua shooters, what's your setup

    I'm contemplating what all to build with when I do start a build (hopefully by the end of the year). What did you build, and why did you choose the particular pieces you did? So far I was thinking I'd go for a surgeon action, a McMillan stock and a Gaillard barrel, but I know there are a lot of...

    Re: M40A1 take-off stocks You're funny! That being said, I do have some extra bottom metal

    Gunsmithing M40A1 take-off stocks

    Re: M40A1 take-off stocks Well... I guess I might as well just let it wear off naturally... tried acetone before and got nowhere.

    Gunsmithing M40A1 take-off stocks

    Those of you that have them, did you remove any paint from yours? I'd kind of like to have mine back at the factory mcmillan finish

    Rifle Scopes USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce

    Re: USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce I don't know the guy personally, may have met him in the gunsmith's shop once... it was his reamer that was used to chamber my barrel. Both guys however I know are very reliable. Neither has to make choices of bang for buck variety, so they will give honest...

    Rifle Scopes USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce

    Re: USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce Not soliciting opinions, soliciting experiences, there's a big difference. A friend of mine up here has a buddy who was asked to try a Vortex. He found it wouldn't track and returned it the next day.

    Rifle Scopes USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce

    Re: USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce Whatever I do end up buying, chances are I'll be buying a matched pair for my future .338 lapua as well.... Or at least very similar For anyone curious, this rifle was built with one of the USMC m40a1 take-off stocks, and I'd like to hear from anyone else...

    Rifle Scopes USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce

    Re: USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce Okay, to answer about the S&B, they're in the same price range as the USO here, which is $1000 at least more than the Nightforce or Leupold. Not dealing in US prices here... But in regards to the scope, it is simple lack of interest in an overseas product, I...

    Rifle Scopes USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce

    Re: USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce I could get a vortex, but they're not in the class of scope that I'm after. S&B is available as well, but frankly, not all that interested in them.

    Rifle Scopes USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce

    Re: USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce Paper or steel targets out to 1000 yards on a custom-built Lilja barrelled .308 throated for 175gr SMK. Yes, I'm sure magnification range is appropriate. Was going to go with a fixed 10x, but last time I was out shooting, I was acutely aware of how hard it...

    Rifle Scopes USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce

    Re: USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce that's a lot more replies than I expected in such a short time... a lot of happy USO owners, and a good story about customer service.. though I tend to wonder how good that might be for someone like me, north of the 49th. I hadn't heard about the Mark 6...

    Rifle Scopes USO vs Leupold vs. Nightforce

    I'm looking at purchasing either a US Optics SN3 3.2-17, or a comparable nightforce or Mark 4. In Canada the price seems to be about $1000 or a little more for the US Optics over the Leupold or NF. I'd like some feedback from someone who owns any of these. Thanks in advance.
