    Rifle Scopes S&B sudden price drop??

    There's information....on the Scout Hide, I believe....that said S&B was trimming down the many options they offer in their scope lines. Evidently they must have noticed a market share drop and / or consumer complaints about their prices. In any event......I think this is a strong move for...

    Vortex Razor 27-6-x85 vs Meopta HD 80

    I've not looked through the newest Razor.....I'm sure it's an excellent spotter. I went with the Meopta S2 82 HD. The Meopta is an outstanding spotter for the money, IMHO. I think Meopta compares favorably to spotters with names that start with "Z" or "S". You'd probably be extremely happy with...

    Remington 700 SS R5 Mil Spec

    I have one......which has since had a makeover. In stock form......it was the most accurate factory rifle I've owned. I purchased mine 6-8 years ago. With FGM 175 gr. SMK's it was an easy 1/2 moa rifle if I did my part. Not sure what the quality is like now....

    Building a rifle similar to the EDM Windrunner

    You would have to contact Pierce on this system.......but it appears you should be able to swap barrels very easily: http://www.gotxring.com/new-pierceel...-rifle-system/

    Rifle Scopes I must be full of shit.

    I think it was obvious you were ........under the weather.......and not very composed at that time. I think most of us have asked similar questions regarding the ever increasing cost of equipment for our sport.....and at what point does it become throwing money away. As folks have pointed...

    Rifle Scopes Starting think you guys are full of shit

    I thought Super Counter Sniper had fully mined all of the Unobtainium that they could find on Pluto. Maybe they found some on Mars......and we can still purchase one of these beauties new?? Not really fair to include this scope with far inferior scopes that are $1500 or less. I'm sure the...

    Sold Nosler RDF 140gn 6.5mm (415.00 Shipped)

    I'll take second....if the first deal doesn't pan out.

    Should I shoot a 6mm

    Instead of the 6mm CM.......why not consider a 6mm Dasher? This round will compete with any 6mm round and use less powder. I was doubtful until I built my first 6mm Dasher. We are pushing Berger 105gr. VLD's at nearly 3100 fps through a Krieger 1:8" twist 28" barrel. It has been a laser...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Shopping... Burris XTR II, Nightforce SHV, Vortex PST G2

    I've been running Nightforce, Premier and Vortex. My last Burris, a Black Diamond http://www.midwayusa.com/product/176...-reticle-matte, was an absolute bust. I'm now looking forward to the PST Gen 2........sounds like it should be a new contender in the segment.

    I would encourage you to use your military discount.......you've earned it and it will help get you into a nice scope for your rifle. Looks is like you've been doing some research and have a nice list to choose from. FWIW.......I like the first two on your list. I think the Gen2 PST will be a...

    Savage 111 build?

    Might want to check this website out: http://www.savageshooters.com/content.php I think you'll be able to find build info. and / or ask questions there. I've used it for a couple of Savage builds that I was involved with a few years back.

    Rifle Scopes Long range hunting scope (1200 Ish budget)

    Not sure how quickly you need your scope???? This one would put check marks in all your boxes and come under your $1200 budget. Just another scope for your consideration. http://vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-viper-pst-gen-2-5-25x50-ffp-riflescope-with-ebr-2c-moa-reticle/reticle...

    Opinions on new build for granddaughter

    +2 on the 6 BR or one of its relatives. I had a 6 Dasher built for my wife and teenaged son. My boy took his fist deer with it. With the 105-108 gr. bullets....it will perform to 1K very well. Also, fun to shoot because of low recoil and doesn't burn a ton of powder.

    Giving Snipers a Bad Reputation

    Yeah....Is the sequel in jeopardy??? Typical media hack piece. Labeling some demented people(s) shooting at transformers....as being "Sniper's" just serves to pump up the volume of their readers. A bunch of Dumb@sses blowing stuff up it should read. Maybe Jihadists would be stupid enough to...

    Looking to start a new project!

    You've got a lot of really good choices out there, IMHO, to achieve your goals. I've got a ton of respect for the 6.5mm projectile. I've got a custom rifle in .260 Improved that is extremely rewarding to shoot at the ranges you list.....shooting 140-142 grain 6.5mm bullets. There are several...
