    New to the Hide (long) and Thanks

    Re: New to the Hide (long) and Thanks Welcome! Nothing can replace trigger time...keep it up. You'll develop a muscle memory..ie your way to address the rifle and learn trigger control / follow through. Also...once you feel comfortable with what you're doing...perhaps expand by reloading...

    Rifle Scopes Choosing a new optic and need a little help

    Re: Choosing a new optic and need a little help Is this scope going to be your sole way of ranging? If not...you might save some $$$ by going with a SFP scope with ranging reticle. Also, are you set in stone on buying new? If you have a couple of scopes in mind...don't mind waiting..you...

    Rifle Scopes yet another scope debate...

    Re: yet another scope debate... Joe: You have some nice scopes on your list...decisions...decisions. I will throw in a vote for a Sightron. I've got two S III's, one 8-32x by 56mm and a 10-50X by 60mm. When I compared the 8-32x Sightron to my 8-32x NF BR scope...they seemd nearly equal as...

    Rifle Scopes Which one IOR or NightForce?

    Re: Which one IOR or NightForce? You couldn't go wrong with either scope that you mentioned. The older I get...the more my eyes like the German glass...so for me personally...I'd be leaning slightly towards the IOR. But...both scopes are extremely solid choices and would serve you well for...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for an economic optic option for my EBR!!

    Re: Looking for an economic optic option for my EBR!! I think the SS is a very nice choice if you're looking for a fixed power scope. If you're looking for a variable...and one with a little more on the top end...I would highly recommend looking at the Vortex Viper. One of our sponsors...

    Rifle Scopes SB 5-2x56 PMII or NF 5.5-22x56 for Les Baer AR 308

    Re: SB 5-2x56 PMII or NF 5.5-22x56 for Les Baer AR 308 I agree 100% with what you said, RMW . PH is a great choice as far as I'm concerned. Wayne

    which caliber would you choose for long range?

    Re: which caliber would you choose for long range? I'm really sold on my .260 Improved. Very similar velocities to the 6.5-284 with less powder. Easy to load...plenty of brass around and those 140 VLD's really buck the wind.

    savage help please

    Re: savage help please As long as you have a "go gage" for your chosen round, some tools ( action vise and barrel nut wrench) and patience...it will only take you minutes to headspace and secure the nut...after that..put the barreled action in the stock and you're done. Wayne

    savage help please

    Re: savage help please He means detachable box magazine ( DBM)....not one that's built inside the stock. Jim at NSS sells actions...he lists long actions as being out of stock. You could call him and see when he could get one for you.Here's his contact info.: From Jim's web area on Savage...

    Savage Custom Shop???

    Re: Savage Custom Shop??? I agree with the others. Buy the action and parts "You" want for your rifle. These rifles are really pretty easy to put together. That way you get to tell folks you built it and it's exactly what you wanted. Good Luck, Wayne

    First Build Questions!

    Re: First Build Questions! Andrew: I would follow the advice that Frank is providing. Had him build my rifled action for me a couple of years ago and it's amazingly accurate...even with a hack like me pulling the trigger. His advice is as good as gold! I built a .260 Improved. We used...

    Rifle Scopes What power and brand scope would you recommend ??

    Re: What power and brand scope would you recommend ?? Killshot: You are right that NF makes a great scope..no doubt about it. But he said he had about an $800 budget...so that's why I recommended the Sightron. You don't need to be an "Operator" to own a S&B or other high end scope. If you...

    Rifle Scopes What power and brand scope would you recommend ??

    Re: What power and brand scope would you recommend ?? Your idea of swapping the scope from rifle to rifle is o.k....but as soon as you can afford it..I would get scopes dedicated to each rifle. You'll need to keep notes regarding your zero numbers for each rifle...might become a PITA. Also...

    Rifle Scopes What power and brand scope would you recommend ??

    Re: What power and brand scope would you recommend ?? I think there's at least one other scope you really need to check out and put on your list. It's the Sightron S III 6-24x by 50mm LR MOA/MOA. I would check with Scott at Liberty Optics: http://www.libertyoptics.com/index1.html This...

    Re: Premier 5-25x on .300WM You'll have a scope built like a tank...but still have very precise adjustments. I think you'll be more than happy!

    Rifle Scopes Premier 5-25x on .300WM

    Re: Premier 5-25x on .300WM I think you'll find all that you've read...to be true. The only potential negative is the size and weight of the scope. This was mentioned by someone else. It doesn't bother me or affect my rigs. Just a large and robust scope with great German glass and great...
