    1847y - just a bit to far for the 6xc

    Re: 1847y - just a bit to far for the 6xc I think you might find it difficult to connect with your target. I believe the bullet path becomes very erratic once it goes subsonic. I've heard some descriptions of big spirals and lots of yaw with certain rounds. It would be pretty amazing if...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on Vortex 6.5-20 Viper

    Re: Thoughts on Vortex 6.5-20 Viper I think for the money...they are a great scope. Right at the top with any other manufacturer in their price point and slightly above. I've got the 50mm version on one of my AR's and have been extremely pleased. I agree...it wouldn't be fair to compare it...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns FN Five-Seven explodes

    Re: FN Five-Seven explodes Wow...was that a catastrophic failure. I would think that would have been done with a reload round...probably the double charge like you suspected. I bounce around many sites and that's the first report I've seen. Sure hope that guy gets patched up...and doesn't...

    Is This Where You Would Start

    Re: Is This Where You Would Start After paying to have a couple of Remington actions blueprinted...I've got to agree with George63. I should have gone the custom action route...ie Stiller. It would cost the same...but I'd have the upgrades listed...and it would probably be worth more. Wayne

    Rifle Scopes Advice on a scope

    Re: Advice on a scope Kevin: I've purchased some Sightron S III's for a couple of rifles. I think they compare pretty favorably with NF. They both use Japanese sourced glass. Depending on what magnification you're looking for.... I'm thinking you should be in the $700-$800 range for...

    Re: NF Scope I've had mine off several times and haven't had problems...as long as the base hasn't been messed with..I think you'll be fine. I also use the same torque wrench ( Seekonk 65 in./lb ) when tightening the rings to the base. Wayne

    Rifle Scopes Outlook for Premier

    Re: Outlook for Premier I can attest to the quality customer service on the PH scopes. Paul looked after me a little over a year ago after I purchased a used 5-25x. When I got the scope...it looked as if it had taken a pretty good fall or was driven over by something. Scope was Not...

    My "new to me" .260 Custom

    Re: My "new to me" .260 Custom I would also mention,for me, the .260 improved really performs well at longer ranges as I would think the .260 would also. Significantly less elevation and windage than my long barreled .308 that I'm shooting 185 gr. VLD's with. Good Luck...Let us know how she...

    Savage drop in barrel options

    Re: Savage drop in barrel options CBI is part of Krieger barrels....should be good stuff. I've purchased two McGowen prefits. One was through Jim at Northland and one was from McGowen direct. Both barrels are decent...probably a notch below the better Shilen barrels or maybe CBI. One...
