    Suppressors SWR Specwar 7.62 Vs. ThunderBeast 30p-1 (Input Wanted)

    Demo'ed both a TBA 30P-1 and a SWR SpecWar 7.62 to a group of people a few weeks ago on a custom .264 Win Mag. The owner of the .264 bought the 30P-1. He intended to buy the 30P-1 before the demo but wanted to hear the SpecWar on his gun. All 5 people hearing the cans agreed that the SpecWar...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 2.5-10x56 best moonlight pig hunting scope?

    Everyone, thanks for your input. I have a lot of booths to stop at next month at SHOT and visit. It appears that with good moonlight high in the sky, shots to 150 yards are reasonable. Beyond that distance or in lower to no moonlight, NV is required. Thanks, Darin

    Rifle Scopes S&B 2.5-10x56 best moonlight pig hunting scope?

    Everyone, Thanks for your input! I believe the only time I have looked through an S&B at night was when I was buying some stuff from George Gardner back in 1999 or 2000 when he was in the back of Denny's gun store. That was a few years ago and I remember the scope having excellent light...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 2.5-10x56 best moonlight pig hunting scope?

    Is there a scope that would provide better low light performance at night under a full or partial moon? The idea is to hunt wild boar at night from 100-400 yards with a normal scope (no night vision setup). This S&B scope looks like it might have the best light gathering. Any better...

    Suppressors SWR specwar users?

    Lapua31, I do not have information for you yet but as soon as time and weather permit I will be testing an SWR SpecWar 7.62 for POI shift on an AI AW with an 18" .308 Bartlein barrel. I will also test a Surefire 7.62 Socom RC and a Thunder Beast Arms 30P-1 for comparison sake. Initial...

    Rifle Scopes Please help recommend a good hunting scope for a light 270 WSM

    ccoker, I had read yesterday that Burris was making the Steiner Predator scopes in Colorado. Don't know if it is true but if it is, it might help support the reticle consistency. Darin

    Rifle Scopes Please help recommend a good hunting scope for a light 270 WSM

    ccoker, I like the Z3 and Z5. I agree that the reticle's BDC feature most likely won't match. The "300 yard" line might actually be 280 or 320 for example but you just check the distances and keep a cheatsheet handy. Have you used the Leicas? If you have, how would you say they...

    D_TROS, That scope looks great on that rifle. The base looks like it couldn't be 1/4" longer. Thanks, Darin

    Rifle Scopes Please help recommend a good hunting scope for a light 270 WSM

    Bohem, Thanks! That Steiner scope looks like a great deal for what I am wanting. I am not very familiar with their scopes. No have looked through a few of their binoculars and they seemed on par with my Zeiss Classic 7x42. The light gathering on my binoculars is incredible. Thanks, Darin

    Rifle Scopes Please help recommend a good hunting scope for a light 270 WSM

    Hello, I would like to put a smaller but really well built scope with excellent glass, tracking, water reisistance, customer support and not have excessively heavy weight. I prefer a reticle like the Zeiss Z-600, S&B TDS or a NF Velocity Reticle style over a simple duplex. I would prefer...

    Hunting & Fishing kansas

    Re: kansas I agree with what Gunner and GMZ71 say. I grew up in Dodge City and it helps a lot to know people that own great hunting ground or a big checkbook. That said, KS does have some excellent hunting land leased by the state that I used with great success when I went to college in...

    Barrel Length for a 6.5 Creedmor??

    Re: Barrel Length for a 6.5 Creedmor?? Lowlight built an 18" .260 Rem that went out to 1000 yards if I remember correctly. The 6.5 Creedmoor is basically a ballistic twin so I believe you would be good with the 18" barrel. I am looking at having an 18" barrel built in .260 Rem or 6.5...

    Chopping Cooper Prec. 26" .308 AW barrel to 16"

    Everyone, I have a Cooper Precision 26" .308 barrel that was made for the Arctic Warfare a few years ago that I am wanting to chop to 16" for full time use with a sound suppressor. Any reason to cut it to 18" or 20" instead? I am looking for portability over absolute velocity. The thinner...

    FN SPR's with factory muzzle threaded barrels?

    I can not find a model number for any FN SPR that comes with a threaded muzzle (5/8x24). I thought I saw one at their booth at SHOT in January but I could easily have that wrong. I was just walking by and thought, "'bout time FN put threads on those muzzles". FN's website page for rifles...
