    To those who say lower cost guns aren't "accurate"..

    I had one in 6.5 CM, over 2500 rounds down the barrel and it still shoots great, as good as any other rifle I own. Kept waiting for it to start shooting poorly but it hadn't happened. Sold it to a friend lcheap to start learning, he's still shooting it.

    To those who say lower cost guns aren't "accurate"..

    Don't think I've every heard that cheaper rifles like Savages aren't accurate. In fact that is seldom disputed. It's the smoothness, extraction, etc, that sets the nicer actions apart, not the accuracy. My original savage I bought for learning long range is still just as accurate as my custom...

    Rifle Scopes So I bought a “Just As Good”, Burris XTR3

    I like my all of my Cronus scopes, I have three, but the Burris 3-18 is is really good too, especially at that price. I have the 3-18 with the SCR reticle and the 5.5-30 with the SCR2 reticle. I'd say the XTRIII vs the Cronus is close in glass, XTR has a wider view, reticle is good in both, I...

    Savage elite precisión 300 prc

    While I liked my savages when I started, I only have one left. They were accurate, just not as refined. These days I'd buy and action, a prefit barrel and trigger, put it in stock or chassis of your choice.

    7-6.5 PRC

    That's why my 6.5 PRC is on a tikka action. Just didn't see the point in the 7mm 162 over the 156 that works without having to expand the brass to 7mm for what I think isn't a better bullet. If you're going 7mm, I'm going to load 180's.

    7-6.5 PRC

    I don't understand why a medium or long action makes a difference in this case. The 156 is longer than the 162, I understand that either one would need to be shortened to less than maximum length to fit in a SA mag. But if I'm going to expand a 6.5 PRC case to 7mm I would be looking to run a...

    7-6.5 PRC

    What advantage does the 162 have over the berger 156? It's a few grains heavier but the 6.5 156 has a better BC.

    Optic Reccomendation

    Looks like the still have the Athlon Ares at Walmart for 565, I bought one, third one for me and a buddy got another for his .22. They're a good deal, eyebox is a bit tight at max power but I like their reticles and it's easy to get behind below max power...

    New member looking for Rimfire advice

    My 10/22's are good to 250 yards, I was thinking I'd use one at the next rimfire match instead of my Begara in a MPA chassis. But I currently have a Bergara in a MPA chassis.

    Rifle Scopes Brand New straight out of box Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 1 and Gen 2 factory defectiveNO warranty NO replacement by Athlon Optics WARNING BUYER BEWARE!!!

    I've got a few, two cronus, two ares, and a midas tac. First cronus is still working well, been used a a lot of matches. Haven't had a problem with any of them. Have a new G3 razor, it's good, but the cronus wasn't holding me back.

    Barrel questions about Tikka T3X TAC A1

    I've got shouldered proof and a preferred barrel prefits on a couple tikkas. You can get them from other places as well.

    PCP moderator ?

    I put one on a benjamin cayden and it made it significantly quieter. It's now backyard friendly, it wasn't before the moderator.

    It will work for both, same mag cut, CTR is different. I've got a Tikka T3 in a manners mini chassis.

    Match grade threaded 10/22 barrel

    I like feddersen, but I have two green mountain barrels that shoot great as well. The photo is from one of the rifles I built for my nephews with a GM barrel, it is a five shot group with CCI sv at 25 yards. At this point there were less than 15 rounds down the barrel as I had just zero'd the...
