    Rifle Scopes What magnification range for 500m-800m?

    I am lost on what scope to get for my .308. I have narrowed it down to 3, I think. My main question is: Which magnification range do you think would best suit a .308 shooting 500m-800m? Currently I only have one other scoped gun, and it has a 10x on it. I would obviously like a bit more, and am...

    Avoiding the Tacticool nub.

    This is awesome thanks guys. So far things I would have probably skipped/overlooked that I will be sure to bring: Pad of Paper/Pen Munchies Quick drying socks Rifle tools (would have brought these as they are in my range bag, but I will make sure I have everything I could need)

    Avoiding the Tacticool nub.

    I am putting the finishing touches on my first precision centerfire rifle this month (*fingers crossed*) and will be attending a beginner course in about 8 weeks. It will be my first foray into long range precision shooting (aside from having a coworker that is a former marine take me shooting...

    Hunting & Fishing there are some huge hogs in Texas....PICs

    Seriously... How do hogs get this big? 781lbs from Turkey. Chris's original, aka HTR707, was massive, and I would be so happy to bag one that size. This pic and the other one have popped up on Reddit the last few weeks since I've seen this post... Whoever is feeding hogs steroids needs to stop...

    Can anyone identify this chassis?

    I saw a post by the maker saying it wasn't on the website yet. Best bet is probably a PM on here, or emailing him. Though my guess is he will see this thread and respond.

    Chassis's ???

    Any plans on trying the folder version, or adapting yours for it, when its released? I am looking at buying a chassis here before the summer hits (or at least get it ordered) and am looking at the XLR, McRee folder, and the RS. If the RSC came as a folder right now I think it would win out.

    1MOA Rifle, Mil/Mil scope.

    You are doing your stomach a great disservice.

    1500.00 ish credit at gun store --- what to buy?

    Instead of having a one-and-done purchase like ammo, why not invest it in a really nice reloading setup?

    1MOA Rifle, Mil/Mil scope.

    Mil doesn't stand for military, but miliradian, or one thousandth of a radian, which is why some people consider mil to be metric, or metric-esq. And that is not because it has anything to do with metric measurements themselves, but rather that it subtends 1/1,000th. 1m at 1,000m.

    1MOA Rifle, Mil/Mil scope.

    I am not saying we need to go from 1MOA to 1Mil being the standard, but if we were to keep the same 1" @ 100yards benchmark, converting that to mils is a PITA because its all decimal. Although I suppose .1-.2 mil being roughly 1/2MOA and .1 or under being roughly 1/4MOA we could go with that. I...

    1MOA Rifle, Mil/Mil scope.

    Anyone else find it funny that most precision shooters nowadays use Mil/Mil scopes, but we still judge rifle accuracy on the basis of MOA? I understand that it is easier to say you have a 1MOA rifle (or 1/2MOA or 1/4MOA) vs saying 0.29mil rifle (or 0.145mil or 0.0725mil). I was just thinking...

    Bell and Carlson in stock anywhere?

    I am looking at selling one I just got as I am replacing it with a chassis here pretty soon. Which one are you after? I am 99% sure that is the exact stock, same color and all.

    Unique Situation - Scope or Rifle

    Spend some time and read some of the many posts on SH that directly address this. TLDR: Yes.

    Critique my first LR rifle

    This is almost the exact build I am doing right now. AAC-SD, either a McRee or an XLR, PST in 4-16 or 6-24, got a badger base (wanted seekins but its out everywhere), will probably do seekins rings, but I am thinking about springing for an Atlas. Interested to see how yours goes.

    I love seeing threads like this. Really cool progression, current build is very similar in this respect.

    Chassis weight?

    I guess I should have specified this will be holding a 20" Rem700 SA. I have yet to buy a scope and rings, or a bipod, for this rifle (I don't even get it for another week) and am starting to look at weight. But due to the modularity of these items, I would not be against having a separate...

    Chassis weight?

    The only Manners I would consider is the T5A, and that is 4lbs, so as far as weight goes I may as well go with the XLR as the price of the Manners with a DBM is going to be about what the XLR costs. Plus I will be able to swap out the grip on the XLR or other Chassis system to get something that...
