    Yup.. zero it, put the cap on and forget it

    Rifle Scopes So, what about Leupold Mark 5 ?

    Definitely a consideration... I went with the T3. I was skeptical at first cuz it seems so busy, but I actually like it now. Its more usable than I thought it would be

    Is SRP in anything larger than .223 unsafe?

    I did some load work to compare CCI BR4 and 450's in Lapua 6.5CM, really not much difference other than the 450's seem to have slightly better SD.

    You'd think we would've heard about someone blowing themselves up...

    When SHTF, I'm coming to your house

    Yup... I get the "I guess we know where to go when the SHTF" The simple and unprepared think everyone else will save them....

    Hunting & Fishing Varmint/Coyote Gun Suggestions?

    Taken a lot of Yotes with my Tikka 223 varmint. 53 vmax doing 3350+ is wicked on critters inside 200yds. Lately, been using my DTA 6.5CM for longer shots after losing a few at 300yds + 147ELD @2900 is DRT every time.

    Velocity difference when changing brass

    Nosler, Prime, Norma Brass are almost identical (all made by Norma) and have less case capacity than Horny.. Lapua has slightly less than all those. Always work up/tune for each case.

    Easy test to show your PLRF beam size test and placement.

    Hi from NorCal coast,

    Norcal here also, Shasta county.

    Leica 2400 R

    Thats where that smaller beam really shines. Sage brush and trees are murder on a LRF trying to read a 1 or 2 moa target at distance. The 1.5x1.5 beam on the sig makes it a pain in the ASS!.

    Leica 2400 R

    Yeah, I think youre right Jim.. If I remember correctly the Terrapin is 1.2x.4

    Leica 2400 R

    I'd bet moeny thats a goof on the website on the 2400. The 1600 and 2000 are 2.5 for sure. My 2000 still works really well, just tricky sometimes to get smaller targets at distance. Tripod helps.

    Interesting... the 2700 is 1.2x.5 Figured they would be the same, guess not

    RL16 vs R26 for 6.5 Creed

    Haven't tried 26 yet, but with RE16 I'm getting 2650fps out of my 20" CTR with the 147ELD. Out of my Desert Tech with a 30" tube I'm getting 2940. Those speeds are about 40 fps avg higher than with H4350. Actually, slightly more in the Tikka

    Coffee Drinkers

    Drinks me lots O' Black Rifle these days... Peets is my back up when I run out of BRCC. French press is the preferred method for me. At work Im known as the coffee snob cuz I refuse to drink the shit they make in bulk from Costco. I even keep an Aero Press in my locker for when I have a...
