    Re: Best spotting scope under $600 $600 is a lot of money and you should expect a lot for that amount. Kowa provides the best bang for the buck hands down IMHO

    F T/R Competition Rebarreling: What's the Best Option?

    Re: Rebarreling: What's the Best Option? You want your rifle to be right up to the maximum weight limit of 18.1 lbs. You also want the rifle to be reasonably balanced between the front and rear of the rifle. So, the barrel answer depends on what the rest of your rifle weighs. That said, a...

    F T/R Competition Magnetospeed First Impressions

    Re: Magnetospeed First Impressions The Magneto is a true game-changer. I sold my $800 chrono after testing this one side by side with it. The convenience opens new possibilities. For example, we have guys shooting entire F-Class matches with the chrono attached so they can try to...

    Is Nitride/Melonite barrel treatment a Farce?

    Re: Is Nitride/Melonite barrel treatment a Farce? I had 8 barrels melonited and have shot a couple out. We borescoped a 308WIN with 6000 rounds on it and the best shooter I know, said it looked like it only had 2000 rounds on it. Funny thing is the barrel started shooting markedly worse at...

    Need help choosing a caliber for a new rifle

    Re: Need help choosing a caliber for a new rifle You'll have to decide between the 6mm and 6.5. 6.5 will have better barrel life and more recoil. Based on your activities/criteria, I'd narrow it to: 6XC 6.5CM 260REM 243WIN

    Why r custom bolt guns higher than custom semi's?

    Re: Why r custom bolt guns higher than custom semi's? Certainly the chassis impacts the cost difference: a metal AR upper/lower/furniture combo is less expensive than the typical pillar=bedded stock. Bolt guns use expensive actions that require rails/lugs: AR platforms use a bolt carrier...

    what round and barrel

    Re: what round and barrel Many of the 6.5 cartridges are tough to load to magazine length (in a short action) AND touching the lands for best accuracy. The 6.5x47L stands out as the shortest cartridge and therefore best at fixing this issue. Benchrest records have already been set with it...

    Rifle Scopes Rail with 40 MOA for my Savage?

    Re: Rail with 40 MOA for my Savage? 40MOA might be useful at 2K, but what about 100 yards. You will have to adjust your turrets such that you will be looking out of the edge of the scope. Something to think about.
