    1,004 Yard shooting (310GR .338 buldozers)

    Re: 1,004 Yard shooting (310GR .338 buldozers) WOW! Okay so how do I get my hands on some of those horse pills?! Very nice shooting and even if the bc isn't just on the money it's got to be close to highest for a .338 anywhere. Great shooting!

    What stock

    Re: What stock x4 Manners. Got a t4 on the way for my .338. For dual purpose the t3 or t2 is a GREAT choice. My cousin has 2 of the t2's and they shoot prone as well as offhand.

    Okay folks here's the scenario.... I am in the process of getting my new .338 lm build concreted before I head over the pond to the big sandbox.

    1000 yard scope power

    Re: 1000 yard scope power I am currently in the buildup of a .338lm and am trying to decide between the NF nxs 5.5-22 or the 8-32. Which one would suit. This rig is a long range prone stick and I will hopefully get on 1500 yds when I get back from Iraq. Trying not to highjack the thread, just...

    barrel break in suggestions........

    Re: barrel break in suggestions........ I have tried searching and there really isnt much on the .22 wmr, especially for the lilja. I have been scouring the web and that's pretty much what most everyone is saying. Clean before the first shot, assemble and then use a bore snake when it needs...

    6.5 VS 6.8

    Re: 6.5 VS 6.8 Keep in mind what they were designed for. The 6.8 is going to replace the 5.56 for military use EVENTUALLY. Bill Alexander designed the grendel for long range accuracy out or an AR. They both excel at what their intended purpose was. But this comparison thing is going through...

    Hunting & Fishing what's your take????

    Re: what's your take???? All well put. I do love to shoot "out there" but I enjoy the thrill of a good stalk and/or being able to watch a big game animal up close. I RESPECT the fellow who can put a big bull down at close to a grand with, what some consider miniscule, a lil 6.5. But I also...

    Hunting & Fishing what's your take????

    I have been watching the "in" way of hunting a bit and was wondering what everyone elses take on the new trend of "extreme" long range hunting. I am not the best shooter in the world but far from the worst and I would seriously take issue with shooting big game at distances up to and over 1k...

    Re: Hunting Rifle Scope Inquiry-300WSM Excellent point McNabb. Btw, your platform may not be competition level but guess what, your hunting with it! My savage won't group for shit at a thousand, but it ain't supposed to either! There is nothing wrong with your set up for your mission. Good luck!
