    Rifle Scopes Keep the vortex, or grab a millett?

    Also, as far as rails go, is there any advantage of one material to another? I would think aluminum would be better for corrosion resistance. one less think t worry about. Anyone know where to find a 25 minute base?

    Rifle Scopes Keep the vortex, or grab a millett?

    Sounds like im on the right track. lol I have heard about the poor repeatability, and in precision shooting, that is unacceptable. Thanks for all of the great info guys!

    Rifle Scopes Keep the vortex, or grab a millett?

    I purchaced a vortex 6.5-20x44 the other dayfor my .308 elr endeavors, because it seemed like a good value. No real complaints here. I did a quick sight in to see how much adjustment I had left, and now am looking for a canted base. This scope only has 64ish minutes of max internal adjustment...

    Rifle Scopes 25 minute base?

    Hey everyone! I am doing some elr with my savage, and i need a few more minutes. 20 doesnt get me to where I want to be, but 30 will make me loose my 100 yard zero. Really what I need is a 25 minute base. Any suggestions?! Im having some difficulty finding good results on google.

    Thinking about a .17

    Berger 210 vld for a .308

    Just picked me up a box of these bergers for some long range shooting and am having trouble finding load data for them. Anyone have a recipe and the resulting speed? For reference I have a 24 inch 1/10 twist barrel and typically use IMR 4895 powder. Im not stuck on it, but in these times, Id...

    Cheek rest color opinions.

    I like the coyote tan myself, but the new muilti cam is sick. They have a digicam version too with the save type of color scheme. Maybe camo is too busy for a plain rifle....The targets alive/dead shouldnt care either way. lol

    Cheek rest color opinions.

    Hey everyone. Im going to put a tactical operations ammo cheek pad on my rifle but I am undecided about the color. My rifle is all black, so i thought I would keep it that way. Then I thought that this would be my chance to add a little color. I will either go with black, multicam, or coyote...

    Mixing Different Powders Together

    There are so many different powders out there that im sure could fit your application. Like everyone said, what difference could you really expect if you were successful? Odds are you would be fine if you mixed like powders, but id atleast prefer the repeatability of one powder. That can even...

    Rifle Scopes vortex viper 6.5-20x44 maximum elevation after sight in.

    Thanks a lot! I am actually trying to reach one mile which is going to take about 98 minutes for me depending on my load. Just purely for the challenge. My current scope only gives me 30.25 minutes from a 100 yard zero and that gets me just to 1000. Now that Iv succeeded that far, Im feeling...

    Rifle Scopes vortex viper 6.5-20x44 maximum elevation after sight in.

    Hey all! Im looking for a new long range scope, and I would like a lot of adjustment for a reasonable price. Its only going on a .308. My only question is, how much adjustment am i really getting out of this 68 moa range? does anyone know how much more elevation they have on this scope after a...

    Pushing the limits of the .308

    Thanks! Im in this for the pure challenge. I just want to push the limits of my gun, cartridge, and myself. I realize its not a practical range, but if I can pull it off, it would be an amazing shot by most peoples standards!

    Pushing the limits of the .308

    Hey guys. Just joined up so excuse me if this topic has been covered. I am looking to push a .308 out to 1 mile. Thats right, the whole 1760 yards. Obviously the main challenge with this is passing through the transonic barrier. Does anyone know of a few bullets that dont destabilize way out...

    Confirming distance via Google Earth

    Ive had good luck with range card on my android phone, and distance map for my Ipad. they both read the same distance on all of my targets. If your range finder cant tell you, I think this is the next best option!

    168 Amax transonic performance???

    Some may say that this is a fantasy, but has anyone tried pushing these out to a mile? I know people are running the 175 SMK because of its stability. I reload and am thinking about trying to replicate superformance match load from Hornady because im shooting 100 yard groups similar to those...
