    Re: SWFA SS 5-20x50 HD Picture thread....... 7 scopes for the price of two, you sir are a smart man. Kicking myself a bit for not ordering 2 more, but the first hasn't arrived yet so no big deal. What more can you ask for? These scopes fit so many purposes at such a good price point. I just...

    Rem 338 lapua

    Re: Rem 338 lapua 338 lapua tends to loose 15ish fps per inch from 30 to 24 inches, its not a big deal. 2800 from a 300g is impressive. About to start loading the bergers for one now, hopefully can get rid of the 3 inch groups it has been shooting with 225 SST's (I think theyre simply too...

    missing calibers to my collection

    Re: missing calibers to my collection The AI AX338 would be amazing, it sounds like your after that style of rifle anyway, and the availability is generally better than a custom. I dont know if I would get a Barrett, heard of a few little issues, and again, AI make some top notch rifles...

    Caliber for new build - 260 vs 7-08 vs 284

    Re: Caliber for new build - 260 vs 7-08 vs 284 At the end of the day, they are all very similar ballistically, capable chamberings. Personally I would go with 260, heres why: -although the bbl life may be a bit shorter, all of these chamberings have very long bbl life to start with. If it...

    Rifle Scopes Best/Cheapest Nightforce Dealer

    Re: Best/Cheapest Nightforce Dealer As above. Nightforce uses it's MAP policy similar to Premiers, which is illegal. Its not up for debate, they just bully dealers into not questioning it. For this reason, I will never own any nightforce or premier product, I don't support criminals. Far...

    Rifle Scopes how tight do you make your scope rings?

    Re: how tight do you make your scope rings? 15-20 inch pounds, depending on design. 4 bolt I go 20 in/lb, 6 bolt 15, thats if the manufacturer doesnt have a reccomendation. I use the wheeler fat wrench. Its not super super accurate but accurate enough to have next to no POI shift when I...

    300WM Advice

    Re: 300WM Advice Nothing wrong with a factory sendero setup really. My one regret with my 300 win mag is getting a hunter profile barrel. Spits shots after 4 or so, then its all over the show. If I were to do it again, id probably buy a sendero and re stock with an a5 edge. Chris

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace. Any luck with those???

    Re: Falcon Menace. Any luck with those??? Got it on a 223. Seems to track bang on, reticle is actually really good, glass is your typical chinese class, much like a leupold vx1, etc. First round hits to 400 no problem, 720 I couldn't see where I was hitting. Better to go with a nikon...

    Rifle Scopes zeiss victory prf rangefinder?

    Re: zeiss victory prf rangefinder? I have the swaro and it is the best rf for hunters because of the FOV and glass. A few friends have the crf 1600 (updated model) and it always ranges further than the swaro, but only by 5% ish. The FOV is much smaller but it is better for the rock or steel...

    Savage 110BA 338 Lapua = 2 MOA rifle???

    Re: Savage 110BA 338 Lapua = 2 MOA rifle??? We are going through similar issues at the moment with a 700p 338 lapua. We will try all weights and styles of bullets before trying too many more powder charges. We have done about 10 different loads with the 225 SST and nothing better than an...

    Rifle Scopes Question about thermal imaging/scopes

    Re: Question about thermal imaging/scopes If they are alive and the background is not exactly the same temperature and emmisivity. The colder the night, the easier it is to hunt with thermal imaging gear. If they are cast's, then it would be harder, but possible if you have enough resolution...

    Rifle Scopes First LR rifle scope selection (budget related)

    Re: Sako TRG-22 scope selection (budget related) I dial a nikon buckmasters 4.5-14x40 from zero to 30 MOA up and back every time I shoot and it always tracks perfect. Got it for $200 and will never sell it. Just my 2c. Bushnell is nice having exposed turrets but the nikon turrets are nice...

    Rifle Scopes High End Tactical: Part III

    Re: High End Tactical: Part III Just to add, the reason I would buy the march, is the Compactness, turrets, ffp, and weight. The Zoom ratio is one aspect that IMO is just too much. I agree between 5-7x would be fine. a 3-18 would be fine, as would a 4-24, and going by your past posts Ilya...

    300 Win. Mag. OAL & Reloading

    Re: 300 Win. Mag. OAL & Reloading As above. My loads are at least 10mm to the lands, (say .500 tops) and it shoots better than that at 100 yards (.5 that is). I am in the same boat, work wise, and I have the feeling if it aint broke dont fix it, I'd rather not be single loading and get .5...
