    1500 to build or buy

    Re: 1500 to build or buy Like I said, get a Rem 700 SPS heavy varmint and put an AICS stock on it. The AICS stock comes with the best magazine system and one 5 round mag. Put a 20moa picatinny rail on it and put your Prostaff on it. What Prostaff do you have btw?

    Rifle Scopes My argument against "good" glass (for now)

    Re: My argument against "good" glass (for now) If your scope is reliable and working for you, stick with it. You can always upgrade later.

    TRG - 6.5mm Super LR

    Re: TRG - 6.5mm Super LR What velocity did you get out of your 260 TRG? I'm getting 2815fps out of my 24" rem 700 in 260 Rem. The TRG has a longer magazine and longer action hole (where the bullet goes in from the magazine, whatever that is called). 260 Rem has plenty of case capacity. I...

    Rifle Scopes do i need a 20 moa base?

    Re: do i need a 20 moa base? How many moa of elevation does your scope have? How many moa do you need to shoot out as far as you want to shoot? Putting a 20moa base adds 20moa to your possible UP elevation. UP elevation on a flat base is approximately 1/2 of total elevation. A typical 308...

    Rifle Scopes FFP or Not??

    Re: FFP or Not?? FFP has advantage over SFP in these situations: 1. If you hold for windage with the reticle at less than full magnification. 2. Holding for movers at less than full magnification. Both are likely for tactical shooters. For benchrest and target, YMMV. SFP has the advantage...

    Rifle Scopes mil or moa

    Re: mil or moa The reason people say mils are "metric" is this. 0.1 mil is 1 centimeter at 100 meters, 2 cm at 200 meters....10 cm at 1000 meters etc. So if we did target size and group size in cm and ranged in meters, mils would have the advantage. IPHY is 1 inch in 100 yards, 2 inches in...

    Rifle Scopes Best place to "shop" multiple brand scopes?

    Re: Best place to "shop" multiple brand scopes? What is needed is a setup so we can look at actual targets, and even better, an eye chart some distance away. A window overlooking a setup, with numerous scopes mounted on (fake) rifles on benchrests. All the biggies there. Schmidt & Bender...

    Rifle Scopes mil or moa

    Re: mil or moa MOA vs IPHY when does it matter: For group size you can use 1moa = 1" per hundred yards. Close enough. For Dope, (comeups) it does matter. 30moa is 31.5IPHY enough to matter For Box test it does matter (same argument as for Dope) For ranging, its debatable. Just use IPHY and...

    powder thrower

    Re: powder thrower The critical question we have that no one seems to have an answer to is: Does +-0.1 grain (extreme spread of 0.2grain), which is achievable with the inexpensive electronic scales (and probably balance beam scales as well), does this much variance matter in group size? Or do...

    X mark trigger

    Re: X mark trigger My newer gen XMark couldnt be adjusted because the wrench stripped the heads on the two of the three adjustment screws. They wouldnt budge cause they were glued I suspect. So if you try and adjust the Xmark, be prepared for that (maybe heat will melt it, I dunno, some...
