    Range Report Best factory 77gr SMK for a SPR

    Re: Best factory 77gr SMK for a SPR If the accuracy is good I wouldn't worry about a relatively small change in velocity. A target you miss doesn't care how fast it went by.....it's only happy it went by

    Stock Options

    Re: Stock Options If possible get behind some of your candidates in the prone position to see which is most comfortable. A stock I love may not be the beat for you and only by holding position for some time can you tell the difference.

    Re: which reticle for f class I use the NP2-DD in 800-1000 yd F class and benchrest. I chose it because the NP-R2 reticle is to fine and gets lost against a black bull.

    Re: My first custom build is all done!!!! for now. I am very envious of the fact you did this yourself. My smith loves me because I create lots of work for him every time I try to adjust a trigger or change a bottom metal. Congratulations on a job well done
