    Rifle Scopes Need some input from fellow shooters

    I run a fixt 10x SS on a 6.5x55 mauser with a match barrel. And that runs just fine for SAAB targets on 1000 meters. But for that distance i will reckomend you to get more zoom. 14-20.

    Building a rifle for the wife..............and me

    I have the rem700 kn 308. but my friends shoot tikka t3s. The tikka has the sako style extractor that many opgrade the 700 to have. They have a much smoother bolt run. Flat action surface. Better factory trigger than the xmark pro from rem. Downside for me is the tikka safety switch. Its much...

    Building a rifle for the wife..............and me

    223, no break, not enough recoil. 1:7 twist. 22-24 inch barrel. Then you can shoot the more heavy bullets 65 - 70 gr bullets with no issues. Minimum a varmit conture barrel. The tikkas does only supply a factory barrel with 1:9 twist and that is not enough to stabilize the heavy bullets so...

    Bullet drop table for .308?

    You need to shoot your rifle with preferred ammo over a chronograph. Measure the feet pr sec and type it onto an app. I really like the Ballistics AE. If you cant borrow a crono. You can revers add it. Shooting 100-200-300 yards and measure the drop. Then try to add different velocities until...

    Thoughts on a custom build for a newb...

    Thoughts on a custom build for a newb... This beautiful thing is how i would do it. The 308 is ok. But you will not be as competitive as the guys running the 6mm or 6.5. I run the 308 and its great. But getting a headstart is always an advantage. The 6.5 will for sure need wind correction...

    surplus swede 6.5x55 Any sources?

    We have used normas golden target or norma recruit for many years. Or selliot bellot in 6,5x55 they run like clockwork. But i dont know if you can get them in the US. Lapua also makes them in match. Norma brass is close to being as good as lapuas.

    im fed up with my .338

    As stated above. I have also seen some sako trg's and custom rifles in 338lm not able to shoot good groups at 100. Something about the bullet not going to sleep before 200.. So you should have tried it on 300 and 400 yards. A 338lm is somehow a little waist of ammo for 100 yd work. Have you...

    Help with 308 full length resize

    I have never had a stuck case. When i fullsize i put some hornady lune ( the thick white stuff) inside a small plastic bag with 50 or 100 cases. Then move them around with your hands and you will get them all lubed. And some of them a bit on the inside of the neck. Once full sized you wash...
