    Rifle Scopes Reticle for Zeiss 65

    Re: Reticle for Zeiss 65 Problem is that the reticle was a one-off made for Finnish Defense Forces. I believe several hundred were made and some left-overs were available for reservists. Cost: 780 Euros inc. VAT 22% for the ocular only. Add the 1300 Euros for the 65 Scope and you are solidly...

    284 Winchester LR rifle

    Re: 284 Winchester LR rifle A properly loaded .284 Win (long) will drive circles around a 7mm Rem Mag. 7 WSM lacks quality brass. 7mm/300 WSM would be better but .284 Win works so well that I do not see any point in a 7 WSM target rifle. You do need a long action but so what ?

    284 winchester and Vihtavuori

    Re: 284 winchester and Vihtavuori I use Fed 210 Primers and VV N560 ONLY in my .284 Win. I load them long C.O.L. being 80,0mm or 3.15" I can get Berger 180 VLDs to leeve the rifle safely 3000fps or 900m/s. Barrel is Border 5R chromymoly (black) and 700mm long. Besides the load I use produces...

    New Product! By Snipers for Snipers!

    Re: New Product! By Snipers for Snipers! 338LM version with 250 Scenars or 250 LockBases in 0.1 mrad version would be interesting. In Finland there are no mountains to speak of but we do send people to Afganistan and other interesting places with TRG-42s.

    reloading for 338LM with Varget

    Re: reloading for 338LM with Varget You might want to test VV powders namely N170, N560 and N570. I use only N560 but I shoot only 250 Scenars. I do not see any point in using 300 SMK´s if you are shooting only paper. 250 Scenar will fly out to +2000m with ease even though it will go...

    Rifle Scopes MSR reticle for S&B 5-25,available in USA too

    Re: New MSR reticle for S&B 5-25 PMII The thing is that this reticle is really a P4 (medium) with a 0.1 milrad scale and a stadia reticle system. Of course somebody might be able to pick out the thickness differences between 0.03 mil (P4f) and 0.05 mil (MSR reticle). I do want to use the...

    Berger 7mm 168

    Re: Berger 7mm 168 Try the Berger 180 VLDs instead. They shoot in my .284 Win very well. And the Berger 168 VLD so far have not shot good gourps at all. If you get the 162 Amaxes to group well skip 168 VLDs altogether. If you need to reach further out you can not bypass Berger 180 VLDs or...

    Re: Accuracy International AX & AX AICS Photos Do no tforget to add import duties, VAT and importer´s margin. $10000 USD is probably a pretty close street price in the USA.

    Range Report Supersonic effective range

    Re: Supersonic effective range Just for the fun of it you can keep shooting 250 Scenars out to 2000m with 12" twist barrel. The bullet just flies through the sonic barrier without any problems. Not all bullets do this but .338 Lapua 250 Scenars do. The 250 Scenar will bring a litte less...

    Range Report .284 heavies at transsonic/subsonic speeds ?

    Re: .284 heavies at transsonic/subsonic speeds ? Got to shoot some more. Unfortunately my barrel started to get copper clad inside pretty fast. Speeds and pressures went up even though I hand lengthened the COL and lessened the powder charges. Groups worsened too. Anyway I got my best ever...

    Range Report POI shift driving me crazy

    Re: POI shift driving me crazy Spin Drift is not the cause at these short distances. Sounds like a canted scope problem to me. Might be the installation, scope itself or the mount. 1. Check that the reticle is in upright position to your rifle. Correct if needed. 2. Check the the scope...
