    Rifle Scopes More ideas for an Ideal sniper/markmans scopemount

    Re: More ideas for an Ideal sniper/markmans scopem Will there be a lefty version ? Now all the gadgets would be in the way of a LH bolt. The LH version could manufactured so that the base is otherwise milled ready then turned 180 degrees lengthwise and only then the 30-40 MOA slope would be...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss made the impossible

    Re: Zeiss made the impossible The ballistic computer software is so outdated it hurts. Works ok to maybe 800 meters. Beyond 1000 yards you are better off with any commercial ballistic program. QTU will beat it to death in accuracy when used to calculationg trajectories beyound 1000 meters...

    Who makes the best 338 Lapua?

    Re: Who makes the best 338 Lapua? I have talked several times with Lapua folks about the 300 grain Scenars. They agreed with me that one does not really need it for anything as it can not really do anything the 250 Scenar couldn´t. But hey the market is there so they will build and sell it...

    If the 338LM is outlawed: caliber for rechamber?

    Re: If the 338LM is outlawed: caliber for rechamber? 9X19 and .45 ACP are nowadays legal in Italy. It was not always so. If one needs to rechamber 338 LM them 300 LM which is also known as 30-338 Lapua is the way to go. It WILL burn throats. A friend of mine burned a barrel throat useless...

    Left Handed Options in .308???

    Re: Left Handed Options in .308??? Tikka T3 SS Varmint LH is a good rifle. Do not know about the price in USA though. Scrap the .308 and get right away one in 6.5X55 and you have a 1000 meter rifle. I almost bought one but went ahead with a full custom .284 Win that is still being built.

    Rifle Scopes SB versus Zeiss conquest

    Re: SB versus Zeiss conquest S&B PMII beats the c**p out of any present day Zeiss scope including Hensoldt versions if we talk about ruggedness and ability to take abuse of rifles like 338 Lapua Magnum and bigger. Only the Helsoldt 6-24X72 is something S&B can no offer in the objective size...

    Sako TRG Bipod

    Re: Sako TRG Bipod Hi Pete ! What improvements have you made to the TRG-bipod ? I have earlier seen your AICS-type stock system on a Tikka T3 Varmint and your 34mm 1-piece scope base. Pretty impressive stuff !

    CheyTac 338 Lapua Brass

    Re: CheyTac 338 Lapua Brass So what is the real internal volume of the Jamison 338LM brass ? Lapua´s own brass is around 115-116 grains when filled to the brim (no bullet) and the case is measured after firing but before FL sizing.

    Sako TRG Bipod

    Re: Sako TRG Bipod TRG bipod is VERY good. Of course you can get by with Harris, Versa-Pod, Parker-Hale etc. Whether 450 USD is a lot or not so lot depends. Here in Finland I would have to pay 150 Euroa for a Harris LMR-S 9-13" model with Pod-Lock and ca. 300 Euros for TRG-bipod. I already...

    Gunsmithing Anyone built a .284 repeater for comps?

    Re: Anyone built a .284 repeater for comps? I am having my gunsmith build a .284 Win which will use 180 VLD and maybe 168 VLDs. OAL will be 3.15" which is a compromise as the 180 VLD could be loaded even longer but I want to be able to shoot 168 VLDs, 162 A-Maxes and 175 Match Kings too so...

    Rifle Scopes Range Finders?

    Re: Range Finders? According to Zeiss specs the PRF has the widest beam there is 2,5*4 mrad. That is way too big. You could fit multiple compact cars in the beam at thousand yards. Whether that product spec is true or not I do not know but I read it on the Zeiss www-site. I think it boils...

    Reloading 284 Win rounds long ?

    Re: Reloading 284 Win rounds long ? Got my Lapua made 6.5X284 Norma brass and Berger 180 VLDs. The O.D. of the loaded dummy rounds is a constant .312" so my pick of S-type bushing with .310" I.D. was perfect. I loaded 5 dummy rounds for my gunsmith to make sure the rifle feeds perfect with my...

    338 Lapua Sanity Check

    Re: 338 Lapua Sanity Check Sierra jackets are softer Ms95 (95% copper, rest zinc). Lapua has harder (not necessarily better) jakces of Ms90 (90% copper, 10% zinc). The engaving of the rifling to the bullet is harder on the Lapua bullet than on the softer Sierra jacket. Lapua pressure barrels...

    Lapua 7mm 170gn Lockbases

    Re: Lapua 7mm 170gn Lockbases Lpaua did offer at one point a 7mm 170 Lockbase. Claimed BC was/is .442 which is pretty low. They were supposedly quite accurate. Lapua should make a 170-180 grein Scenar in .284 as that would be very usefull for .284 Win, 7mm Rem Mag etc.

    Sako TRG Accessories.......WTF

    Re: Sako TRG Accessories.......WTF Sako-Beretta is not in the big medium price level consumer volume business at all. They are in the premium price level business where part of the product image IS high prices. Sako is not even trying to compete with Rem or Savage. They do not have to...

    I have a .45 USP Tactical and need a left handed holster for it. It will be used in the field so a tactical type -holster is ok.

    Suppressors H&K USP safety reversal

    Re: H&K USP safety reversal You CAN NOT reverse the safety lever. You either order a left-handed (single) lever or a ambi-lever from HK. The swicth from the old to the new is a bit tricky. I have done with a manual I found on the internet but I do not have it anymore. Anyway you need frist...
