    Please help, SCOPE OR STOCK

    Re: Questions: Titanium Rings & Other Light Options I have Nightforce Ultra Lights on my 7wsm. I have only put 50 rounds through it for load development purposes, but the UL's held my Viper PST just fine.

    Rifle Scopes Cant decide which rings.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex optics?

    Re: Vortex optics? I own both a Vortex Viper 4-16x PST and a NF 5.5-22 NXS. To my eyes, the NF glass is a bit better being slightly clearer and crisper. I also prefer the NF zeros stop. I prefer the Vortex illumination control to the NF. I also like the weight of the PST vs the NXS for...

    For you younger gents!

    Re: For you younger gents! Very nicely done. I am also one of those guys that shoots a 30-06 as my long range target gun too. Been playing with the idea of trying the 190's for a bit now. Looks like I am gonna have to give 'em a go soon.

    School me on bipods...

    Re: School me on bipods... I'll not comment on Atlas vs Harris, there is plenty of info on that out there already. If you have the swivel bi-pod, there are 2 solutions: Short term: there is a tensioner that allows you to control the amount of swivel, tighten the piss out of that with a...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 Help

    Re: Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 Help If you are not specifically looking for the FFP model you may be able to find one slightly under the $700 mark, but only slightly from what I have seen the go for used. IMHO, spending the extra $50 or so for FFP would be a good decision. I just picked up a...

    Range Report Target Dope vs. Android Shooter Solution

    Re: Target Dope vs. Android Shooter Solution Personally, I prefer to use a program to approximate my dope and then either print a range card, or make dope rings to stick on my elevation turret. You can use your actual 3 mil dope at 500 and play with the mv variable to get where you need to...
