    Rifle Scopes Not happy with Leupold VX5HD, now what?

    For everyone, let's not forget that our new fancy cameras and phones adjust the ISO automatically to brighten a picture in low light. Bird dog, I'm not saying you didnt take the pic when you said you did. Im not here to argue that, hell I'm just here for recommendations, but I've spent enough...

    Rifle Scopes Not happy with Leupold VX5HD, now what?

    I sold the scope already. Let the buyer know why I wasnt happy and he could care less about it. According to him, he just wanted a Leopold scope to go on his gun "because they are the best". OK..... Yesterday I jumped on the Bushnell LRTS 3-12x44 from cameraland. I might put that on...

    Rifle Scopes Not happy with Leupold VX5HD, now what?

    This was what my reasoning was as I was looking at the NF 2.5-10x42.

    Rifle Scopes Not happy with Leupold VX5HD, now what?

    I do ALOT of low light/ no light hunting. For me, I can not personally use a non illuminated FFP reticle any less than 8x at night. The reticle is just too small in the FFP scopes I've used in the past. Everything from Razor gen 2, ATACR, etc. We have a scientific research permit that allows...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell LRTS 3-12

    Ordered mine from them about 2 hours ago. I was told they sold 40 yesterday, has around 20 left today. When I asked if I should order online to keep t simple, he recommended that I order over the phone because of how fast they were selling. If what he said is true, they may be sold out by the...

    Rifle Scopes Not happy with Leupold VX5HD, now what?

    I have been working on getting a light weight hunting rifle set up for 2020 deer and elk. Years ago, I lost faith in Leupold scopes and after reading some reviews on the 5 figured I would give them another shot. I ordered and mounted a leupold VX5HD 3-15 on my Tikka T3 light in 6.5 creedmoor...

    130 Eld-m 18” gas gun

    So to update everyone on what I found. When I tried getting my velocity up to something that I was looking for with the H4350, I started getting pressure signs and the groups fell apart. I departed from that and tried RL 26. After some testing I finally settled on 49.0 grains of RL26. That...

    Bag question......as if we need another one.

    I’ve had good luck with the Armageddon gear game changer. Don’t know if this is the older or newer design. It’s the one without the top velcro straps. I do believe they are different weights as well.

    168 gr range

    Not sure who this was directed at, but it was immediately after my post. If it’s at me, I’m not repeating what anyone else said, that I’m aware of. I’m only sharing my own personal experiences. I don’t own anything Litz, books or otherwise. Like I said in my post, these are MY results in MY...

    Best 300 Blackout Barrel

    That’s quite impressive. I will say that my Noveske, as much as I love it, is not as consistent as this.

    Best 300 Blackout Barrel

    I have a Noveske 10.2 that’s been really good, at least when comparing to what I normally see reported for sbr accuracy. I’m getting right at moa for 220 subs and 0.4 - 0.6 for 110 grain supers. Not to derail the topic, but what kind of accuracy are you guys seeing with your short barrels?

    "best" 300 win mag brass?

    I’ve had mixed results with newer Winchester. I have an older bag that’s great with 7 reloads and no problems, but my newest bag seams soft. No change in load or even lot numbers of powder, primer, or bullet and already getting loose primers on 3rd reload. I’ve had really good luck with RWS...

    Lanolin/Alcohol Sizing Lube Recipes?

    I ran into this problem and started to use a product called “Awesome” from the dollar store. I pour a few oz.into the SS tumbler when cleaning my 10:1 lanolin mix off. Works well. The other thing I do sometimes is drop my brass into an old plastic coffee can with hot water and awesome cleaner...

    168 gr range

    In my 16” 308 with Saker 7.62 suppressor I get 2,591 FPS at 950 ASL. I would like to get higher velocity, but this load shoots into the 0.2’s if I do my part with a SD of 4 and ES of 10.4 FPS. I get good consistent results out to 900 but it seams to fall apart by 1,000. Ballistic app shows it...

    Chamfer - Deburr: Important?

    I definately do all of mine. How aggressive depends on the projectile. Sometimes I get away with just a twist from a hand tool, and then other times I break out the Franklin armory power case prep station. With my hand loaded 62 grain Fusion projectiles, I actually have to use a VLD trimmer...

    130 Eld-m 18” gas gun

    Have RL 26. Going to try the 10 round load development by Scott Satterlee.going to try the 130 eld-m with 47.3-49.7 gr. In 0.3 increments over a V3 chrono and look for the velocity flat spots. Never tried this technique before. Should be interested. Anyone else have load data for RL 26...

    Sorry guys. Just got back from an extended hospital stay. Turns out I over did it at the gym and ended up getting Rhabdo. I’m back now. Hope to slowly start rolling out new pics and video soon.

    Night Vision best way to mount PVS14 behind day scope

    Yeah, mine won’t focus when front mounted. I was just playing around to see what the image was like. I run the 14 helmet mounted and use a BE Meyers MAWL. For clip on I have a PVS 30.
