    Rifle Scopes 1974 6.5-20 x 40mm AO

    I have just received a 1974 6.5-20 x 40mm Vari III. I can really tell it is not even close to the clarity of my VX3 4.5-14 that is about 5 years old. My question is if I send this scope back to leupold for some rehab work, how much improvement should I expect on such an older model scope...

    I am developing a load for the 80 grain TTSX with N140. Started with .010 off lands and groups looked promising. Changing seating depth to .050 off lands to see any improvement.

    At the local gun club they are wanting to build a wall to catch brass. I was looking for ideas that would help funnel brass to a confined area. Maybe a box on the bottom with an open top. Any suggestions would help. Thx SH members!

    Which action is the s-m-o-o-t-h-e-s-t...?

    Re: Which action is the s-m-o-o-t-h-e-s-t...? Does a Kelby action count? I haven't handled a lot of the actions mentioned here, but I would like to see an action smoother than a kelby. Where is the best place to see all the actions mentioned and work the bolt yourself? The shot show?

    Use 2 different loads in the 338 Lapua?

    I am loading for 2 338 Lapua Mags. Do you recommend one load for hunting, using hunt style bullets, and another for steel & paper using target style bullets?

    Rifle Scopes should I put a CDS on Mark 4 8.5-26?

    Re: should I put a CDS on Mark 4 8.5-26? I see your point. This is my first long range set up. I have shot at up up 600 yards with a 4.5-14 leupolds. This thing can go much further. I would be boxing myself in with the CDS. I have always used boone & crockett for shooting long. Adjusting with...
