    175 SMK for 300 RUM

    Re: 175 SMK for 300 RUM You can run the 175's. One of my shooting buddies runs 165's in his all the time with absolutely no problem. He is running at full charge also. I do agree that the 300 RUM is best suited for the heavier bullets. I prefer the 240 SMK in mine.

    F T/R Competition Optics question

    Re: Optics question IMHO you gain something to going to the NF if you select the correct reticle. I got rid of the Sightron target dot that I had and went with the NP-R1 to better be able to hold wind. You could also hold windage by reading the rings on the target, but this was just not my...

    Rifle Scopes Which Scope Would You Buy

    Re: Which Scope Would You Buy #2. Vortex makes a good product and stands behind it. I would also consider #1 if it had mil adjustments, but I doubt it does.

    Rifle Scopes Benefits of larger diameter tube

    Re: Benefits of larger diameter tube Just as an aside, some scope manufacturers like NF deliver a lot of travel in the 30mm tube, which is one of the reasons for the larger tube diameters. I only say this to tell you that if your deciding factor for getting a larger tube scope comes down to...

    Re-Barrel or new Rifle?

    Re: Re-Barrel or new Rifle? I am surprised that you can get the bullets to touch the lands. I never could in my SPS V 308. That said, if you can get them to touch, and it shoots good doing so, why not just do that until you get enough throat erosion to prevent it. If you are running the...

    Rifle Scopes SS 3-9 or IOR 2.5-10?

    Re: SS 3-9 or IOR 2.5-10? I would go with the IOR just because of the reticle. The MP-8 is a nice reticle. Mine was spot on as far as adjustmets / tracking. The glass in these scopes is very good also. The only reason I got rid of mine was because it had the covered turrets. Get the...

    Re: Hunting at the Ranch- Pig Elimination I love how Texans like to show off their pictures of pooping off hogs. These things need to be shot though. They are a varmint of exponential proportions.
