    Rifle Scopes Any reviews on the Bushnell Elite 2.5-16X42?

    Re: Any reviews on the Bushnell Elite 2.5-16X42? Mate I have this scope on my Air rifle. It is ok, on the lower end of magnification it becomes a little distorted with fisheye lens look but fine on higher end. It works great, turrets are nice, reticle is good, return to zero is perfect. I...

    Why shouldn't I get a .243?

    Re: Why shouldn't I get a .243? I went 6mmSLR. You should look into it as I am very glad I went that route. 105 Bergers at 3070fps with no pressure at all, shoots great. Barrel life, I am certain it will go over 2k, using slow powders is the key! I like the longer neck. Link to my rifle...

    Rifle Scopes New Leupold 3-9x40 VX-R Patrol

    Re: New Leupold 3-9x40 VX-R Patrol I also have one of these scopes. For the money I am impressed. Mine sits on a Tikka Lite Stainless in 30-06. The scope is small, light, has good eye relief, and the illumination is daytime bright. The scope clicks are a little mushy, but for the price I...

    6mmSLR from Oz

    Being a big 6mm fan this lastest rifle came after a bit of research. I wanted a case that could push the 115 VLD's if I ever wanted, have the capacity, but also work well for OAL in the mag. The 6X47L was an option, but I liked the simplicity of using 243 brass. Either option had to be run...

    Flat Shooting caliber

    Re: Flat Shooting caliber You need to reload to take advantage of whats available. If you want flat, try 75Vmax out of a 6mmAI. With 14 twist Richard Franklin quotes 3800fps. Thats got to have very little drop out to 300. Quick look at JBM suggests 100m zero, 2.5MOA to 300m.
