    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2 MOA VS MRAD

    Just an arbitrary number pulled out of his head. Phil V was just pointing out that it's generally a lot quicker running calculations in one's head in base 10s vs 1/4s. Ex: converting 17 dimes to a monetary value of $1.70 is easier/faster than converting 17 quarters to $4.25. Was in one of the...

    Dream build question: Single Action vs Repeater

    Holy shit. I didn't even look at the OP date. This whole self isolation/social distancing thing has gone too far ?

    Dream build question: Single Action vs Repeater

    I have a friend that hunts with a beater single shot Savage in 7 saum. He's only ever had one occasion in recent memory where a repeater would've been handy. Has harvested plenty of animals with it. Guys also hunt with single shot muzzleloaders as well without any issues. Get a SAP two round...

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    Ultimatum Deadline in long action I assume as it's a 300WM. They have their own T3 footprint barrel actions coming out in the near future.

    Stop looking at the reticle man. You gotta feeeeel the reticle. Feeeeel those inches at 100 yards man.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2 MOA VS MRAD

    What reticle are you using that forces you to guess your misses in inches and then convert to minutes to make your adjustment? 308Pirate isn't talking about Kentucky windage. He's doing the same thing you are without wasting his time guessing his misses in inches and converting back to moa/mils...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2 MOA VS MRAD

    Said the guy that can't even do math. 1 mil at 400 yards is 14.4 inches. One click is 1/10th of a mil, or 1.44 inches at 400 yards. Not 3.6". None of that matters because one doesn't correct by calling a correction in a linear measurement. If I see a miss, I don't convert mils/moa to inches/cm...

    Who all runs the ARC Nucleus action?

    Small, mostly subtle differences that seemed to improve quality of life enough to make a noticeable difference. The bolt close is certainly smoother than my gen 1. Here's Ted's thread on SH. They're sold out on ARC's website now, but you might be able to find some at other vendors. The thing to...

    Who all runs the ARC Nucleus action?

    I've seen 'em before on here and totally forgot about them. Unfortunately they're also US only at the moment, according to his website. I just might have to try rigging something similar up myself.:unsure:

    Wanting to buy/build a "90%" Hunting/Ranch Rifle

    I kind of have a similar thing going for myself right now, except competitions aren't in the picture at all. This going to be a coyote and gopher 223 rifle, possibly run as a 6.5cm for hunting season if I stick around this neck of the woods. Will be minimal stalking, but the weight should be...

    Who all runs the ARC Nucleus action?

    Well I'll stick with the plains but I'll gladly give you the snow :LOL: Razor AMG. Was going for either an AMG or NX8 4-32 for this build as I wanted to keep it somewhat lighter than my first rifle. Found the AMG used for a decent price so it settled that debate. As much as I love my gen II...

    Who all runs the ARC Nucleus action?

    I took my set up out hunting last season and successfully took two deer with it. Did a zero verification after the first long day out and had no zero shift. I've smacked my barrel firmly with my hand and haven't had any issues either. Ledzep's experience echoes what I've read from other reports...

    Who all runs the ARC Nucleus action?

    Savage prefits using a Barloc. I'll make the switch to shouldered prefits once I have a sturdy enough work bench or a vehicle with a hitch to install my barrel vice on.

    Who all runs the ARC Nucleus action?

    Nothing wrong with that! I would have done the same as you if we had as good of a used market up here in Canada. I figured I'd get my hands on another 1 or 1.1 since they still share the same bolt heads. Will add to my overall versatility once I can get more barrels for my two nukes.

    Who all runs the ARC Nucleus action?

    I liked my gen 1 enough that I sold two of my Tikkas and optics to fund a new gen 1.1 build. The gen 1.1 feels even better than my 1.0 from the bit of fiddling I've done with it. Have 19lb springs in mine, no failures on my gen 1.0 after 450 rounds of 6.5cm.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG 6-24 vs. Nightforce NX8 4-32

    Here's a couple pictures I just took through the AMG received today with the old EBR-7 reticle. My cellphone doesn't do the glass any justice and kind of has the colours showing up washed out, but you can at least kind of get a feel for the DoF and such. The shed is 9 yards away, branches to the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG 6-24 vs. Nightforce NX8 4-32

    I'm in Canada, so our prices are high compared to the States but I found mine for $2600. Regular shop prices is ~$3600 before taxes and such. The NX8 4-32 goes for around ~$2800 new before taxes. Have only ever seen one or two used ones up for sale up here, and have yet to see on in person. I...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG 6-24 vs. Nightforce NX8 4-32

    I was literally just in your shoes and opted for the AMG. There's pretty much no way for me to get behind an NX-8 where I am and the reports of a finicky DoF and eyebox were too common for me to ignore. I don't want to take the risk of having to fiddle with my parallax knob if a deer or coyote...

    KRG Bravo

    Pretty much this. I have a 26" Savage prefit barrel that's a straight taper down to .840" at the muzzle. Balance point is about mid point of the second M-lok slot from the baricade stop. My former Tikkas, 24" factory varmint balanced at the baricade stop and the 20" CTR was a bit rear heavy...
