    Rifle Scopes Sneak Peek-Sightron S-Tac 4-20x50 FFP New for 2019

    Currently, there is only one reticle offering. The reticle is mil based with hold over hash marks for both windage and elevation. It is not a Christmas tree style reticle. Let me see if I can get an image to post. A MOA-2 style reticle is in the works.

    Ruger or Savage?

    Neither!!!!! Get a Tikka. It is superior in everyway. Better trigger, better stock, better barrel. Just better!

    50 BMG at 2K??

    Chassis vs Pillar Bedding for ELR

    The best setup is a barrel block configuration where the action free floats. This configuration significantly reduces the cantilevered barrel weight while increasing rigidity. Mate it in a properly designed laminated wood stock and you have a great combination that is easy to tune. There is...

    Berger .375 solids on the horizon

    Like Dave has indicated, companies are limited by machinery. The stroke length is an issue in being able to create long bullets over about 1.800" or so. Also, the ELR market is currently very small compared to other markets and it boils down to economics.

    .338 Lapua Questions

    BC does not equate to precision. Everyone is chasing the BC number game when the most important thing is to obtain the highest precision first then focus on accuracy. Contrary to popular belief, groups do not shrink the further out you go. I test all bullets at 1000 yards, on paper, with...

    .338 Lapua Questions

    "My understanding is the the Hornady 285gr is a much better bullet than the SMK." Like Dave said use what is most precise in your rig. I have yet to see where the 285 Hornady offers any advantage over the 300gr SMK and I shoot a good bit of 338:).

    CF Barrels for ELR

    If carbon wrapped barrels were so good everyone in the benchrest community would be using them. Step away away from the snake oil bottle!!!!!

    Questions on Flatline and Cutting Edge bullets

    "I’m going to run solids exclusively " I am curious why you want to use only solids. What is your reasoning for this decision?

    50 BMG at 2K??

    Perfect rules to me. Run what you brung and hope you brung enough as long as it safe and you get to shoot all your shots.

    50 BMG at 2K??

    I am all for "run what you brung and hope you brung enough". The weight limit at KO2M is an absolute JOKE just like the scoring system. Lots of people ordered barrels, actions, etc. to build rifles to come in just under 50 pounds to compete in the 2018 KO2M, myself included. Just six...

    Rifle Scopes 10x fixed effective range

    It all depends on how fine you want to aim and how fine the reticle subtends. I have no issues shooting ELR with a Sightron fixed 10x which has 150 MOA of elevation. 24"x24" targets at 1400 yards are not an issue with a fixed 10x optic. I have shot several smallish groups, on paper, at 1000...

    2 "Train of thoughts" arising in ELR

    There will be more 460's on the line this coming year. The 560's work well at 3250-3300fps and 605's at 3150-3200fps. The 560gr can be shot a little faster than 3300fps but 3250 gets the job done pretty good. 40" tubes with faster twists than the standard 14" in the HS-460. EJ
