    recoil diff 308 win and 7mm rem mag

    If anyone is still confused about this here is a quick explanation. Free recoil energy is the term used to describe the kinetic (or "moving") energy that is imparted by the rifle. The calculation does not take into account the shooter; it's as if the rife was somehow floating in midair when it...

    Tikka T3 CTR?

    Yeah, I've read that the 6.5x55 has taken a lot of large game. It's just a visual shock to go from hearing about it to holding it in your hand.

    Tikka T3 CTR?

    That's fantastic that I can remove it. I guess that also gives me the option to space it up to the appropriate level as well. Does the stock have a flat spot under the raised comb or is is just the normal contour? This is the first NEW rifle I've ever purchased, and it's the first rifle...

    Tikka T3 CTR?

    I ordered a tikka CTR rifle in 260rem from eurooptics a week or so ago. I'm told it will arrive in July. The only drawback that I see in this rifle is the cheekrest. I was thinking about adding a cheek pad if it's needed, but I was also looking at this...

    Rifle Scopes scope parallax question

    CoryT, thanks for your input. I wasn't basing my choice on this; it's just another variable. Please excuse my ignorance on the loophole thing.

    Rifle Scopes scope parallax question

    I thought they called it a loop when you shoot through a hole in the wall. That's what they called it on the history channel. Maybe they just call it a hole in the wall. I don't know.

    Rifle Scopes New Vortex Razor Gen II Rifle Scopes (Images, Spec, Etc)

    The optical design is most likely comprised of more elements. I read somewhere that alluded to the high power scopes having "up to 4 objective lenses" or something like that. Depending on the design criteria they may have opted for a series of more simplistic lenses rather then one more...

    Rifle Scopes scope parallax question

    I am currently shopping for a long range front focal plane scope, and I've been reading reviews and comparisons. I've never done unknown distance work, so this will be my first "tactical" optic if you will. My history has been with scopes like weaver and BSA for high power pistol silhouette...

    30-06 magazines?

    I would like to upgrade my 30-06 rifle with detachable magazines, but I'm not sure which mags work with 30-06. The chassis systems that I've seen like to use AI mags which seem to be limited to 308 and 300 win mag. Am I correct in thinking that the 30-06 would use the 300 win mag magazine with...

    This is a great review. I've very excited to hear about the Kahles K624i 6-24x56 FFP MSR IR. I'm interested to get a perspective on the ruggedness of this optic. Thanks for all the hard work!

    30-06 reloading issue

    I'm getting two stories here... Is it possible to get to max pressure with 4350? I know the goal is accuracy, but if the powder won't let you get to a higher accuracy node then it seems best to abandon that power for one with more velocity potential... I guess my concern is that the lapua...

    30-06 reloading issue

    Wow. I've never heard of a bullet creeping out over time! I don't want to use a compressed load; I would rather switch powders. I'm glad to hear that the 06 can handle the 208 amax. May I ask, what kind of MV do you achieve and with what length of barrel? I like the 338-06 very much. I...

    30-06 reloading issue

    I've been reloading for a very short time, and after much reading I decided to rethink my 30-06 for long range. So I got some lapua brass and 200gr berger hybrid bullets and 4350 powder and set out to develop a long range load for my rifle. I've been using federal brass and 168gr berger...
