    Today is the day....

    Re: Today is the day.... This probably doesn't need to be said, but oh well... You may want to have your brother shoot it a bit before you pay to have any work done. Although unlikely, if it shoots like hammered dog shit and there are problems you might regret dumping money into it right off...

    Rifle Scopes Reason for near-maxed out scope travel 0moa base?

    Re: Reason for near-maxed out scope travel 0moa base? Put your rings on his rifle with his scope and see what the result is. If the problem goes away, it's his rings. If it stays, put your scope and rings on his rifle and see what happens. If it goes away, it's his scope. If it stays I'd...

    115 DTAC - jump or jam?

    Re: 115 DTAC - jump or jam? I have a similar set up with my AI (8 twist Rock barrel - 26"). Never tried H1000, but did try RL-25. Velocity was great, but never could get the accuracy I was looking for. I'm now running H4350 and seating them 0.005 off. With mine, I've noticed that accuracy...

    Nikon Fieldscope 82mm or Kowa TSN-664?

    Re: Nikon Fieldscope 82mm or Kowa TSN-664? I have the Fieldscope and like it a lot. However, knowing what I know now I would have gotten something with a mil reticle in it. Much more useful in the field for calling shot adjustments. Just something to think about...

    7 Rem. Mag and too much smoke

    Re: 7 Rem. Mag and too much smoke Why are you worried about smoke? It's not like you're shooting black powder. The powder fouling may be a bit of a concern, but quite frankly I wouldn't worry about it unless it's affecting your accuracy. If it's a good load, use it.

    7 Rem. Mag and too much smoke

    Re: 7 Rem. Mag and too much smoke mscott is absolutely right. H1000 is not too slow. I would go even slower, although H1000 isn't a bad powder. I use RL-25 with great results on the 175 SMKs. Stick with the slow powders, otherwise you'll hit pressure at much lower velocities. I assume...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Monarch vs. Nikon Monarch Tactical

    Re: Nikon Monarch vs. Nikon Monarch Tactical I have both scopes, except my Tactical is the older version with a 4-16 mag. Get the tactical. Glass between the two is about the same, but the functional operation you are looking for lends itself more to the tactical version. If this was...

    Rifle Scopes mark 4 tracking??

    Re: mark 4 tracking?? If the Mk4 is in your price range and fits your needs, get it with no worries. They track fine. I have two of the scopes you mention and haven't had even one issue. I do highly recommend that you get the TMR with it though, especially for quick follow up shots at that...

    Get a motorcycle or not???

    Re: Get a motorcycle or not??? You guys have given me a lot to consider. I've taken some really serious risks in my life - some well thought out and others not so much. Hearing some of the stories here and also what I've come across on the net and personal discussions with other riders, I'm...

    7mmRM 180 smk + R22 starting load opinions/help

    Re: 7mmRM 180 smk + R22 starting load opinions/help I'm in the RL25 camp. I use it in my 7RM with the 175 SMKs and get great results. Allows you to push them a bit harder with less pressure.

    Get a motorcycle or not???

    Re: Get a motorcycle or not??? Why do I want to ride? Pleasure mostly. Don't care much about gas or commuting. Just think it would be a great feeling and fun to take an evening or weekend ride to just "get away". If gas goes to $5+ that may change... The bike I'm looking really hard at is...

    Get a motorcycle or not???

    Re: Get a motorcycle or not??? For those of you that say you've been in an "accident", what does that really mean? Does falling over at a stop sign with bumps and bruises fall into that category as well? Does going 10mph in a parking lot and having a car back up into you count? Or is it...

    Get a motorcycle or not???

    Re: Get a motorcycle or not??? It's funny, all the reading I've been doing kinda puts the responses into 3 buckets: - Die-Hards: These are the guys that have been riding forever and no matter what happens they will always ride, even if the bike has to be modified to hold a wheelchair. -...

    Get a motorcycle or not???

    For you bikers out there, do you think these days are good for getting a motorcycle? I mean from a safety standpoint. I've been thinking really hard lately about getting my first street bike but I'm having a hard time getting past the dangers from other vehicles. You hear so many stories...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Monarch Questions

    Re: Nikon Monarch Questions Great scopes. The glass is very clear and crisp. I now use the Monarchs on most of my hunting rigs. For LR shooting, their internal adjustmnet is limited, but it likely won't impact you much on a 223 shooting reasonable distances, especially with a 20 MOA base...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold mark 4 spotting scopes. Good/bad?

    Re: Leupold mark 4 spotting scopes. Good/bad? Whatever you get, go with one that has a reticle. I have a Nikon Tactical spotter that I bought several years back and it's a wonderful scope, but the lack of a reticle cripples it for tactical shooting and matches when you are trying to call...

    7mm-08 shooters - how accurate is WW brass 4u?

    Re: 7mm-08 shooters - how accurate is WW brass 4u? Win brass is all I use and it does fine. You'll need to do initial prep, but it's no big deal. Check the search function for loads. There is quite a bit out there already ranging from hunting loads to LR target loads.
