    Help me with my new 308 hunting rifle build

    Re: Help me with my new 308 hunting rifle build I have a stock VS and I wouldn't take it hunting...too heavy and it doesn't handle right. The same 24" bbl slightly re-contoured and fluted in a lighter stock makes a world of difference. It feels more like a heavy sporter but with a more...

    B&C Duramax Stock

    Re: B&C Duramax Stock Do you have the Accustock? The Accustock is a much better factory stock. If not the Duramaxx is a step-up. The Duramaxx has a large barrel channel which helps, but if your factory stock is pillar bedded and you can make sure it is completely free floated and not...

    Re: Leupold FX3 6x42 info required That info is available here: Leupold Ballistic Reticles And here: Leupold Ballistic Aiming System PDF files. If you think about it, the subtensions would logically have to be the same for every scope in the line to match the cartridge...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield scope for hunting rifle

    Re: Redfield scope for hunting rifle The new Redfields are very usable hunting scopes, a great value at current pricing. With Leupold's lifetime warranty, which is one of the best in the industry, they would be a good choice. The scope has a solid feel, and glass is just average, but when I...

    Rifle Scopes Winchester M70 mounts

    Re: Winchester M70 mounts Is this a tactical rifle with a heavy barrel, or a hunting rifle? Reason for the question is that scope is very large and heavy, and somewhat of a mismatch on a hunting rifle... But...it has a long tube, so it is possible that the ring spacing will not be a...

    Rifle Scopes Bottomed out my Bushnell FFP

    Re: Bottomed out my Bushnell FFP The drop table results are what they are. If you plug in a 250yd zero your drops at different ranges are for a 250yd zero, not for a 100 yd zero, so no accommodation is necessary, the drop calculation is already done. You can either dial it in, or hold off...

    How short on a 308 barrel? Range Report in

    Re: How short on a 308 barrel? A lot of a rifle's "handiness" is in how the rifle balances. Remys feel muzzle heavy to me, so I prefer them to be shorter, but I have 24" heavier barreled rifles that balance so well they handle like sporters. TC

    How short on a 308 barrel? Range Report in

    Re: How short on a 308 barrel? Barrel length is always stated as total barrel length, not just what the bullet sees, so that's 18.5" as measured from the bolt face to the end of the barrel. TC

    How short on a 308 barrel? Range Report in

    Re: How short on a 308 barrel? The reason for the short barrels is to cut some weight so that the rifle is still conveniently portable when a suppressor is mounted. An 18" 308 with a suppressor is similar to a 24" rifle without one. 308 loses velocity slowly down to 18 1/2", but after that...

    Rifle Scopes bushnell question

    Re: bushnell question It's a close call with that scope. It will work with some rifles/loads and not with others. Some rifles will need a few more MOA in the base. You'll just have to mount it and see how much elevation you have left after you zero. TC

    Changing from .300WM to .308

    Re: Changing from .300WM to .308 By the time you buy a new bolt and have it fit to the receiver, send it off for a new barrel and mag parts you could buy a short action 308 with the money and have 3 rifles. You can always sell a nice 300WM, but a 300WM is handy to have around. TC

    Hunting & Fishing Effective Range?

    Re: Effective Range? The effective range of a hunting bullet is partly determined by the velocity window over which the bullet will perform as it was designed to do. Most manufacturers publish this data. Whether designed for target or hunting, over time thousands of man hours and millions of...
