    Help me pick between 3

    Re: Help me pick between 3 Those 3 rifles are not the same. I would go to a shop and handle them. Pick the rifle "you" like and don't worry about what it costs. Ending up with a rifle you are not happy with because it was a few dollars less will be the most expensive in the long run. TC

    Rifle Scopes STOLEN ACOG , PAYPAL are A**HOLES!

    Re: STOLEN ACOG , PAYPAL are A**HOLES! If your PayPal account is linked to a bank account, they can deposit your money into it, and they can take money out of it, and will attempt to if a dispute arises. This is an old site, but worth the reference to new viewers... PayPal Sucks.com TC

    poor experience with 75gr hornady and TAC

    Re: poor experience with 75gr hornady and TAC As pressure approaches 60k psi TAC will tend to burn more consistently, and may start to burn less consistently as pressures exceed 60k. It's a narrow window, but should burn very consistently when in the optimal range. Also, TAC may not be...

    Rifle Scopes How useful is FFP at low magnification - really?

    Re: How useful is FFP at low magnification - really? 300-400 yds is close to point blank range...For 3-400 yards you don't need mils, ffp or any of that stuff...a scope is optional for that matter unless you're shooting at varmints. TC

    pillar bedding the Rem. 700 vtr ?

    Re: pillar bedding the Rem. 700 vtr ? If you have the skills and can do it yourself, fine...give it a shot, but I wouldn't pay to have it professionally done...the stock is not worth putting any money into it at all. Think B&C. TC

    Woud like input from experienced 308 shooters

    Re: Woud like input from experienced 308 shooters I would recommend starting out with a basic solid factory rifle from the brand name that you prefer. Looking a a Rem 5R or an FN SPR, have it bedded and the trigger tuned, and get your optics. That is enough money to spend on a rifle for...

    .300 WSM ?

    Re: .300 WSM ? I like mine. The rifle is shorter, lighter and has less recoil. It is not the true equal of the 300WM, when the WM is loaded to full capacity...about 100fps shy with heavier bullets, but mostly close enough. TC

    Rifle Scopes 20" Barrel, FGM168bthp Suggestions pls

    Re: 20" Barrel, FGM168bthp Suggestions pls From a 308, the 168 is usually stable to about 800 yards, maybe 900yds depending on altitude. The 175gr generally does better after 600 yds, but inside that they are the same. I have a lot of 168gr bullets on hand and they shoot well, so if I am...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron S1

    Re: Sightron S1 Well... There is recoil...and then there is recoil... Sightron and Leupold both put lifetime warranties on these scopes, but that doesn't mean they won't break...They will fix them for free when they do, but that doesn't help you in the bush and on a .458 they'll likely fail...

    M1A

    Re: M1A The Scout is $1500 and a bolt action is around $500. The bolt should shoot into an inch, and hopefully, the Scout will do around 2" at 100 yards out of the box...maybe not. Everyone should own one of each...just sayin'... TC

    Rifle Scopes Sightron S1

    Re: Sightron S1 In it's price range...possibly. Not as good as their S2 line with better glass and also low priced. For a hunting rifle the new Redfields are pretty slick for $150 and Leupold lifetime warranty. TC

    cant break savage barrel nut

    Re: cant break savage barrel nut Sometimes they stick or have some locktite or corrosion or residual bluing salts... Don't beat on it...apply a little heat with a torch to the nut and it will come loose. TC

    Rifle Scopes 20" Barrel, FGM168bthp Suggestions pls

    Re: 20" Barrel, FGM168bthp Suggestions pls You should have a 1/10 twist barrel on your Savage, but either way, the 168gr or 175gr will be fine at 500 yards. Try them both and see which one your rifle shoots best. TC

    M1A Scout Problems

    Re: M1A Scout Problems What you are describing does not sound like a head space issue. The bolt roller needs to have clearance to the receiver...that is a common problem with factory rifles because they don't check this, but sometimes the rollers just come off regardless. As to the other...

    all of this barrel twist rates is confusing me.

    Re: all of this barrel twist rates is confusing me. From what I've observed, a 1/9 twist will handle any standard bullet weight up to a 77smk. A-max and Bergers are in a different category, but all the 1/9 twist rifles I shot would shoot the 75 A-max well in handloads. You have to load them...
