    16" .308 Projectile

    Re: 16" .308 Projectile I can only speak from experience regarding whitetails, antelope and elk. Non-hunting .308 bullets I used once on all three resulted in: An antelope shot at 200ish yards...looked like an RPG hit it where the exit wound was located on the rib cage. A whitetail shot at...

    Larue has pmags in stock...

    Re: Larue has pmags in stock... I ordered two 20-rd .308s at 5:57 a.m. central time and got a emailed invoice. Nothing else since. I guess no news is good news. I'd assume they'd honor an order placed before the huge red banner went up. FWIW, I'm building a .308 AR, which probably won't be...

    M1 Garand info

    Re: M1 Garand info I saw a crappy looking one for sale locally yesterday and it had an $1100 price tag on it. My one criticism of yours is the stock. If I was trying to sell it I'd strip it again and apply a coat of gunny's paste. (Made with 1 part each bees wax, true tung oil and...

    Re: Where did your NightForce fall short? I had a 2.5-10X32. It was a great scope in almost every way but I like glass better in Premier or S&B scopes.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more! Based on the quality of the SS 1-4, I'd guess that the SS 1-6 would hold up against any comparable offering that was twice the retail price of $1000. Seems like some people are just upset because they were hoping to net one for $600 by...

    Range Report Help with 308 load question

    Re: Help with 308 load question Turk, good to hear...sounds like you got it worked out great. George63, that sounds like a method I'd like to combine with chronograph-measured MVs. I'd want all other variables, particularly the BC (I only trust Berger/Litz numbers), correct. Also, if using...

    Rifle Scopes Bad experience with SWFA, buyers beware

    Re: Bad experience with SWFA, buyers beware You never did say if you tried to contact them. And it is clear on their order form: "subtotal does not include tax or shipping" There's also a shipping estimator.

    Atlas or Harris? Help me decide...

    Re: Atlas or Harris? Help me decide... I've never once felt like I was going to overload an Atlas on any .308. I prefer them, but a 9-13" Harris S with a KMW PodLoc is not far behind.

    Rifle Scopes Scope mounting tools?

    Re: Scope mounting tools? + 1 on the Borka and feeler gauges. You will find, BTW, that if you stack the gauges tight when you tighten the rings down it may be hard to slide them out. You can go a hair under and still use them to level the base of the scope to the rail. Just push down on the...

    Range Report Range/Bullet trajectory question

    Re: Range/Bullet trajectory question I had a Swiss K31 that would print tight groups but put Prvi Partisan 2" higher and 2" to the right of Swiss surplus. It shot just as well in terms of accuracy. That rifle had a purposely stressed barrel.
