    Identify my Remington 700?

    This rifle was one of my Grandfather's. It is mine now and I plan to do some long range shooting and hunting with it. It is chambered in .30-06. I don't know much about 700s, I know some had a safety issue, and I know they're supposed to be pretty accurate. My Grandfather was an avid hunting...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-6x24 for my .243?

    It will definitely be used for hunting :) Any more suggestions?

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-6x24 for my .243?

    Its mostly based on handling Vortex binos that I wasn't at all impressed with. Probably not an accurate view of all their products so I'm willing to keep an open mind. That said, I looked at a Vortex 1-6x24 the other day that was 50% more expensive than SWFA's, heavier and SFP so I'm not sure...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-6x24 for my .243?

    Re: Vortex, I want a scope that is as small as possible, which is why I like the 1-6x24. Also I don't really like Vortex in general... SWFA seems to make better stuff.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-6x24 for my .243?

    Hm... awesome feedback! I was thinking a longer range scope would be more appropriate for the .30-06 because it has a longer effective range... that said, you guys raise some good points. I'll keep thinking on this one before I pull the trigger.. Leupold's 1.1-8x20 would be great but $3000 is a...

    Any thoughts on the Leupold 1.25-4x20 VX-R Patrol?

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-6x24 for my .243?

    I want to add that I don't have any particular desire for reticle illumination. I'm bummed that they don't offer any non-illuminated 1-6x24s. Any others I should look at? Optics are #1 in importance.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 1-6x24 for my .243?

    After a successful hunting season with my .243 + 5-20x50 SS HD, I'm thinking about changing things around a bit. My father had a .30-06 hunting rifle (don't know the maker or model, will pick it up today), that would work great with my 5-20. Assuming recoil isn't an issue, I would move the...

    .243 Reloading Variance

    Anyone have recommendations for a better powder and load? The Lyman Reloading Handbook has IMR-4350 max charge at 41.5g for my 80gs, I didn't want to push too close to the safety threashold. Also, I didn't do any case prep. I've read a bit and need to get an ultrasonic cleaner, measure the...

    .243 Reloading Variance

    I took my pre-64 Winchester Model 70 out today. I have always shot 100g Remington Core-Lokt through it and it has performed well. I recently used almost all my 100gs and over the last month have been unable to find them in any store. So I decided to break out my reloading gear and give it a...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Ring Question

    Also does anyone know what height I should go for? The old Weaver scope with nearly-flat rings nearly touches the barrel, and its probably a 30mm if not smaller. Those Leupold High rings seem like they'd be the right height to fit the scope, yeah?

    Rifle Scopes Scope Ring Question

    I can't seem to find any of those brands locally, the best I've found are these Leupold rings. How are those, at least for the .243?

    Rifle Scopes Scope Ring Question

    I ordered an SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 the other day (yay!) and need some new scope rings. The fixed power Weaver scope on my pre-64 Winchester Model 70 is about 60 years old and is maybe a 4x32, so the current rings won't work. I plan on using this scope/ring combo on rifles up to .300 Win Mag...

    Rifle Scopes Few more Scope questions

    I'm leaning heavily toward Nightforce's NXS 2.5-10x42 or 3.5-15x50. That said, I want to get a little more information about some of its competitors. Trijicon's 5-20x50 looks like a solid contendor. The glass seems to be essentially the same as Nightforce's NXS 3.5-15x50, and the scope is...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 Question

    Anyone have documented confirmation? It makes sense to me and I'm inclined to take your word for it, but $1500+ is a lot to go by word of mouth :P

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 Question

    Because this scope is SFP, at what focal range is the Mil-dot (or MOAR, whatever) reticle accurate? I'm considering this scope for combination hunting/long range shooting and if the reticle is accurate at 10x then it would probably work for me.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Advice 2.0

    I'm wondering how much I need FFP. If SFP is accurate when fully zoomed and I get a scope that tops out at 10x or 15x (assuming that is enough), would I really be using the mil-dot at shorter magnifications? What about fixed focal length scopes?
