    Rebarreling 300WM - what calibers will give me better barrel life?

    Thanks to all for the replies! IMR 4350. For the first few hundred I was trying out IMR 4064 and IMR 4831. I have pushed the bullets out 0.080" off the lands, but I will be very close to getting the boat tail up into the neck if i go much farther. (The 200 AB has a very long boat tail on...

    Rebarreling 300WM - what calibers will give me better barrel life?

    I have a Remington 700 chambered in 300 Win Mag that will be needing a new barrel later this year. It currently has a 24" stainless steel tube with 1/10 twist. The throat is getting out there and my accuracy has been dropping off - no longer consistently below an MOA. The round count is...

    Rifle Scopes Thinking of other options for the USO 1-8 SR8c for SPR work

    I have the SR-8S with C2 reticle on an AR10 and have the same complaints as you. I also found the eyebox at 8x way too small. I just rolled the dice earlier today and ordered a Swarovski Z6 1-6x24 with CD reticle (I prefer non-illuminated reticles). I liked that the USO was FFP, and their other...

    New to precision shooting caliber selection help

    Start on the .308, and by the time you get to 1000 yards, it will be time for a new barrel and you can move into a caliber more effective at those distances.

    Kimber mountain .308 or 30-06

    Not to drive this off topic, but the kimber is one of the the few guns that comes in 280AI from the factory. How can you pass that up?

    Who buys factory 30-06 ammo for rifles??

    I bet 150 grains is your problem. Who has a .30-06 to shoot light projectiles with low BC?

    What should I torque my McMillan stock to?

    Just keep the torque the same during load development. Only change one thing at a time to see how that affects your results. MFG spec is probably your best choice until you get every thing else dialed in.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce v US Optics

    Most of my time in the fall is spent with a S&B Zenith or Zeiss Victory Diavari and the glass in those scopes is second to none and I have come to expect the same from my tactical scopes. I curently own three USO Scopes (SR-8S, MR-10, and LR-17) and have nothing but praise for them. The...

    Anybody w/ FDE Cerakoted Bolt Guns?

    Custom Gun Coatings. They also did the the barreled action, magazines, and bipod.

    To those with camo stocks and cerekoted metal

    I know I Cerakoted my barreled actions because the bare stainless is reflective when hunting. A flat black anodized scope is not. It might be best in the future to worry about your own gear rather than bash others.

    Rifle Scopes Why no love for Mark 4 with M5 turrets?

    I have a 3.5-10x40 with mil-dot and M5 knobs. My complaints are that there is no illuminated reticle option and the parallax doesn't have distances listed. Other than that, it is a great scope. It tracks dead-on and the glass is very clear. The low light capabilities don't compare to Zeiss...

    I need a company recommendation to finish my Remington 700

    Any first hand experience with them blue printing and re-barreling your rifle? I am sending a 700 off to TX the day after deer season ends, but I am looking at a 8 month turnaround. A local smith and more reasonable turnaround would be ideal...but not at the cost of anything less than world...

    My Remington 700 built by Hill Country Rifles. It currently wears a Zeiss Diavari-V 1.5-6x42...but I have a new USO MR-10 that will be put on after deer season. It will also be re-barreled at the end of season (got over 2k through her).
