    Discomfort when shooting prone due to stock design?

    What are you using for a front rest? Bipod? Sand bags? Many people need to raise the front rest when going from bench shooting to prone position in order to get comfortable.

    Your first long range rifle

    Savage LRP in 260 Rem.

    Which rifle for me?

    Like a Bushnell Elite 3200 10X for $200 or an SWFA 10X/12X for $300. Good way to get started in LR shooting 'on a budget'.

    Load Data for 6.5x284 IMP 4350 Question

    I have read quite a few people say that their rifles like IMR4350 better than H4350. I would just do a powder load test and see what happens. After not seeing H4350 for almost a year I gave up and switched to RL17.

    Reloading cost

    I assume $0.36/rd for Varget is a typo?

    Acceptable variance in velocity?

    #1) 20" Barrel is not helping your velocity #2) Your ES is 84 which is POOR for long range precision rounds. My 260 Rem load normally has an ES of about 20fps for 10 rounds. #3) Your SD is 28.6 which is POOR for long range precision rounds. My 260 Rem load normally has an SD less then 8 for 10...

    Rifle Scopes One of those annoying new guys with scope questions...

    Out to 1000 yards hitting milk jug sized target? No need for 20X zoom. How about Vortex PST 4-16x50 with mil/mil and SFP? Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 Riflescope FREE S&H Best Rated Vortex PST-416S1 Heck, I can consistently hit the 6" gong at 1000 yds with a fixed 12X scope if the wind isn't too bad.

    260 REM Best load thoughts?

    I'm not the most experienced guy, but in every one of my rifles I have found that the extra velocity from the lighter bullets does not overcome the lower BC when you are shooting 1000+ yards. But that's just my experience. These days it's more about what bullets you can find in stock. :)

    Need a high end rifle recommendation!

    Why does it need to be 'high end'? What is 'high end'? Why is weight not an issue? Will you be hunting from your front porch with a deer feeder 600-700 yards away?

    Rifle Scopes Opinion on FFP scopes under $2500

    You've asked the equivalent of "What car should I buy for $50,000?". Everyone is going to reply that whatever they have is best for you. Your only constraint is you want FFP. Almost every scope in that price range is FFP.

    140 Hybrid Questions

    How sure are you that they are really 140 Hybrids? I'm pretty sure they are not if they are 1.2xx".

    Sturdy tripod for a range spotting scope

    Since this spotting scope tripod will be used exclusively for range work I decided the much better stiffness and damping provided by the carbon fiber legs would be worth the extra $ over the aluminum.

    Sturdy tripod for a range spotting scope

    B&H Photo has the Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 Carbon Fiber Tripod on sale for $299 so I went ahead and ordered one. Hopefully this tripod and the Manfrotto MVH500AH fluid head I already received will provide a stable platform for my spotting scope. Thanks for all the advice/recommendations.

    Problems with stability of Swarovski ATX 95mm scope

    The Manfrotto MVH500AH fluid head I ordered recently arrived earlier this week. It's a huge upgrade functionality wise for my Razor HD 85mm spotting scope. I'm still using it on my Gitzo (photography) tripod until I decide which tripod I want for the spotting scope. I'm currently leaning...
