    Change of plans and need barrel contour recommendation

    All of my custom rifle barrels are Shilen #7 LV (0.850" at the muzzle). But then they aren't hunting rifles.

    Impressed by Bushnell?!

    My first rifle scope was a Bushnell Elite 3200 10X fixed mil-dot. Midway had it on sale for $200 and Bushnell had a $75 rebate for "any" Elite scope so the net cost was $125. I learned a lot with that scope. If nothing else it has a fixed parallax so I learned how to stay aligned behind the...

    300 WinMag vs 300 PRC vs 300 Norma

    How long do those 3100+ fps 300 Norma Mag barrels last? Or is that irrelevant same as how long do tires last on a Hellcat/Demon?

    How far?

    This * 2 That scope is just about the worst choice possible for ELR. Even a $300 SWFA 12X fixed with 35mil elevation would be a much better choice.

    custom barrel factory rifle ?

    Does the Long Range Hunter use a large shank? I have a 110BA (from 300 win mag) action and it's a standard shank.

    Ruger Precision 338 LM

    Assuming it's the same trigger as the Ruger RPR 300PRC then it's mediocre. I replaced my RPR trigger with the Timney drop-in and it's MUCH better.

    Small rifle primers...how cold is "too cold"?

    I'm starting to collect components for my 'next' rifle. It will be a 6 Creedmoor. I live in central Florida so I don't have to worry about cold weather issues, but I had to decide between LRP and SRP brass and I opted for LRP brass (ADG) simply because I have around 15,000 LRP but only 3000 SRP...

    Production bolt action rifle in .223 with 1/8 or 7

    FYI, this thread was dead and buried for over 8 years before it was unceremoniously resurrected. I'm pretty sure the OP has already figgered out what his plan is. :)

    Mmmm, donuts....

    My new 284 Win barrel (26", 1:8) was delivered from McGowen last week and I put the rifle together (Savage 110BA action, MDT/Oryx chassis) and shot my first 12 rounds with the rifle this weekend. My goal was to produce some fired brass that I could use to confirm that the barrel had been...

    Lab radar first shot velocity low?

    Mine does not do that. Is this artifact just the FIRST shot (cold bore) or first shot of a string?

    “Precision” AR accuracy expectations?

    My Precision Firearms Grendel 6.5 upper shoots consistently 1/2 MOA or better. Technically it's a Les Baer Custom 264 LBC barrel, but it's easier just to call it a 6.5 Grendel. :)

    Savage prefit Actions, a question

    You should talk to Jim at https://northlandshooterssupply.com/actions/savage and he will sort you out. I have bought 3 Savage actions from Northland.

    1000+ in east Tennessee? Or even 500+?

    It looks like I will be relocating to the Sweetwater/Athens area in a year or 2. I was wondering if there are any long range ranges in eastern TN? I did a search and came up with nada. I know K&M is in Hooterville in west central TN, but that's...

    Reaching out to 1500 (edit:1763) yards and excited about the results.

    In the grand scheme of LRP (and ELRP) barrels are a fairly cheap consumable. I always try to have a new barrel on order/ready to go when "it's time".

    Reaching out to 1500 (edit:1763) yards and excited about the results.

    Everything else being equal (same atmospheric conditions, muzzle velocity) this implies that the real world BC of the Scenar is slightly higher than the ELDX. BC does not change due to elevation changes (It does change with velocity changes). Changes of elevation (atmospheric conditions)...

    Reaching out to 1500 (edit:1763) yards and excited about the results.

    It must be nice to have places to shoot so far that are 'conveniently' located and not cost prohibitive. Here in central Florida the ELR options are limited.
