    Rifle Scopes Who is running the SWFA SS HD 5-20X50.

    My 5-20HD is scheduled to go back to SWFA for replacement in December because the parallax and zoom are SO STIFF. Even with Aadland gripper and throw lever it's a fight to move them without both hands and a firm grip. Forget staying on target if they ever need any adjustment. Edit: Going back...

    Range Report 6.5 Creedmoor weight and velocity

    I ran the numbers on my .308 caliber and it shows 1828 ft/lbs of energy at 1000 yds. It's a 230gr A-Tip from a 300 PRC. :)

    Need some guidance on loading

    This whole message thread is one of the reasons I love my Redding T7 turret press. No die swapping required. I have 4 turret heads and it takes about 45 seconds to swap turret heads when I need to.

    Rifle Scopes Who is running the SWFA SS HD 5-20X50.

    I bought a 5-20HD about 6 years ago that I still use on my 260Rem. I would completely agree with what Secant said. I would not purchase the 5-20HD again given the other options in that price range.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 10x vs. 12x

    I had both 10x and 12x. Once I got out the 1000-1200 yds I preferred the 12x (I had 3 of them). I have subsequently standardized on the Athlon Midas TAC scopes.

    Bipod comparison

    I recently ordered a Magpul 933 bipod and it's..... the worst. It wobbles badly fore/aft and a little side/side. There does not appear to be any way to 'tighten' up the fore/aft wobble. Atlas is beyond my price point so I will stick with Harris for now.

    Scope caps - Why flip up rather than to right?

    I have two of the Vortex Defenders caps and they tend to not want to stay closed very well. Give them a stern look and 'pop' they open prematurely.

    Rifle Scopes Sunshade for Athlon Midas TAC 5-25x56 scope?

    I am looking for a sunshade for the Athlon Midas TAC 5-25x56 and I don't see one listed on the Athlon website (https://athlonoptics.com/product/rifle-scopes-midas-btr-riflescope-50mm-sunshade/). It appears the sunshade for the Ares BTR/Midas BTR work with the Midas TAC 50, but no mention of the...

    Rate my planned build..

    I will only comment on your scope choice. I love SWFA and I have had several 12X fixed that I love and I have had a 5-20HD for the last 6 years. Ever since new the parallax and zoom adjustments have been stupid tight (even with Aadland gripper and Switchview throw lever). I just can't recommend...

    Rifle Scopes Chronus BTR or Ares ETR

    And I'm betting the 'new' Cronus is going to cost a lot more than $1149. :)

    MDT Oryx Chassis

    I am currently building a 284 Win with a Savage 110BA LA action in an MDT Oryx chassis. I am waiting for the McGowen barrel which is being throated for ELDM 180s set at 3.24" COL. I am using Magpul PMAG MAG671 (30-06) magazines. My rounds feed perfectly with these magazines in the Oryx...

    for those Republicans who thought it right to vote for Obama.....

    I'm pretty sure it's McCain's fault (RIP). He selected the mayor of Moose Jaw as his VP running mate. Yeesh.

    Gunsmithing Barrel threading for suppressor

    I would be unhappy with that job. When I get a new barrel I install it (temporarily) to headspace and mark TDC (top dead center) on the barrel and then I give the new barrel and muzzle brake to my gunsmith for him to thread the barrel and clock the brake. And this is the result.

    Co-AX, RCBS Or Redding T7?

    I have only used my Redding T7 so I have nothing to compare it with. I have 4 turrets so it's extremely convenient having all the dies for my 5 LRP calibers (full length, neck bushing, seater), 5.56, 9mm, and 35 Rem all ready to go at a moments notice. It takes about 45 seconds to swap turrets.
