    I have 6.5 CM in both a manners and a KRG whiskey 3. In reading the thread on old scout forum I got a little lost. Interested in the rrs setup but would like to know the optimal setup with it and weight difference between Manfrotto setup discussed in my first post and the rrs. Thanks

    Tripod setup for tactical events and particularly long range hunting

    Was following thread on scout forum version about and am interested in a more solid and lighter easier to carry setup. Willing to spend the money if worth it. I currently run a Manfrotto 055 non carbon legs and 054 magnesium ball setup with hog saddle. Can I get advice for a lighter more stable...

    Rifle Scopes BEAST Zero-Stop Fix

    I talked to nightforce customer service today about the parallax knob feel. I started to question whether I heard right when I called few weeks ago. He told me same thing as before. That the Beast is hand made one at a time and each knob will feel different to different people. He said they...

    Rifle Scopes BEAST Zero-Stop Fix

    TNottingham, I experience the same parallax feel as you. Mine is very easy for part of the turn and harder for other part (I think the harder part is in the middle). I called Nightforce and the guy went and asked the designers (I think) and was told this is normal. Therefore, I dismissed it as...

    Gunsmithing 6.5 Creedmoor reamer question

    What I am worried about with the standard reamer is that I want to use the Berger VLD 's (both regular and hunting versions) and the hybrids all in 140 grain weights. I understand that the hybrids will probably be fine jumping to lands but I would think the VLDS need to be able to be seated to...

    Rifle Scopes Bought a S&B and Im not wow'd

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    See my post on page 3 #150. Joe at NK told me was a Bluetooth compatibility issue. Get a USB 2.0 for your pc. They are very cheap. Disable your existing one and plug into USB port and will probably fix it.

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Doc, can I use either or both ab Google play and/or companion to play with variables and add new profiles for other bullets and then load to kestrel (to bypass the pc ab program and BT to kestrel like I do now). I have read this thread thru a few times but info is coming in quicker than I can...

    Gunsmithing 6.5 Creedmoor reamer question

    Don't the Vlds NEED to get to lands? They might or might not. Hate to not be able to do that. So why not the .170 fb? Does that limit the Amax and smk if go that way?

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Doc, so if I am using my kestrel in the field to get all in one ab and weather meter how would having to deal with another device help me? Am sure there is a reason but I bought the kestrel with ab to get rid of reliance on Droid phone AND weather meter. I would think you would want EITHER a...
