    Rifle Scopes Mount opinions and options please

    Every company has a different definition of "medium" etc. Best to pick a ring you want and then research those heights.

    Rifle Scopes MOAR vs MOAR-T

    I have the standard MOAR and don't think I would want the reticle any thinner. I have no experience with the "T" version though, so I am just assuming I wouldn't like it.

    260Rem is awesome!!

    How long is your barrel? I was stuck at 2650 before hitting pressure. Hovering at 2950 with 123's.

    260Rem is awesome!!

    I'm shooting 123's Scenars in my 6.5x55. I tried 140's but the velocity fell off a lot. I think the 140's are better in the bigger 6.5's.

    Recommendations for a 'smith to work on a Savage?

    He mentioned a bunch of accuracy "facts" that just didn't jive. Also didn't like the upsell. I had Fred do work in the past and was very pleased, but getting ahold of him is impossible. Spoke to a couple other smiths about redrilling my action, and they said they needed a jig for a Savage, and...

    Recommendations for a 'smith to work on a Savage?

    Emailed SSS and didn't get a reply, hard to reach by phone. Spoke to Stockade, didn't get a good vibe. The background is this...I have a 110 Long action currently without barrel. The action was coated in the past, bolt fluted, trigger reworked, blah blah blah. I am not a big Savage fan...

    Rifle Scopes Cant vs no cant on base

    Scopes seem to work best in the middle of their adjustment range. When shooting distance, you can quickly be on one end of the tube without a canted base.

    GA Precision waiting time??

    They are very busy, and it could take up to a week to get a call back, but they will call and answer all your questions.

    Rifle Scopes First vs second focal plane

    I should expand on my prior post. I like SFP scopes simply because I am a hunter first, and long range is just for fun. I have never competed in a long range shoot etc. That being said, the ability to dial the scope back and still be able to see the reticle in the timber is more of a priority to...

    Rifle Scopes First vs second focal plane

    Odd man out, but I like SFP scopes. I like that the reticle isn't too thin on low power.

    $2000 and no REAL idea

    I'm a troll because I read more than I post? Chad's build offers features that you don't need on a "budget" rifle that will get your to 1000yds. Not to mention a Bell and Carlson instead of a McMillan.

    determining max cartridge pressure/velocity

    One of the surest signs of being over pressure is erratic spread in your velocities (tested over chrono), which usually means poor accuracy too. So it isn't much good to chase 100fps only to have your groups open up. I know in the USA we have more options, but sounds like you need a powder with...

    Tikka T3 custom build

    Either the action is straight or it isn't. A gunsmith should be able to tell. That being said, I know of a few places that insist on truing all actions regardless and charge accordingly. I personally don't think you would have to dick with it, just make sure the smith indexes the barrel runout...

    $2000 and no REAL idea

    Skip the fluff and you can come in way under $2000. Coatings look neat, but nothing trumps stainless. Fluted bolts, knobs, fancy paint jobs, blah blah blah. Either buy a Tikka in 308 for $650 or so, add a McMillan at $500, and you still have $850 for glass and mounts. Or spend part of that...

    .260 Remington Build by Southwest Precision - UPDATE: Load Development

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce SHV?

    I think Nightforce dropped the ball when they made the elevation turret only good for 10MOA per revolution, yet no zero stop. You are almost always going to be past one revolution at distance.

    Tikka Rifles

    Not only are they better than a 710, they trump a 700 too. They have a real trigger, side bolt release, a better extractor, a better bolt handle, and a Sako barrel. You can also convert them to use the AI mags too. Faulting a Tikka for "plastic" is like faulting every polymer pistol like Glock.
