    Rifle Scopes Scope for first precision rifle

    If you can't swing the Athlon Chronos get the Ares ETR. Killer scope for the money and Athlon is a great company with a superb warranty.

    6.5 Grendel build (Barrel twist rate)

    I took my 12.5" Ballistic Advantage barreled SBR out to 1000 using the 123 ELD-M at only 2350. It took some work but I did it. I have assembled many 6.5 Grendels with a bunch of barrels. IMHO the Odin Works 20" with the matching BCG, adjustable gas block/tube in intermediate length is the...

    6.5 Creedmoor for a mile?

    I am going to try it next spring too with my Kelbly's/AIAX .260. My current load is pushing 2840FPS with the Hornady 147 ELD-M. Ballistic AE is saying I go transonic at 1700 yards with elevation at 19 mils. Should be fun!

    H4350 vs Imr 4451 charge for equivalent load

    Wow 41.2 sounds low for the .260 with H4350. I started my ladder at 42.5 and went all the way to 45. My rifle likes 43.5 with the 147 ELD-M's pushing them 2830 out of my 28" barrel. I am using new Peterson brass and the 43.5 shows absolutely no pressure. I had another node at 44.2 which was...

    Rifle Scopes Stopgap rifle scope

    You may end up keeping that Ares. It is one heck of a scope for the price. I have an Ares, Chronos and two Midas' for hunting. Just killer for the price.

    Still in love with Criterion

    Sorry went back and checked my log book. 3240 FPS LOL. My memory sucks. My dope was 29 minutes at 1000. Power Pro is a killer powder for the 22-250.

    Still in love with Criterion

    I had the exact barrel in an XLR Evolution and just loved it! Try 32.6g of Alliant Power Pro 2000 under the 80g ELD-M (former Amax). Mine was running 3440 and sub MOA at 1000!

    Replacement Foam for a Storm 3300 case

    You can get them pre-cut at the Foam Factory to fit your case. 15.5x13.5x3 runs about $20 each. This is the firm charcoal foam. It's not quite as dense as the factory Pelican stuff but it works great and is easy to cut...

    New - LaRue 6.5 Grendel Rifle

    Not in my Grendel but I have in other rifles. I loaded a bunch of .30 cal 280g for my friends .338 Lapua. They shot well all the way to a mile. Most of my deer hunting shots are under 200 yards so the 130 TTSX's are just fine.

    6.5 Grendel: Faxon 20" Heavy or Brownells (Satern) 18"/24"?

    Faxon of those choices. I love the new Odin Works Grendel barrels with matched bolts and intermediate gas tube and adjustable gas block.

    New - LaRue 6.5 Grendel Rifle

    The Larue looks like a nice rifle for sure. I’m a huge Grendel nut and am happy to see some quality manufacturers getting into the Grendel. The standard seems to be an 18” barrel to keep the speed up. 2500 FPS is hardly fast but the excellent BC on the 123 ELD-M allows it to perform very well in...

    Atlas Tactical Quality

    I finally got to shoot mine at distance. Put 90 rounds throught it Friday. Did not take any pics but it was easily sub MOA at 1000. The Athlon Chronos is spectacular as is the AIAX Chassis. With the fat barrel and TBAC Ultra 9 the .260 has virtually no recoil. I could shoot it all day...

    Boyd’s gunstocks

    I just put together this Savage .270 with an AT-ONE stock using parts around the shop. Came out very nice. I love the push button adjustment. It only comes with a flush cup on the back so I had to put one on the front. I just drilled in the right place and screwed one in.

    Precision hunting round

    Why so big and fast? As mentioned Hogs are not difficult to kill as are whitetails. I'm more about light weight and short. I hate carrying heavy rifles. A short 308 in a light bolt action would be maximum for me in a larger caliber. My go to all around hunting caliber is the 6.5 Grendel. Loaded...

    Atlas Tactical Quality

    Yeah holy crap right? I ain't no Chris Kyle. LOL BTW the Petersons .260 brass is fabulous. I hope with my low pressure load I can get lots or reloads.

    Cold Weather Shooting Gear?

    Ok I admit it I'm old now and can't deal with that acclimatization crap! After years of motorcycling I have learned that nothing works as good as electricity. Get a good Gerbing 12v heated vest you will keep your core heat up. Good gloves, hat and boots will keep the rest warm but core heat is...
