    Short Action Magnums

    I'm thinking this may be the route to go. If this was a fun rifle I'd be looking elsewhere, but as a hunting gun, I'm finding it hard to dismiss the 300 wsm over the other options for energy, ammo, brass, etc. It all just seems to be right.

    Short Action Magnums

    Short action. I have stocks, actions, etc for short action. I have no interest in medium length.

    Short Action Magnums

    Help me pick a short action magnum, please! Alright folks, so I'm looking to build a dedicated hunting rifle sooner than later this year so I can get time on it before season starts. I'm actively looking at short action magnums, as I believe they offer incredible performance in a small...

    Drastic Impact Shift. Position vs Parallax vs Lighting?

    Hey all, I'd like to discuss something I have noticed recently regarding a somewhat drastic impact shift in my loads at distance. To start, my data has been validated and trued. I've shot both my 140bthp and 140 eld loads in many conditions, and haven't seen much like this. I'm shooting at...

    Building a "precision" hunting rifle

    This is the route I think I'm going down, it seems a lot of people are of similar opinions for a hunting rifle.

    Building a "precision" hunting rifle

    Mostly deer with the chance of elk, all in Colorado. I love everything about 7saum except rifle selection and having to load for it.

    Building a "precision" hunting rifle

    Hey folks, round 2 of this discussion for me. I've been convinced that a somewhat purpose built hunting rifle is what I need for my next bolt gun. So, I'm used to lugging a 14lb rifle around for hunting season, as 99.9% of my shooting is PRS style shooting. I'd like to build up a hunting rifle...

    Semi Custom vs Factory: Rifle #2 6.5 PRC

    That rail you linked is awesome, thank you. And, after thinking long and hard about it, I think you all may have convinced me to build a rifle that is more geared towards hunting than enjoyment at the range. I'm starting to think something around 9-10 lbs would be a great rifle. I'm looking...

    Semi Custom vs Factory: Rifle #2 6.5 PRC

    Alright folks, I'm looking for some guidance and input on my plans for my next rifle. I currently have a Bergara b14 hmr in 6.5 Creedmoor. I shoot matches with it, shoot at the range with it, and hunt deer/elk in Colorado with it. I love it at the range and for matches, but with a suppressor it...

    Athlon Helos gen2 2-12x42

    I just stumbled across the Athlon Helos BTR GEN2 2-12×42. I know it is an incredibly new optic, but I am wondering if anyone here has their dirty hands on one yet and can provide some initial impressions. Magnification range, reticle, elevation...

    Have you ordered one? Did they give an ETA?

    Athlon Helos gen2 2-12x42

    I would agree for sure. Starting at 1 mil is a bit far, but, it's one of the only donut/Christmas tree style reticles I've seen in a budget optic. Who else does the donut/Christmas hybrid with a mil reticle in the 1-10 or 2-xx range? Vortex on the 1-10, nf on the atacr, atibal?, Athlon with...

    I just stumbled across the Athlon Helos BTR GEN2 2-12×42. I know it is an incredibly new optic, but I am wondering if anyone here has their dirty hands on one yet and can provide some initial impressions. Magnification range, reticle, elevation adjustment, etc all look amazing to me. The...

    Shoulder Bump

    Hey folks. Long story short, I'm playing with shoulder bump measurements as I plan to prep over 1,000 pieces of 6.5 creedmoor brass. Using a FL sizing die. Factory Hornady and Berger(Lapua) brass/loaded ammo all measures the same for me using a headspace gauge, with incredible consistency...

    3x5 Reference and Data Cards, updated

    Thanks! Pretty excited to have it fully built out. It's been nice to have my stuff organized and most importantly, accessible. I just wanted one spot for some reference info, field info just in case, data backups, and data gathering tools. I think a little 3x5 packet that gets that done is...
