    6.5 prc vs. 28 nosler

    I live in Cali too. I haven’t reloaded for my 6.5 yet but when I do I’m going to look at the 100gr ttsx and push it as fast as I can for accuracy. I love the ttsx’s and can’t wait to see what they do on pigs this winter and spring.

    6.5 prc vs. 28 nosler

    The nosler hammers for a longggg way. Hunting in Colorado at 8-9kft my 28 has 2100fps and 2000ft/lbs at 1000yards. The PRC has 1950fps and 1200ft/lbs at 1000yds. If you don’t reload I would honestly go with a 300win mag and buy the Berger 215 factory ammo. I’ve heard and seen great things with...

    6.5 prc vs. 28 nosler

    Lots of questions before a answer could be given. What’s long range in your mind? Do you reload? Under 600 yards on elk size critters I’d pick the PRC. If you don’t reload PRC... everything passed 600 and if you reload the 28nosler between the two cartridges you listed. I have both and as a...

    Barrett Fieldcraft info/thoughts

    My 6.5 is shooting sub MOA with S&B $12 ammo. That’s not to brag but to say these rifles are accurate even with the cheapest ammo. I would take @Mike Islander advice and check everything else. Start with reliable scope, torque specs, and maybe try shooting with free recoil. Light weight rifles...

    Rifle Scopes Scope my Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5

    I just took off my VX5 3-15 duplex and put on a razor HD 2-10. I like the reticle better and want to see how it does in the off season while shooting out to 800.

    Rifle for the wife unit Seekins or Bergara

    I have a seekins PH1 6 creed and it’s a hammer. I also have a tikka CTR 6.5 and Barrett FieldCraft 6.5. All three are .5MOA out of the box with the correct ammo.... it depends on what the application is. For hunting from truck or blind the CTR for the price is really hard to beat. If hiking...

    Rifle Scopes Scope my Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5

    I actually took advantage of that sale and ordered the 6x42... the VX5HD has been working great so far. I might put the SWFA on to see how I like. How do like the glass quality of the SWFA 6x42?

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    I can tell you with full confidence the factory 108’s will print bugholes. At least mine did and from others I’ve heard. I can reload and shoot faster but not more accurate. Factory 108’s shoot around 3020 and my reload Berger 105’s 3175. All consistent 1/2 MOA

    Rifle Scopes Leica 3000 HD-B

    Since there are some great deals on these binos and I need a new set I wanted to get some real world reviews. How is the glass stack up against Swaro EL and Zeiss Victory? How is the ballistic system? I think I read it only goes out 1000yards. Have they changed it to calculate ballistics...

    1st Tripod Setup

    I have this exact set up. this is my first shooting tripod. I've always had tripods for my spotter and binos. I've shot from them before and thought they were okay, as I could make 1-2 moa hits at 300... the new set up is night and day difference. the tripod is rock solid and the ball head locks...

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    Just put together my RT90 and DLow 55 ball head... made hits out to 800 standing up. Locks up tight, hoping the durability last. I wouldn’t hesitate to take shots at deer at 400 in a hunting situation.

    KRG Bravo Chassis

    If LOP is to long could you redneck it by using an old flip flop cut to shape and screw it on? Depending on caliber it should absorb enough recoil. Just thinking about some redneck rigs I’ve seen in the past!!

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    So after reading all the reviews I decided to pick up RT90c. I also picked up the Desmond DLOW-55. I haven’t seen as many reviews on this head but it looked like a knock off of the RRS anvil. Do you guys have any reviews on this set up for range work and hunting within a mile of the truck usage...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    The heads started to strip so I stopped. I might try and heat up the screws and see if that works. Any other ideas?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    so I have the same rail and I was planning on installing it on my CTR. The front two screws came out no problem the two screws closest to rear were on there so tight I started to strip the screws. I can’t get them off. What are you guys doing to get them off. And if they are stripped am I fucked...

    I believe short action precision also makes a two round holder. I bought two from them.

    Mid priced scale

    I’m using the Lyman 1500 scale. Closed off room. Sky light for lighting Not sure what a power cleaner is. Should I! I’ll check the level but it’s a level concrete floor with industrial table No electronics besides tumbler 4-5ft away. I’m OCD and seeing the drift drives me absolutely nuts when...

    Mid priced scale

    What is everyone using for mid priced digital scales? I am pulling my hair out having my scale drift .1-.4 even after I leave it plugged in 24/7. I know the $1000 scales are crazy accurate but I don’t want to spend that type of money.
