    Rifle Scopes K525 SUCKS !!!!! SB PM2 5-25 vs K525 VS TT525P

    I realize there are limitations to a photograph of the image seen through a scope but I want to thank the OP for posting the pictures. As a comparison it gives me a much better idea of what to look for when judging image quality. I think my Razor has nice glass but it helps to have a better...

    Who uses an expander mandrel?

    I have both steel neck turn and expander mandrels for 6mm and 6.5. I've settled on the expander mandrel for giving me sufficient tension and I used a powdered graphite lube when running the case mouths over the mandrel. The mandrel plus the Redding FL type S die gives me good consistency for...

    Accuracy of Chronographs and reliance on SD's

    I've recorded data using my Oehler 35 for years and looks like I can trust its validity. I switched recently to MS thinking it was more accurate. That may not necessarily be true but the MS is much easier to use and not sensitive to light conditions. It's the only one I use anymore. Note: I...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I purchased my Omega back in mid March. I have now patiently waited 6 months though when I bought it I expected more like 7 months. Rant on Six months, seven months, whatever. It's absolutely ridiculous. Why the hell are we electronically strip searched up one side and down another as if...

    Beginners Gear Bag.

    If I'm shooting prone, some kind of a shooting mat. I tend to prefer a smaller lighter one that's easier to carry. I also like a small spiral notebook to keep all my range notes in chronological order.

    Help selecting a new rifle

    +1 on the Tikka T3X TAC A1 in 6.5CM. I mounted a Razor Gen II on it and have right at 15 mrad of elevation adjustment. That has easily taken me out to 1200 yds so far. If a 20 moa rail were easily swappable that would be great, but it's just not an option that I can find at present. But I...

    Steel animal targets

    I will put in a good word for my shootsteel.com prairie dog target. I got the steel popper with the legs. The reactive nature of the popper is great for seeing hits at 500yds where he's normally set and the legs to a great job getting the target set on uneven ground. His nickname is Rowdy and...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex HD gen II 4.5-27 question

    I have a Tikka T3X TAC A1 which has a full rail out front and I have the Razor Gen II. I used the Seekins 1.45" rings and there was just enough clearance for the Vortex Defender scope caps. Note the rail on the Tikka is 0 moa so if there were any tilt like on a 20moa pic rail you might not have...

    The Jesus Christ’s of LRF's - EuroOptic's Vectronix Sale

    Anyone going to chime in and give a first hand account of how good the Vector 23 really is? I mean if you're going to drop some serious coin to get the absolute best it might as well be that.

    Most Important Gear for a new shooter to acquire

    It may have already been said but when you shoot, shoot with a purpose. Give a little thought beforehand about what you want to do for a range session. And sometimes just having fun is an ok answer. But other times work on a particular position. Or recoil management. Or verify the accuracy...

    Range Report 6.5 Creedmoor Zero

    Hoping that's a typo, a 1 shot wonder, not wounder. I'll stop being a smartass for a second to agree that's also how I set up my hunting rifles. But for all the reasons listed above I think it makes more sense to set up my 6.5CM and 6mmCM for a 100yd zero. I don't dial elevation on my hunting...

    Have you verified your LRF's accuracy?

    Before I found this sight I was blissfully ignorant. I trusted the distance my lrf told me. I trusted the clicks on my scope. And I generally hit what I was shooting at until I went to SD for prairie dogs. Those little critters at long range are tough to hit. Now I don't blindly trust any...

    Looking for 6mm Creedmoor small primer brass - Lapua

    When I read the product description on Grafs website a few weeks ago I came away with the impression it wouldn't be available until sometime in the fall of this year. In the meantime Starline and Peterson have 6mm CM SRP brass. I've had good success with the srp brass from Starline in my...

    Need ideas on Arca rail for M-lok

    Do they? I was just on the Area 419 website and I only found the 12" length. Which is currently OOS. The 4" model from XLR looks good though for someone with limited length up front.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS specific questions

    I think we're all saying the same thing. I realize exit pupil is an optical property of the scope. The scope and stock function together with the stock helping to get your eye positioned correctly. I can say for sure that when I added even a little height to the comb my cheek more naturally...

    New 1000 yd world record.1.068”/50-5X

    A friend showed me a picture of the target last night. To tell the truth I didn't really believe it was a 1000yd group at the time. Just too amazing. After reading the article all I can say is congrats.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS specific questions

    I have the fixed 16x and it was my first real "long range" scope. It sits on my 308 and was the first scope where I could dial the elevation turret and have confidence that the adjustment was what I needed to hit a target at longer range. I started on our silhouette range at 520 yards and then...

    Nikon Black 4K LRF

    Nothing listed on the Nikon website about beam divergence. At least that I can find. I have a friend who was ready to pull the trigger on one but I cautioned him to take a closer look. I too wish these things lived up to the marketing hype in real world conditions. We shot at a range with...

    250 savage again

    My quarter bore is a pre-64 Win Model 70 in .257 Roberts. It is strictly a hunting rifle so I haven't been held back by the lack of high bc projectiles. I've had good results with the Hornady 117gr BTSP Interlock in my rifle. I used Reloaded 19. R17 wasn't out when I developed my load.
