    Rifle Scopes New Steiner T5Xi Tactical Rifle Scopes

    This looks like the most promising optic product release yet this year. I foresee Steiner scopes atop all of my rifles in the near future.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 5-20x50 HD vs Leupold Mark 6 3-18x44

    I had a Leupold Mk 6 3-18, and I have had quite a few SWFA 5-20x50 scopes. I really wanted the Mk 6 to be everything it was hyped up to be. However, I hated the turrets on the scope, and I felt like the glass was a step down from the SWFA 5-20 glass. The Mk 6 has a lot of nice features...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I was just wondering whether any DTA reps could give us an update on the rumored 10 round mags that are supposed to be coming out?

    No. The feed lips would be too wide to hold a 308 type cartridge.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Fireguyty asked me to post up a pic of a 308 mag modified to feed the 6.5 SAUM (or any SAUM family cartridge for that matter). All I did was take some pliers and proceeded to bend the feed lips until I got the cartridge sitting high enough out of the mag to be caught by the bolt and with a...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on Sightron Siii 3.5-10×44 lrirmoa

    I have a Sightron SIII 3.5-10x44 scope with the exposed turrets. They are superb. Glass is excellent. I would rate it as a definite step above the Vortex Viper PST range of glass. The turrets have a very positive feel to them, and tracking is spot on. The SIII 3.5-10x44 is by far the best...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I had fireguyty spin me up a barrel for my DTA in 6.5 SAUM, and I just wanted to write a quick review of the barrel. Ty did a great job with fast turnaround and great attention to detail. I finally received my SRS-A1 chassis and got a chance to shoot it these last few weekends. I sighted in...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    To those of you who have used both Remington and Norma 300 SAUM brass for forming 6.5 SAUM cases, have you had to reduce your charge at all using the Norma brass? I weighed some Remington brass and came up with about 218 grains per piece; whereas, the Norma brass was about 229 grains. I'm...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    This thread inspired me to build up a hunting weight 6.5 SAUM. I shot it last Saturday for the first time, and I am very impressed with it so far. I basically took the GAP load of 63.0 grains of H-1000 behind the 130 Berger VLD loaded to 2.900", plugged in 3200 fps into my ballistic app, and...

    Hunting & Fishing 1st Elk hunt, Nevada

    Good thing you had a strong packer along to help you haul that thing out. Those boned out hams were heavy! Congrats on a fine first bull. Hopefully that bull is a precursor of many more bulls to come! Now you are a full-fledged big game hunter, not just a hog shooter ;)

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 1-8.5x 4.5-30x Shot Show report BigJimFis

    Re: Bushnell 1-8.5x 4.5-30x Shot Show report BigJimFis Thanks for the review. How was the glass on the Bushnell XRS 4.5-30? Also, does this scope have the same lift and turn turrets that the HDMR has? I'm very curious to see how this scope stacks up against the big boys.

    Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread Does anyone know how the DTA 7 WSM barrels are throated? I'm just curious where the lands are at on these barrels to see how far out it's possible to seat the 180 Bergers.

    Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread Is there any information available on the new bolt? I understand it employs the same bolt for all caliber conversions with an interchangeable bolt face. Is that correct? Some pics and or any information would be greatly appreciated.
