    7MM-08 Ackley Improved Help!

    The 7-08 Imp 40° is best with 120-140gn bullets. You can get 3000-3050fps with it without leaning too hard. If I need more I step up to a long throat 7mmRM pushing 162-195gn bullets. My 7-08 Imp was a 22" Lilja #2 on a 700Ti loaded to 2.80" in the blind mag. It was light, accurate, and mild...

    Borescope rust?

    It's copper and it's clean enough.

    Spotting scope search

    I've largely transitioned to a Swaro 15x bino for everything from long range glassing, to spotting, to RO'ing. I get way less eye fatigue, way more FOV, better depth, and I can see trace better. A reticle is nice but not necessary in all situations. I really don't pull out a spotter unless I'm...

    Spotting scope search

    The Bushnell LMSS is the only one I'd consider and they are still only ok. The focus is a little touchy and CA is noticeable. Size and shape are its real pros.

    The Leupold is really hard to beat for the size and weight.

    Rifle Scopes Best Throw Levers for Nightforce Atacr 5-25 / 7-35

    How long have you been using the PTL? They work perfectly fine for me. If they are new scopes, give it a chance. I used to have big throw levers on some other scopes but have grown to really like the low profile of the NF PTL and Swaro integrated fin.

    Need advice for the best in class for variable optic for 2 gun and general purpose 5.56

    The 1-10x definitely has a smaller reticle viewing area than the 1-6x. I really like the reticle in the 1-10x with its translucent center, I just wish they put wind dots in the MRAD reticle like they did the MoA. It definitely has a better illumination design; I've had 4 of the 1-6x break...

    Building Rifle around 195 EOL with Surgeon 1086 Long Action

    You can definitely do it with the 7mmRM. I have a long throat reamer for that bullet.

    Gunsmithing Surgeon 1086 LA and CIP+ Length Magazines

    I have a 7mmRM reamer set up for what you are trying to do. I'll look for notes but the 183gn SMK I have loaded are 3.500" long and the 195gn EOL will fit in the 3.775" mag. IIRC, they load at about 3.6" OAL. I went to shooting monos for hunting and am shooting up the last of my 183gn SMK, 162gn...

    10x scopes

    I think the 42mm with RDS is going to be superior and if it were FFP it's what I'd buy, no question. Before rules changed in this match, the ATACR 4-16x with a RDS was money. A real rifle-scope is going to be better than an LPVO for what I need but nobody makes a great 10x.

    375 CheyTac 1 in 10.5 Twist and Berger 379/407 VLD Solids

    I shot the 379gn through a 1-8" barrel for Ko2M because you need that level of stability to get a long mono through trans.

    10x scopes

    I sold a 24mm and 32mm. I wish I kept the 32mm for a hunting gun. I'm probably going to get a 42mm for another hunting gun. For this gun I do need FFP and prefer a tree because it will be used for shooting out to 700m and, more importantly, at night where I do not want to be limited to 10x for...

    AR10 Optimal Gas / Buffer

    My answer to the dual gas issue is an OSS can. I can run them the same as unsuppressed and they only move a half clock position with no change to accuracy/precision/reliability.

    #1 Rifle: Remington CSR 308.

    I didn't read the Bible written above but I've actually had a CSR, both the Remington and Surgeon, and they are good for what they are. They won't run with a full size gun but they are awesome for what they were built for. The RACS is absolutely overpriced (like more than twice what it's worth)...

    I'm having to modify a 419 rail to clean up that gap. The Salmon River doesn't fit the bottom metal inlet as cleanly as I wanted.

    Compass Lake Engineering 6.5 CM question

    I'm getting 2615fps from Hornady Match 140gn ELD-M out of my 6.5CM with 22" RLGS+2 so I don't think you are seeing crazy low velocity. My gun shoots with good precision/accuracy, shoots soft, and it's reliable which is more important than fast.

    I'm not sure. I usually get them in about 6 months or so and when I called they said they weren't sure why it has taken so long but there was an issue with my inlet. It wasn't an issue last year because I'm gone most falls lately but this year I'm home and wanted the gun to hunt with so I called...

    Rifle Scopes NF ATACR 4-16 vs 4-20 vs 5-25

    Between the three, I like the 4-16x for mid range work. I use the 7-35x and 5-25x at work and have used the 4-20x some. If I'm going to mount a big scope it's going to be the 7-35x (what I spent my money on for a match optic). Anymore, I really use either a 1-10x/1-8x or a 7-35x but like having...

    I'm about to do the same thing when mine finally ships after 14 months.
