    300 win mag vs 300 wsm

    I have heard something similar before which is why i have been considering the wsm. i have 3 worries though. 1, some are saying the wsm is dying out and prices are going way up for brass and reloading components. 2, it seems as though the best bang for the buck right now is the 300 wm running...

    300 win mag vs 300 wsm

    I would prefer the option to be mag fed. If i cannot do that with the tikka, i may just use a savage, remington, or howa long action. whichever will be most cheaply available that suits the needs.

    300 win mag vs 300 wsm

    i'm dealing with either rebarreling a short action which is the reason behind the wsm, or going with a tikka i have "access" to which doesn't really work so well with normal long action so it's iffy. 3rd option is to find some old savage long action. i guess norma would be do able but my main...

    300 win mag vs 300 wsm

    I really appreciate the info here. thanks. so with wsm, anything above the 190's i'm guessing we're just losing velocity and bc accordingly. question is, how much am i losing?

    300 win mag vs 300 wsm

    i'm trying to wrap my head around some specifics for the rifle i will eventually build. as far as the win mag vs the wsm for distances between 1000-1800, is there considerable difference that would warrant one over the other? i know that typically the wsm seems to get around 100 fps less with...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25 mr4 vs......... gen 2 razor.

    obviously not. but that's what the sfp guys support. which again.... that's why i said what i did about sfp to avoid these arguments. what is with people on the hide and throwing their opinions down people's throats when it's not what they are asking for. this is not the topic of the post. so...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25 mr4 vs......... gen 2 razor.

    i understand what you're saying and have witnessed it. that's also why i'm not very concerned with it and am still using ffp over sfp. i threw that bit in there to keep the sfp topic subdued. apparently that didn't work. however, there is no doubt a smaller reticle is more precise. at 2k it's...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25 mr4 vs......... gen 2 razor.

    you're failing to see the point. it's the fact that the reticle sub-tensions are no longer 1 for 1. now they are 2 for 1. that allows you to double your amount of hold over, i.e. every 1 mil of reticle = 2 mils on target. for extreme long range precision, sfp is more dominant for that reason but...

    tikka vs savage vs howa

    looking to get a 300 win mag for distances from 700-1600 but with the occasional elr type of thing with the fancy bullets 2000+. already having a custom gun my goal for this is to see for how cheaply i can accomplish the goals stated. i have a few savages and am a fan of their value. i like...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25 mr4 vs......... gen 2 razor.

    i'm talking about elr. in those cases the ffp reticle at high mag can get gigantic against a small, distant target. also, if you use sfp, you can zoom out a bit and substantially increase the amount of reticle for holding because it multiplies.

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 5-25 mr4 vs......... gen 2 razor.

    I need help. I am deciding on my next scope. I've narrowed it to either the minox or the razor. I've looked through the razor and like it. love the scope. never seen a minox and have only ever heard absolute great things about it. which would you get/recommend and why? i know there are other...

    stupid question.. cartridge selection

    I appreciate the replies guys. from what i've seen, it seems as though 300 wm or 7mm mag are the best options for what i'm specifically going for. they allow me to use the rifle "cheaply" with "normal" loads and switch to the newer bullets to try to really stretch and test it out. so the "value"...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Cronus 4.5x29x56mm vs SWFA HD 5x20x50mm

    all i was doing was stating an opinion in an opinionated discussion. i didn't get "assed up". glass quality isnt the only thing. look at all the scopes that go back for bad tracking and other issues. gen1's had the bombproof reputation within a year of coming out because people abused them to...

    ah yes. i would expect to get a new bolt head if i were to rebarrel. thank you.

    I need help.... Cartridge Selection.

    if you would've read the responses you could see that i got some of the answers i was looking for. And so you know, you are wrong my friend. money does not directly affect target size. skill, knowledge, and luck do. cost effective is a relative term and should have been taken into context with...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Cronus 4.5x29x56mm vs SWFA HD 5x20x50mm

    I wish people would stop making assumptions about what quality "glass" should be. Glass glass glass, what about adjustment accuracy, parallax, reticle, eye box, durability? I understand the OP wasn't concerned with those things. Everyone else has turned this into a pissing contest of "my glass...
