    Trg 42- 300wm

    In case OP is still not sure, I think this thread could use some statistical data. I ran a quick comparison in JBM between the 210 VLD and 300SMK using Litz' BCs and projectile dimensions at standard pressure and zero altitude. Berger is launching at 3000fps and the Sierra at 2800fps, common...

    Trg 42- 300wm

    Then you need to do some learning before you continue posting on here. The 338 beats the 300 in exactly ZERO of the criteria put forth in the original post so what's your affinity with the 338 that you would blatantly recommend the wrong caliber to someone looking for an honest answer? If it's...

    Trg 42- 300wm

    It would be ignorant to argue that the 338 is purely a glamour choice. I figured it went without saying but I suppose you gotta spell it all out on here. Just to be clear, it has it's place but a select few will ever push a 338 to it's limits. Sure, your Lambo may go 210 but 95% of the time...

    Trg 42- 300wm

    Negative. I was making the point that the winmag and 338 are, for most practical purposes, neck and neck all the way to 1000 and a select few here really NEED the extra oomph to go further, esp when the winmag will still comfortably reach a mile. My comment was directed towards the folks who...

    Locating a Badger M2008 action in .308

    Excellent news. That aluminum rail was almost a dealbreaker for me. Good on Badger for being flexible.

    Locating a Badger M2008 action in .308

    Can someone confirm if their round knob will still be available going forward? That mini tac knob looks like bigger brother after a cold shower.

    Trg 42- 300wm

    Edit: I re-read again upon your recommendation, Yasherka, and your recommendations continue to suck. I like the quote but in this case, the 300 is the logical choice. It fits all of his criteria and the performance between the two for 99% of us is negligible. However, if you have an...

    FCP-K OWNERS step inside (Savage 10)

    I wish I could replace that damn bolt release!

    Gunsmithing Badger M2008 and M2013

    That was really the crux of my argument. If you wanna shed weight, there are better places to do it, IMO.

    Gunsmithing Badger M2008 and M2013

    Yeah yeah, well ya gotta admit when you jumped the gun. I'd still prefer steel for peace of mind but 7075 is a tougher aluminum than I'm used to working with.

    Gunsmithing Badger M2008 and M2013

    Your wisdom in metallurgy is enlightening. I'll backpedal and reserve judgment.

    Light weight long range?

    Short barrel with full contour and aggressive fluting will get you there. The only big difference in stocks is gonna be chassis vs traditional. Chassis will always be heavier due to materials and you can only take so much weight out of a traditional. Find the best compromise between ergonomics...

    Gunsmithing Badger M2008 and M2013

    Is no one else concerned about the aluminum base? Pinned or not, I've had nothing but nightmares with aluminum bases and it's not the right place to save weight on an expensive "field ready" action, IMO. One good drop or bump on either side of the scope and steel rings will literally bend the...

    Good pants without drawing attention or looking like a tacti-tard.

    I'll vouch for Duluth, but I'd advise strongly against 5.11. I have 2pr Taclite Pros, snagged the back pocket on a branch during a hunt and tore a 2" hole without even trying. I've mistakenly put small items in that pocket and never saw em again. RIP Leek and Mini Griptillian :( I also have a...

    Caldwell deadshot fieldpod

    My local range is poorly kept and benches aren't deep enough to support both front and rear. They had a nice little barn to shoot prone but the floor has rotted out and it has a hell of a gangsta lean. Needless to say, just finding a serviceable shooting position for zeroing or workups is nearly...

    Rifle Scopes NF ATACR vs Razor

    Vortex made big changes to the eyebox on the Razors a year or two ago. Not sure if it's related, though. I've shot the Razor and briefly owned an NXS but haven't compared em side by side and I don't know if the Razor had the updated eyebox. Either way, both are solid choices.

    Range Report Received my new Magneto Speed V2 yesterday

    I've had days when it's drawn too much attention and I constantly get interrupted in the middle of a string. Some guys will wait until the range goes cold, but others will tap you on the shoulder while you're pressing the trigger and I've lost it on a couple of em. Then they wanna use it. I'm...

    308 Alpha Type 2 Mag Question

    And use the proper dremel attachment. Nearly every botched dremel job I've seen(and I've seen quite a few) is directly attributed to improper cutters or tools for the job.

    308 Alpha Type 2 Mag Question

    This. If your feedramps aren't up to snuff, you'll bury every round into em and never make it to the chamber. Think limousine trying to climb a 60% grade vs a short wheelbase Jeep.
