    Rifle Scopes Redfield Revolution

    Re: Redfield Revolution I bought the 2-7x32 for my 17HMR. It is very clear and appears well built. The power ring turns smoothly without grit or slack. I can tell how true the adjustments are since I was only adjusting at 50yds and the wind was blowing all over the place.

    WXR Powder????

    Re: WXR Powder???? I have a jug of this. I am considering using it in my 6mm. What is the max loading you are using in the 243? I have a .243 and some 87gr vmax, too. I used it in my dads 7mmRm, using 162 Amax with 62-63grs. Slightly faster than RL22. I have the load info from Hogdgon. I...

    IMR 8208 test results

    Re: IMR 8208 test results No drop tube, just dump it through the funnel. Its not compressed, but I can only hear a few kernels shaking around. No scientific testing on that part.

    IMR 8208 test results

    I finally got a chance to test some of this new powder this weekend. I loaded up a few and tried them in my .308 with a 20" barrel I got around 2800 fps on a 40*F day. This powder is very consistent, I didn't chrono all the loads but the ones I did check were 2808, 2802, 2807, 2802, 2805. Here...

    Surefire G2 is always dead

    Re: Surefire G2 is always dead your email probably got sent to the spam or trash list. Mine did. I figured they didn't reply, but in fact they did. I called anyway and have always gotten everything taken care of. Compared to surefire, everything else is just a toy. They will take care of you.

    Surefire G2 is always dead

    Re: Surefire G2 is always dead it could be the switch is making just enough contact to run down the batts without lighting the bulb, especially if its an older G2 without the LOTC, try taking the switch off and letting it sit for a while. Also what brand are the batteries?

    Rifle Scopes Leuppy Mk4 rings

    Re: Leuppy Mk4 rings I figured they are fake, but they are a good copy. Since they have no marks to identify, how can I prove anything? I guess just send them to Leuppy and see what they say.

    Rifle Scopes Leuppy Mk4 rings

    Re: Leuppy Mk4 rings I tried 5 or 6 times with both rings. Never could get it to tighten. Even tried it on a Warne base that was off the gun, still no good. Are these covered by Leupold?

    help me pick a new caliber

    Re: help me pick a new caliber I like these 3 choices. What is a 6XC? I have plenty of 6mm,7mm, and .30 bullets, so I would like to stay in there somewhere. What kind of options do I have if I change the bolt and stay in the 3 caliber diameters above?

    Re: help me pick a new caliber I do reload, the longest shot I have is 500 yds, and it will be a hunting rifle. Whitetail deer, hogs. I was also thinking about staying .30 cal or larger, I can change that if necessary.

I cant decide what caliber I want to change the rifle to, I think I want to stay with something with the same boltface as the .308. I was thinking I want to keep...

    Rifle Scopes quality optics for a hunting rifle

    I am considering a nice scope for a 7mmRM. It now has a Leuppy VX-II 4-12x40. I was looking to spend $600-$800. Tactical turrets would be nice for the real long shots,but I think the optical quality would be more useful.
