    Range Report JBM dope card is screwing with me. Starting to get frustrated! What am I missing!?!

    ScottyD, I see your pain here...the last two times we shot together I collected pressure/temp/humidity- and when I input your general parameters using those environmental numbers- I can only come kind of close (+/- .15mil)to your "confirmed" DOPE if I fudge a LOT of things(scope...

    6.5x47 bolt rifle build

    I have a trued R700 that I am running a 24" M24/40 Krieger in 6.5x47 -no problems with that profile-will likely do the same again. I bushed the firing pin-I like to take care of potential issues on the front side- especially with component availability being what it is. One of the most...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender 5x25 56 pm2 need help

    Life is short. I'd bail on the NF, sure it might be nice- but so would time travel. Steve has excellent advice if the budget allows- keep it on order- demand will support offloading it in a flash if you don't like it/or it is 2015 when it arrives and there is something else that catches your...

    Rifle Scopes Konus Optics??

    I was impressed with the performance per dollar of the M30 I had- used it briefly on a .308PSS and it did well-I would echo the above and say that the glass resolution was on the same level as the Vortex PST (reasonable/$)- I bought it not expecting much ( suspicious of tracking repeatability...

    Gunsmithing 338 edge build question

    You will still be limited by your actions' ability to fit a longer round through the bottom of the action. So....to make yours work you could develop your loads to an appropriate COAL, or make your own magazine /bottom metal and new trigger design to fit with a more rearward and steeper feed...

    Hunting & Fishing 11 Year Old's Quest For Her First Elk

    Fantastic! I am impressed with the care and thoughtfulness you are extending to your daughter in getting ready for a rewarding hunt! I all too often see people spending more time on and equipping their pets/trucks/phones better than their children.

    You have $10,000. What do you build?

    ...I'd build a cheek weld behind my new Grunig+Elmiger RS III CISM in 6.5x47. I'd be a bit over budget....

    Rifle Scopes The wife gets a new job making more than me so I get to upgrade and could use advice

    FWIW, I look at it this way, if you have the means and desire- upgrade. When has anyone truly upgraded anything to realistically better suit their needs and regretted it?-never. That said: A) all riflescopes suck at some/several things. B)I wouldn't be afraid to buy a...

    Hunting & Fishing Yukon Hunting Movie( full movie)

    quite enjoyable to watch, thanks for sharing. I don't want to stir the pot too much (and I understand the physical demands of sheep/etc hunting in that terrain), but that sure highlighted "buck fever" effect on shooting.

    Mile high Shooting Vs. Eurooptics? getting ready to order ACIS stock

    The only logical answer is to buy one from each vendor, then come up with the much easier solution of what to put in the second chassis.

    TRG-42 Picatinny rail question

    Or, remove it and get a direct mount to remove one link in the chain. I have/run TRG's set up both ways, much prefer the direct mount(Spuhr). I had a Loctited base (not factory threadlock) come loose on me during a match-that sucked.

    Steel gong target idea help

    check out JCSteel's T-post hangers- very economical, so are T posts from your local ranch supply house- get a post driver and you are done. You could transport enough targets and hangers in your JGC for a whole match.

    300 WIN MAG? 300 Norma MAG? 338 Norma Mag? 338 Lapua

    picked 300wm because: a) .30/375 Ruger/30 HSM/whatever wasn't listed b) it does very well without a .585"+ bolt face c) it has "win" in the name already

    Rifle Scopes CAST YOUR VOTE: What's the best long-range scope?

    It would be interesting to lasso someone(s?) who has absolute zero experience behind a riflescope and perhaps is a camera glass nerd to give input without the emotional involvement that seems to haunt all optics reviews? (not pointing fingers at all, but brand recognition and product cost...
