    Rifle Scopes Need info on Vortex Viper FFP

    Re: Need info on Vortex Viper FFP I'm willing to bet that based on Scott's comment here, the info listed on Midway's website is optimistic at best. Their site says arrival on 3/31/10.

    5R load question

    I talked with someone here a couple days ago about a .308 load. They were suggesting 43 gr Varget behind a 175 SMK. I sat down to try this out, but found the Sierra manual describes 41.7 gr Varget as a max load. Not wanting to cause an issue with the gun or my face, I figured I'd see if...

    Rifle Scopes Wall of Shame

    Re: Wall of Shame I work with a camera store, and last year we had quite a few instances where people would order a $4000 camera with a credit card, and have it overnighted that day. A couple days after we would get a call from Visa saying the person who ordered that was using a stolen card...

    Re: Long Range coyotes Thats a good lookin dog. I tried to find one last night, but I can't call for crap. I'm sure there were plenty within ear shot laughing at me. Busted a nice one last year while deer hunting and the hide looks great on the man room wall. It drove my german shepherds...

    5 calibers everyone should own

    Re: Counter Sniper Scopes I noticed one of these on top of the TC Warlord on the cover of Guns and Ammo several months ago. Funny thing was the pictures of them testing the gun showed a NF on top.

    Gunsmithing Shimming the scope base on a 5R

    Re: Shimming the scope base on a 5R I would probably are with you there. Before that email, I was asking him how he broke the rifle in, since he mentioned breaking in the rifle in his gunbroker add. His response was this: "Many authorities do not believe a match barrel needs a breaking in...

    Gunsmithing Shimming the scope base on a 5R

    I just bought a 5R from a guy on gunbroker. He just send me this email: "My advice is to purchase from brownells a package of brass shims ($12), now. They'll be there when the rifle is. The top of a Remington receiver rear mount varies. You will need to shim the rear for your mount. Else when...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST update! (12-21-10)

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper I'm looking forward to hearing about this. I've been looking for a good mil/mil scope under the $1k mark. I just can't justify the NF.....as much as I want to.

    Rifle Scopes Scope for a 5r.

    Re: Scope for a 5r. It looks like I can get a pretty good deal on the Monarch X scopes. I'd like to have the mil/mil though. I think I'm going to end up scrapping the stock idea for a bit and putting more in the glass. I have little experience with high end optics. What makes the NF so...

    Re: 700 5R, pleasant surprise I've got one of these being shipped to my local FFL. Anyone care to share a preferred hand load for their 5r? Or, is that a liability thing. I totally understand if it is.

    Rifle Scopes Scope for a 5r.

    Re: Scope for a 5r. I forgot to mention one other thing. I work with a camera store that sells Nikon, so I can get their stuff @ cost. That might bring the Monarch X down to a level I could handle....until I change my mind anyway.

    Rifle Scopes Scope for a 5r.

    I've been shooting/reloading for some time, but its always been with hunting or varmint rounds (.223, .22-250, .270). Yesterday I bought my first .308, and heres my planned setup thats progressed in a month. At first I was going to get a 700 SPS Varmint, switch the stock to an HS, and top it...
