    Rifle Scopes NF & S&B clarity interesting experience

    A friend recently just had to have the NF scope off of my rifle, so I ordered a new replacement, a 5.5x22x56 with NP-R1. Last week, I was at the range with two friends, one of whom had a S&B 5x25, and the other had a Swarovski 3.5x18x44. All of us were a bit surprised, but all agreed, the NF...

    Old load now shows pressure

    Re: Old load now shows pressure Jon, I had the exact same thing happen with RL22 in my first 7wsm. As Gunfighter is suggesting, it turned out to be powder residue buildup. The fix that worked best and easiest for me, although not the quickest, was to push several patches of Hoppe's...

    Hunting & Fishing 139 6.5 vs 155 .308 Scenar

    Re: 139 6.5 vs 155 .308 Scenar For a hunting rifle, it's worth considering one that has ammo on the shelf in smaller country stores in case the ammo is left at home, is lost in travel, dropped in the water, or similar. 308, 30-06, 270, 7RM and 300WM, are commonly available. 260 is not.

    Re: LES BAER? To the OP, yes, they are worth the money. The Thunder Ranch is very high quality, especially for the price point. I previously had two Wilsons, a Tac Elite and a Stealth, that were more expensive. I also owned some Colts in times past. After trying a Baer, I traded the...
