    Krieger vs Bartlein

    I've had both and I'd say if you get a good Smith to chamber them you'll never see the difference in how they shoot.

    Range Report Best factory ammo for 26" 12 Twist .308 600-1130 Yards?

    The fggm is super accurate in my 10 twist and everything I've read suggests it'll shoot fine in a 12 twist as well. I would try a box before I bought a lot but if it will shoot it'll be much better than the 175's at 1000+

    Gewehr 98 action

    DWM actions are some of the best. The 1909 Argentine in particular. There are still a lot of smiths that will work on mausers, but you need someone that really understands them. Mauser actions are designed for a particular cartridge and may require work on the action to feed other, even...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Issue: Consistent on .22, erratic on a .30-06, thoughts?

    I would also check the bobro mount. If everything is tight there i would mount the scope in a good set of rings like Seekins, nightforce, or badger and try that. Then you'll know if it's the mount or the scope itself.

    Hoplite Arms

    All else being equal, folding or retractable wouldn't matter to me as long as you could clean from the breech without changing the settings of the cheekpiece and buttplate.

    Barrel break in yes or no

    Shoot 10-20 rounds, clean...If there's a lot of copper fouling i shoot 10-20 and clean again and repeat as needed...then I clean every 200-300 rounds of so. In my experience bartlein, krieger, brux and obermeyer barrels have shown little to no copper fouling from the start

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting with your target rifles??

    No way I'd carry my AI on a hunting trip other than calling for coyotes. I've hunted in New Mexico, Idaho and a few other places where a 9# rifle feels like an anchor by the end of the day. I've never missed an opportunity because my rifle was too light. i also believe that target bullets are...

    Hunting & Fishing Nosler ABLR performance on game

    I've shot several TX white tails with the 142 6.5 bullets at about 2875 from a 6.5x55. Ranges were from about 75 to right around 300 yards. Not much of a test i know but all gave complete penetration with a relatively small exit wound even if it hit the shoulder bones. As a bonus these things...

    Just over your budget but if cameraland still has the bushnell dmr2 on sale for $899 I would consider that.

    Looking for a muzzle brake; is the APA Gen 2 Fat Bastard Self Timing a good one?

    I have a gen2 fb on a 24" 308 and it works well at reducing recoil.
