    The single all-around rifle?

    Re: The single all-around rifle? MontanaMarine, Great looking rifle and for sure it will shoot! "Sniper-fill" is a weighted stock. Why the brake on an already weight-dampened .30-06? Do you wear hearing protection in the field or remove the brake when hunting? How did you come to decide on...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Thoughts?

    Re: IOR Thoughts? Funny thing, there are two other repliers on this thread who had "issues" with IOR products. Another person (Maverick) back on page 1, detailed that: "The issues with the SH 3-18X42 version were primarily with Gen 1 and Gen2. Rarely any issues with Gen 3 in this model. But...

    The single all-around rifle?

    Re: The single all-around rifle? Weight has a lot to do with the concept of an "all-around" rifle; at least in my world. Still-hunting, woods walking, hiking and almost any other activity aside from stand-setting or sniping from a prepared hide will mean you are carrying gear or at least...

    The single all-around rifle?

    Re: The single all-around rifle? Each to their own, but since all I load for the .223rem is 75/77gr magazine length loads, and I have seen how tough the bullets are, I would stake my life on using my AR-15 as an all-around rifle. Also have several hundred 90gr bullets to load up and carry...

    Rifle Scopes Lighting a reticle.

    Re: Lighting a reticle. At one time, Leupold was talking about being able to retrofit some scopes with illumination. Maybe they are doing it now? Maybe your scope mfr can do it for you? The bushnell firefly scopes are supposed to be able to glow for a time after being exposed to a light...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Thoughts?

    Re: IOR Thoughts? Deadly, Why not confine your discussion to facts about IOR-Valdada? What you believe of what I post is of no consequence to me. I mentioned the girly-pix threads because I did search your posts and aside from the For Sale listings, and girly pix threads there's not a...

    .308 Win w/ 18" 1-10" twist barrel to 1,000 yards

    Re: .308 Win w/ 18" 1-10" twist barrel to 1,000 yards Graham, I said nothing about twist rate influencing pressure. Actually, the .338 diameter match bullets represent the best solution to longrange accuracy because their higher weight gives them higher ballistic coefficiency and much less...

    The single all-around rifle?

    Re: The single all-around rifle? If you want an "all around rifle" under 10lbs you are looking for something like a Rem 700 Sendero or mountain rifle. The Sendero SF or Varmint Special SF will weigh about 9lbs w/o scope. Put a basic 36 or 40mm objective 1" tube scope on there using a Weaver...

    .308 Win w/ 18" 1-10" twist barrel to 1,000 yards

    Re: .308 Win w/ 18" 1-10" twist barrel to 1,000 yards Sober, Not too into chambering dynamics, are you? A barrel can be "throated" for a specific bullet. The Clymer .308Win match reamer throats for the 168gr smk; for example. If you were going to shoot 220/240 matchkings in a .308win the...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Thoughts?

    Re: IOR Thoughts? As far as who is a joke, at least I am not posting on the "hot girlfriend" or "motivational pics" threads regularly, and my "handle" is not "deadly" something... I post on matters of my experience. My experience has not been exactly like others' on this forum, but if I...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Thoughts?

    Re: IOR Thoughts? Why do my comments arrouse anger among other owners of IOR products here? Have I said or implied that anyone was foolish to buy the product? Guess I was a big fool, since I bought and owned at one time four of these "remarkable instruments. It is the service, or lack of...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Thoughts?

    Re: IOR Thoughts? My experience with the 2-12x was this; (and I hope ol' Nordic don't have the same problems): #1) At 2x to about 5x & from about 9.5x to 12x; the outer area of the sight picture, about 70% of the image, was so distorted that the scope was not usable. Scotty, the IOR...

    Most Suitable Calibre

    Re: Most Suitable Calibre What is "wrong" with a .270 win for an all-around rifle for Australia? Not my choice, but even in America, as long as you aren't going for Brown Bear, the .270win will work and has worked since Winchester intro'd the ctg in the Model 54. What you really want, is to...

    Fieldcraft Getting pissed with outcome of shot placement

    Re: Getting pissed with outcome of shot placement Bullet try 69 or 75/77 grain match 16" chrome-lined barrel is NOT gonna be a grouping machine. A 20" 1:7 or 1:8 twist with a free-float tube, something like a Service Rifle configuration should deliver .5moa or thereabouts from a rest with...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on Zeiss Victory Diavari 6x24x56 ?

    Re: Thoughts on Zeiss Victory Diavari 6x24x56 ? Hi Mike, What chambering is your Sako? The .300win is probably the most versatile, but maybe you went .338lapua? Zeiss optics are excellent, arguably The Best. Yet pay attention to total range of elevation and windage movement. Seems like...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Thoughts?

    Re: IOR Thoughts? Obviously the guy above here, 99 something, doesn't own an IOR scope or he would know how tiny the two metric screws are and would know IOR tells you not to remove the screw from the turret dial when trying to zero the dial. With a shank broken off in the thread of the...

    3 store bought or.. a custom??

    Re: 3 store bought or.. a custom?? Northman resides in Norway. Probably cheaper to buy Schmidt & Bender or Hensoldt/Zeiss than NightForce. Remington is very expensive over there. On the bright side of things, shooters can own supressors without any problem. Sako TRG 22 with a suppressor...

    RRA 2 Stage Nat. match trigger vs. Rem 700 40X

    Re: RRA 2 Stage Nat. match trigger vs. Rem 700 40X Bill Springfield is pretty well regarded for working over stock AR triggers. Reasonable rates too! Try his link below: http://www.triggerwork.net/contactinfo.html I like a 2 stage trigger on any semi-auto rifle. A 2# second stage pull...
