    Rifle Scopes HELP: Who has a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40?

    They aren't designed to be adjusted in the field, just zeroed then kept that way... For what it's worth, I started out with a conquest 3-12x56 as my firs long range scope. It was a pain but I just counted clicks and as long as I kept up with them it worked fine. I shot a .308 out to 700 yards...

    Scout Supply Co worked over lefty 700P LTR.

    First group of hand loads out of the rifle! 178 AMAXs over H4895 in new Lapua brass with CCI BR-2. Sadly, this was a random load I made up just to use the last five pieces of new brass I had....I know what combo to play with now though! Strangely, this gun does not seem to like 168 FGMM. I shot...

    Scout Supply Co worked over lefty 700P LTR.

    I found it on snipercountrypx.com in March. I didn't know they existed either so when I saw it I grabbed it! Russell really does a great job, I highly recommend him!

    Scout Supply Co worked over lefty 700P LTR.

    Just got my 700P LTR back from Russell at Scout Supply Co. This is the 4th rifle Russell has tuned up for me and I can't wait until I get back home from work and have a chance to shoot it! It is a lefty 700P LTR in .308. Russell tuned up the action, threaded and rechambered the barrel with a...

    Midrange priced rifles....?

    Check out Russell at scout supply company. He has a few "packages" utilizing Remington SPSs and 700Ps. For less than 2k he will put a nice gun together for you! Scout Supply Company - Scout Supply Company

    Lets assume H4350 is not an option......

    I've used RL-17 exclusively in both my .260s. It does seem to be a bit sensitive when it is very hot and humid here in SC. It still groups well but I get pressure signs if I try to shoot longer strings. It has gotten worse since using a suppressor (prob since heat cannot dissipate as quickly)...

    I put a big adjustable wrench on it and a few not too hard knocks on the end broke it loose. Thanks everyone for the help!

    Removing a flashhider help

    I have a RRA CAR-4 with a flashhider installed from the factory on a 16" barrel. Is it as easy as simple as unscrewing it to take it off? I don't see that it is pinned or otherwise secured anywhere but it doesn't seem to want to budge... Any recommendations? I need to get this darn thing off...

    Rifle Scopes Preferred magnification for tac style 6.5x47's, .260' etc.

    I have a 3-15x Premier on my .260 and have shot all the way out to a mile with it. I agree that if shooting tiny groups is your main focus more magnification is probably better, but for practical field style shooting more than 20x is probably a waste. I had a Bushnell 3.5-21 DMR for a while and...

    Barrel contour for HS Precision stocks

    You don't need to change stocks, just send the stock in with action when you rebarred and the barrel channel can be opened up.

    Manners T5A vs T5

    I had a sn-3 in badger low rings on a Remington with an HS precision stock and the factory comb worked fine. I did have to cut the front couple of sections off of the badger rail to clear the objective lens (ERGO) and flatten the last section of rail on the back of the rail to clear the eye piece.

    Rifle Scopes My Leupold Mk6 3.5 - 18 TMR review

    I shot with a fella over the weekend in Douglas Wy who had one of these scopes. I thought it was a nice compact little scope with some great features. He made good use of it and didn't have any trouble banging steel out to 1k with his .308. He kept laughing at me because every time he sat the...

    Pressure signs, hot barrel.

    Gotcha, I'm getting 2825 out of the current load with a 24" barrel. I'm trying to get a load together for a trip out west to participate in a ThunderBeast training class. I'm expecting to be taking shots out to 1000 yards and beyond so the extra MV is nice to have. In the last class i went to we...

    Pressure signs, hot barrel.

    Thanks for the recommendations Dan! I actually have plenty of Varget on hand, it's what I use primarily for .308. What kind of velocity can I expect out of 38 grains and a 140ish grain bullet?

    Pressure signs, hot barrel.

    I am trying to work up a new load for my .260 bolt gun. From a previous rifle I was using 139 scenars, 41.7 grains of RL-17, CCI BR2 primers, all in Lapua brass. I have fired quite a few of the leftover old loads thru the new gun but every now and then I get a sticky bolt lift or ejector mark on...

    5R stock Any Good or Not worth a daXX

    They work just fine. If it fits you and it's comfortable just keep it. The only thing you may need will be a cheek pad if your scope is too high for the comb.

    Anyone seen factory "upgraded" lefty rifles like a 5R, 700P anywhere?

    I happened across a lefty 700P LTR in .308 not long ago which I of course purchased:) Just curious if these are becoming more common now as remmy realizes they can sell the "upgraded" factory guns fairly easily. I sure would like to get another 700P in .223 or even a 5R Mil-spec with the...
