    Leica 2400 R

    Well, guys, I have been following the 2400 thread from the beginning. Wasn't really hearing a lot about the 2400. SO, I took the plunge anyway & purchased one from Ben @ Sport Optics during their Black Friday Sale. Well, so far, I couldn't be happier that I did.... I'm easily getting 1500+ with...

    Best budget rangerfinder used out to 1000 yards?

    I have to agree with most guys already posting here. I just received my new Leica 2400R last week. It does 1000 yards very easily!!!! Over 2000 without much trouble at all. I was pretty impressed the first time I stepped outside & started playing with it!!!!! And, for hunting purposes, its...

    308 Seating issue

    Jpatane17, I have experienced "rings" around the bullet tips of Hornady bullets before, too.. Have you noticed if your new Lapua brass cases are out-of-round, or dented?? Also do you run a mandrel through the necks, or size the cases before seating bullets?? I know some folks have had seating...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II anyone?

    I'll jump in here too.... I'm a new guy to the Hide, but, I've lurked around here a long time. I have 2 XTRII's. One is the 4-20, the other is 5-25. both with the SCR reticle. I do like the SCR reticle. The turrets are solid, & seem to track very well. And, yes, as others have said, built very...

    Rainier Ultramatch MOD2 Barrel Testing - 6.5cm, 224V, 223 Wylde, 300 BLK

    Recently, I ordered a Mod2 Ultra match, 223 Wylde, 18" barrel from Rainier. I used the SH10 code, & got 10% off. I haven't gotten the barrel put together with a new upper yet. But, I'm getting excited about how it will shoot. Full disclosure, I was thinking about the barrel, but after watching...

    Range Report Which bullet you using - .300 win mag

    408w, I'm sure some guys here will be recommending the Berger 215 Hybrid bullet. I've been reading lots of guys using that bullet in their 300WM's. I've got some, & so-far getting only mediocre results. But, I'll keep trying!!!!! Good Luck! Idaho=5R

    Dendro, Thanks for the report. There were quite a few folks on here talking about ordering one of the 2400R's...... I was really hoping for more real life reports on these!!!!!! Any more reports??????? I'd really like to replace my older LRF, but, I want to hear more positive responses before...

    Rifle Scopes Newbie NP-1RR ranging use question

    MotoFlier, If you can afford it, & don't mind the wait-time, changing to the MOAR, or that type of reticle will be much easier for you to use! I have an earlier model NXS with the NPR1, & an ATACR with MOAR reticle. I find these two fairly easy to use.... Just remember with a second focal plane...

    Rifle Scopes Night force ultra lite 30mm or seekins 30mm rings

    Gentlemen, I , too have one of the Gen 1, 5R 223's,-24" . So far my best loads have been with the Hornady 53 V-Max ( my favorite Ground Squirrel bullet!). But, I too would like to try stretching her legs a bit for fun..... The price on those Lapua 69 Scenars looks great!!!!! I've been...
