    Dad needs a new multi purpose rifle.

    Hi all! At the moment, my dad owns a browning lightning blr in 30-06. He has always liked lever actions since he is a leftie. While trying to sight it in this past week, we both grew weary of shooting it due to the recoil. The thing purt near took my arm off. I mentioned trading it for something...

    Is my velocity that far off?

    Ok so I take my nifty new 260 with a 24 inch cbi barrel, zero it at 100 yds, (avg group size .3") enter my load data into strelok, calculate clicks up at 1000yds, pull the trigger several times, and completely miss the 16" square target. I bring a target in to 300 yes and do the velocity...

    New to 260

    I just bought my first 260 and I would like to reload for it. I have reloaded for my 7mm-08 but this will be my first precision rifle, so I have two main questions. 1) What should I be looking to get for dies since this will be a strictly precision rig? Brand, type, etc. (I have mostly rcbs...

    Rifle Scopes FFP or SFP question.

If I am looking for a scope mainly for 800-1000yd ranges, which should I be looking for? I don't want the whole target covered...

    Windows phone app?

    I don't know if this is the right spot for this, but what apps do you recommend for windows phone for ballistic calculators? Are there other types of apps I need to be looking at? What are your favorites? I have looked at several but can't bring myself to drop 10-12$ to find out if some of these...

    Best base rifle

    Hey guys! Just curious, which setup you would choose as a base, out of the box, rifle to get started. This would be a rifle that could be fairly effective at 1000 yds out of the box but would have the most options for upgrade at reasonable prices. As a kicker, I am fairly certain I would like to...

    Gunsmithing Bolt face for 6.5 CM

    If I buy a rifle in 308 or a caliber that has a 308 as the parent cartridge, can I put on an after market barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor without changing the bolt? I thought it might be nice to buy a base gun to shoot the hell out of and get used to, as this will be my first custom build, and...
