    Square Shoulders and Length of Pull

    I have started squaring my shoulders when shooting my 6.5 Saum to better absorb the recoil and stay on target. My traditional stance with my shoulders closer to parallel to the rifle pulls me off target (especially at higher magnifications for long range shots), which is a little more...

    Rifle Scopes Do the new ZCO 4-20 or Kahles 3-18 challenge the S&B 3-20 Ultrashort?

    Upon reading all the excited posts about the new ZCO 4-20 and Kahles 3-18, I am struggling to understand how either improve upon the specs of the S&B 3-20 ultrashort. The S&B has better mag range, field of view, and top notch glass and mechanics. The only possible "improvements," at least to...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle Design - Scopes with dual SFP and FFP reticles?

    Have any manufacturers played around with the idea of scopes with both FFP and SFP reticles? I love the idea of having a SFP reticle for the cross bars and center dot and an FFP reticle with hash marks, preferably .2m hash marks and some "open" version of the christmas tree. Attached is an...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25x56 & 3.6-18x44 Tracking Test?

    Has anyone yet had a chance to run one of these fellas through a comprehensive tracking test? IF they track and don't have any other weird problems, the low weight and reasonable price (compared to $3k and above S&B, Kahles, March, etc) might force one of these into the running for my new rig...

    Rifle Scopes What is the benefit of an "ultra short" scope

    I have to decide on a scope for my new GAP 6.5 SAUM. I have noticed that a good number of "ultra short" scopes being released on the market are as heavy, or heavier, than similar full-length scopes. And based on my (very limited) understanding of how scopes work, it seems ultra short models...

    6.5 GAP 4S - Hornady v. Redding Dies with regards to neck sizing

    GA Precision is building me a 6.5 RSAUM rifle and I am trying to decide if I need both bushing and nonbushing dies to properly neck turn cases. 6.5 GAP 4S (SAUM) Comp Die set with bushings (either .289 or .291 bushings) OR Hornady 6.5 GAP 4S Custom Die Set w/ Micrometer Stem (non bushing) I...

    Rifle Scopes March 2.5-25x52 "Eyebox" Issues - resolved with larger objective?

    I have to pick a rifle scope for my new build, and likely won't be able to look through whatever I select in person before I go ahead with it. Man, it is tough to wander through the internet without getting pumped by good reviews and scared by the bad ones. Very tough to make a comfortable...

    Proof Research - Bull vs. Sendero Contours

    Thanks to feedback on previous posts, decided I'm going with a Proof Research CF barrel for my GAP build. I'm really interested in the Bull Contour barrel. It's only 10 ounces heavier than the Sendero contour (63oz vs 53oz in 26" .264). And it is still over a full pound lighter than the...

    GAP Build - Tough Choices - Bartlein #GAP 5 Sendero Contour vs Proof Research CF Sendero

    Finalizing the details of my new build and trying to choose between barrels. This will be a hunting rig, but I want a heavier contour barrel so that I can shoot at the range and improve my skill level. Not trying to make benchrest gun or hybrid, just trying to make a hunting rig that I can...

    Hey everybody, Many thanks to all for the guidance in my previous post to help pick out a specific scope. I have narrowed it down to the four below. Does anybody have any experience with these specific scopes and reticles? Specifically, I know some people have complained that certain...

    Hey all, Need some help choosing between different scopes. Having the fine folks at GA Precision build me a rifle and want to pair it with something nice. Rifle will be used primarily hunting, but I am having a pretty heavy Rem Sendero/Varmint contour barrel installed so I can shoot off some...
