    I am looking for a scope to put on my new Savage 10P-SR. The 2 scopes I have been looking at are the Vortex HS-T and the SWFA SS 3-15x42. I am just wondering if there are some other options I might have overlooked. I am looking for the following in a scope: *4-16ish magnification range *30mm...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex HS-T 4-16x44 Thoughts and other alternatives.

    I am currently in the process of shopping for glass for a new rifle. I have been leaning toward the Vortex HS-T, it has the variable magnification range and mil/mil setup I'm looking for. I had a Viper PST 6-24 on my last rifle and was happy with it. Does anyone know how the PST and the HS-T...

    Lake City 7.62 brass quality

    How does the LC brass measure up as far as quality? I know it's not Lapua but how does it compare with Winchester for example? With a little work can this be used for precision shooting? I'm not looking for F Class accuracy.

    .308 Bullet and powder selection for 18" barrel

    I haven't reloaded .308 in a while and am needing to pick up some supplies. I know each gun is different and I'll have to find what works for my gun, I'm just trying to establish a starting point. I had a few questions about the 168gr vs 175/178gr and also about Varget vs IMR 4064. I have...

    260 or 7mm-08

    I am looking to rebarrel my .308 and for the first time I am looking for something other than the .308. I have pretty much narrowed my choices down to either a .260 or 7mm-08. I have looked at info. for these two until I am now more unsure than ever which one I want. I would like to hear some...

    I am looking at the .284 win and am wondering about barrel life. I know this is something that has lots of variables but what I am interested in is the expected barrel life of a gun NOT used in competition?

    Short barrel 7mm-08?

    I am looking to rebarrel my .308 to a 7mm-08. I was originally think about using a 24" barrel but after seeing the thread on the short barreled .260 it has me thinking about the possibility of going with a 20" barrel. What kind of velocity loss would I be looking at? With the shorter barrel...

    7mm-08 Short or Long Action build

    I am currently toying with the idea of building a new rifle in 7mm-08. The actions I have to choose from are a short action Rem 700 or a long action Savage 110. My question is, if I am running an internal magazine in the 700 will I have enough room to seat heavy bullets out longer or would I be...

    Rifle Scopes Japan and glass availability?

    I know a lot of manufacturers get the glass for their scopes from Japan. How has the events overseas affected the ability to get glass?

    Rifle Scopes mrad scope and 20moa base

    I am looking to mechanically zero my scope and want to take the 20moa base into account. I am new to the mrad system and learning as I go. I am trying to figure out how many .1 mrads clicks it will take to cancel out the 20moa base. Is the following anywhere near correct: 1moa @ 100yrds = 1"...

    I have a Stevens 200 that I would like to remove the barrel from. I was wondering I there is anybody local (I live in Rowlett) that has the stuff and would be willing to help me remove the factory barrel?
