    IOR?

    I know IOR Valdada scopes have been hit or miss in the past, how are the current options? How are the Recon and Patriots, at least compared with other optics in a similar price range? Has customer service improved?

    7mm-08 w/ 185s?

    I know these bullets are likely too heavy due to the limited case capacity, but would the Nosler RDF 185's be worth trying in a 26" 7mm-08? Hodgdon's data stops with 175s, so reloading data is very limited...any chance H-100v would get MV to 2500fps out of an AICS magazine?

    Leupold Mark 5HD vs Nightforce NX8 vs US Optics FDN-25?

    How does the Nightforce NX8 4-32x and Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25x compare with the newer FDN series US Optics? I haven't used a Nightforce in probably 10 years, and my last experience with a "tactical" Leupold was a Mark 4. I do have experience with US Optics, as I have an older SN3 3.2-17, an ST10...

    Kauger Arms?

    Anyone familiar with Kauger Arms actions? I'm considering having an 18-20" .308 built, and I found a short action VPR locally. Anyone have any experience with the actions, and how do they compare with others in the $800 range?

    US Optics vs Vortex Razor

    I am looking to pick up a scope for a 26" 7mm-08 being built on a Deviant action. I've narrowed it down to either a US Optics FDN-17 3.2-17x50 or a Vortex Razor 3-18/4.5-27x. I'm a little partial to US Optics, as I have owned a few over the years, and still have an SN3 3.2-17x that I bought...

    Rifle builders in Georgia?

    Any recommendations on rifle builders in Georgia? I recently ordered a Defiance Deviant action and Bartlein 7mm 1/8.7 twist barrel, plan is to build a 7mm-08 in an AICS stock. Years ago, Accurate Ordnance built my first rifle...but they are no longer in business. I've heard good things about...

    Crimson Trace Series 5

    In my search for a decent 1-8x scope for an AR, I found the Crimson Trace scopes on clearance on MidwayUSA. I debated a while between one of the Series 5s and Bushnell DMR's, as they were basically the same price. I ultimately went with the Bushnell, but still kept watching the scopes. Midway...

    Crimson Trace Series 5?

    What's the general consensus on Crimson Trace scopes? MidwayUSA still has a few of the Series 3 & 5 scopes on sale/clearance, and I've been looking hard at the Series 5 3-18x. Looks like a solid scope for $799...FFP, zero stop, illumination, and made in Japan. Any reason to avoid the scopes...

    Rifle Scopes IOR scopes?

    What's the general consensus on IOR optics? I've looked at ordering a couple over the years, but I've always read that warranties can be hit or miss. The one I'm looking at is a 4-14x50, with the side focus and illuminated MP-8 reticle. I've always heard that the glass on these scopes is...

    168's in 7mm-08?

    Anyone loading 168s in a 7mm-08? I know there's likely not quite enough case capacity to really "push" these bullets, especially out of my 22" barrel, but its hard to pass with Nosler offering them for under $20/100 (for 2nds). Any reason not to pick up 500 to try out? Right now I am limited...

    Nexus .260 brass?

    Anyone familiar with Nexus brass? I have a chance to pick up s decent amount in .260 to use in an AR10, but can't find out any information on it. How does it compare with Winchester or Remington?

    Rifle Scopes US Optics EREK knob question

    I have a couple US Optics with EREK knobs, an SN3 3.2-17x and ST10 10x, and have a quick question on setting up the zero stops. I've shot both of these scopes for years without even utilizing the zero stop feature, but have gotten to a point where its now necessary. Of course, both scopes are...

    Heavweight 7mm-08 bullets?

    I have a 7mm-08 built on a 700 action with a 22" Bartlein barrel, and have picked up quite a few Sierra MK's in 130 & 150gr, as well as some AMAX bullets in 162. Through a screw up on my part, I just picked up 7x boxes of Sierra 168gr bullets also for 7mm (thought they were .30 cal bullets)...

    New style Remington 5R?

    What's the general consensus on the new Remington 700P 5R? I have a chance to pick one up, but not sure if its a decent enough deal or not. Its in excellent condition, with a low round count. Remington 700P 5R Price would be around $750, but I am curious if its enough of an improvement to...

    700 SPS Light Tactical?

    I've been looking to build a 20" Remington 700, but haven't had a lot of luck finding a decent donor action under $400. I recently came across a complete rifle, and wanted to get the general consensus of the Hide. Its a Remington 700 SPS Light Tactical, a 20" rifle with a fluted barrel and...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone need a nice Kollmorgen?

    Ran across this ad on another site, and I have never seen one in this condition. Looks to be absolutely mint, but I am not sure it will quite bring close to $5k. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=303293577

    7mm shooters....150 SMKs vs 162 AMAX bullets

    How does the 7mm 150gr SMK bullet compare with the 162gr AMAX, specifically out of a 22" barrel? Is one typically more accurate than the other? I have a few hundred of each to load in my 7mm-08, and I am curious is anyone has had better luck with one over the other. Thanks!
