    Most suitable scope for moving targets

    300 Win Mag,200-400m range, field hunting and stand hunting> Get a SFP Leupold VX3HD or better with Duplex or Windplex reticle. 2.5-8 or 3.5-10 ( I favour the former). Spend your money on ammo/practice shooting from field positions rather than on a scope with a complex reticle and high...

    Anticipating future supply issues is my question. You are probably right, best to just hold on to what I have.

    Trade primers for Varget??? I have lots of large pistol primers and large rifle primers. Trade for Varget available 1:1 lb to 1,000. I don't need more Varget now but haven't loaded 44Mag or 45acp for years. Got the pistol primers when I shot IPSC. Now I load for 44mag carbine and I can't...

    Tokarev SVT 40

    Good start for your reading:https://www.m9130.info/svt-40-sniper-rifles. Note. Mass production of sniper SVT-40 started only in March of 1941. (Pictured rifle is marked 1940). Rifles of that vintage will have rails for scope mount but not factory notch, so your rifle very likely is a field made...

    Tokarev SVT 40

    If you want to hit something get a Mosin PU. If you want some fun, get a SVT.Accuracy varies with SVT's.. Basic design is not great for accuracy. My rifle holds zero but shoots 2-3" groups at best with first round fliers common.The rifle writhes in your hands when you shoot it. Really LOUD...

    Tokarev SVT 40

    Thanks.I would not shoot that rifle until I did bit more research on it. Original SVT sniper mounts are rare (like REALLY rare) and as a consequence very valuable. The ones I have seen pictures of have serial numbers on them (at the back end of the mount). I suggestion check for that. You don't...

    Swiss K31: Stunning

    Berger 175VLD target bullet is bullet I think closely matched GP11 bullet. It has been discontinued. I have a few boxes but could not rationalize searching for more old stock given lack of long term availability.Under 300yds no particular advantage for these expensive bullets so I'm saving them...

    Tangent theta or ZCO

    Just wondering where I can verify the guaranteed corporate longevity of ZCO? I have no animosity regarding the brand. I am retired, have 1 TT and 2 Kahles scopes and am unlikely to buy another big $ scope, though I might sell one of my Kahles K624I scopes to replace with another wonder scope at...

    Tangent theta or ZCO

    Does the age of the two companies have any weight in this debate? I realize they are both relative newbies compared to S&B, Kahles, etc.
