Well, thats why I am posting up here, the discussions of scopes typically run to accurate tracking and MOA vs MIL, and all of the other topics (did you see the new XXX?) and if weight is ever even mentioned its as an aside. Are the Leupold scopes actually light? I had one of their Mk8 1-8's...

I am looking for the lightest scope I can find, that meets a couple of criteria. It's pretty ridiculous when my scope feels like it weighs more than the whole rest of the gun, LOL. My basic idea is to make the lightest possible rifle that I can. So, this will be going on a carbon fiber barrel...

Ok, I get it. It just seemed that with a 40 grain variation in the weight of the brass kind of had to indicate a rather significant variation in internal volume and thus pressure. Since I have such wildly mixed headstamps [73 of this, 54 of that, 122 of something else] I thought that sorting...

Ok, some background and usage information: So far, for all of my semi automatic guns I have standardized on a 155 grain bullet and a couple of different powders. I really like bl-c2 but benchmark is growing on me. My bullet this time around is going to be Sierra 1255C (old) 155HPBT (not the...

Ive been loading fmj blasting rounds for 308 for a while, but I need to make a batch of more accurate rounds now. Since all of my brass is range or Gunshow pickup, finding enough of the same head stamp to even make a box of 50 is a challenge. So, making the wild assumption that I could...

Re: Finally joined the cool crowd That is my plan, but I need to come up with more to order that one single crush washer...LOL

Re: Finally joined the cool crowd Some pix before my camera battery died: Left side the brake, right side a .223 JP brake from an AR. Note the difference in the thredded part: nice threads Crown looks good - ignore the dirt, it needs cleaned threading on the mismatch.

Re: Finally joined the cool crowd Wow, the love here, it is making me all sickey.. The peoples repuublik of illinois doesent allow it's subjects to partake of anything requiring a tax stamp... unless of course you are a millionare or publik official...and I am neither. So I guess no...

Been lurking on here for a while and have never posted much even after I signed up because I was always here to learn rather than to spout off about things... But now I can spout off, because I just joined the cool guys club, I just stuck my whole head in the kool-aid jug just to get the full...

A good friend of mine just had a Winchester 300 win mag rifle given to him by his dad. When he went to look at ammo, the sticker shock bout killed him and his first call to me was "teach me to reload". So, we have him set up with a single stage press, dies and goodies are on the way, as is a...

Re: Considering a FN PBR Ok, so the consensus is that the FN is a decent rifle to shoot. but it's not perfect, and I am better off with the CDI metal rather than the stock mags. <RANT> Why the HECK isn't there a Sub-$1000 rifle that doesent have a fatal flaw or needs a bunch of massaging...

A local shop has a .308 FN PBR, 18" with the brake on the wall and I am trying to talk myself into or out of it. Currently I shoot 3 gun and high-power, but I would like to find some type of match to shoot scoped rifle. My home range only goes to 200Y, but I am hoping if I can find a rifle...

I hope my google-fu is weak but I haven't found what I am looking for. I have a .308 rifle that is built off of a Sako action and I would like to add a detachable magazine to it. I haven't found any Sako kits, so plan B is to figure out what existing magazine conversion kits are closest to...
