    Mauser m18 6.5 Creedmoor handload accuracy?

    Has anyone gotten one of these rifles to group really well and consistent using handloads? From what I've read, the best groups have been gotten only with match grade ammo and are very pickey. The reviews I've found state they don't produce the accuracy they have claimed. Thanks for any info! :)

    Rifle Scopes need help with Nikon Monarch III 4x16x42 adj.

    This is a new gun just (old stock) manufactured in 2007. I had a t3 lite 25-06 at one time in synthetic and it was a bear to get the barreled action out of the stock and back in. It seemed to be because of the recoil lug to stock fit. With this new t3 Deluxe model 270 win. in wood stock the...
