Re: Please help me with the value of my GAP Awesome rifle. Wish I had the money.

Re: Nosler Ballistic Tips? Just to let you know, I have had trouble getting BT's and Accubonds to shoot well in my 700 LTR .308. This rifle will shoot 1/2" groups pretty regularly with 168gr. SMK's. I get between 3/4" to 1-1/4" groups with 165gr. BT's and Accubonds. That is a pretty big...

Re: tripod/ head flims, Yes that is the 410 geared head. Very heavy duty, very precise, very slow to pan. The "pistol grip" head you refer to is a quick release on a ball head. Pull the trigger and it is loose and free to pan. Let go and it grips the ball and won't move. I have never...

Re: Nightforce zero stop Thanks for the info; you guys are awesome. Kenton contacted me and stated that their knobs would work with the zero stop. I also emailed NF and asked what it would cost to retrofit the zero stop to a scope that did not have it originally, but I have not received a...

Hi, Tried to do a search for this but no joy. Could someone who owns one tell me exactly how the zero stop turrets work on the Nightforce? Are you unable to turn the turret down anymore if desired, once the zero stop is set? This might be OK for a 100 yrd. zero which I normally use. Also...

Re: Powder Valley primers Thanks Alan, Yes, I read that, but I just wondered if anyone else had been doing it.

Re: best spoting scope under 400$ OK, good luck with it and let us know!

Re: Feral cats and head shots My granddad turned me on to this sport at an early age. He was one cold blooded man when there was a cat in the barn.

Re: Sierra SMK's for Hunting Shooting 168gr. SMK .308 2650fps. I can tell you that they most certainly do not punch through like an ice pick. Most of the time at medium ranges, between 50-250 yards they leave an exit wound like a tennis ball and are very effective. I had one "fail" on a...

Re: Tactical rifle as primary hunting rifle? I use my LTR every time I hunt deer with a rifle. When I get tired of carrying it, I take the revolver.

Re: Tripod That is a neat little tripod. I've always used a large standard tripod that just goes on the ground beside the table. Shooting from table, great. Shooting from prone, maybe not so good.

Re: Spotting scope and rangefinder on same tripod? Looks good Cory. Good job

Re: I got a new safe! Now a humidity question +1 on Damprid from Home Depot

Re: Anyone use Federal Brass? Good to know FootSoldier, I know that the consensus seems to be that Federal brass is soft, and not the best, but I have so much of it now that I'm about to start using it myself.

Re: Powder Valley primers I am having trouble back-ordering primers from PV. They are not listed on the website, so do you just call them to order?

Re: Sierra Game Kings? SMK's work great on deer, believe me.

Re: Spotting scope and rangefinder on same tripod? This is a great idea. How do you get them to co-witness?

Re: tripod/ head I really prefer a video head that is smooth to pan around when looking at game, wildlife etc. The geared head in Andre's photo does work great for micro adjustment. I used to have one, but I sold it because I felt it was too confining for general use (slow to pan). I love...

Re: best spoting scope under 400$ I might get in trouble for this, but if your'e on a tight budget, you might try a small astronomy refractor. They are not waterproof. They are not designed to be rugged. You need your own tripod. But if just want something for the range that is beautiful to...

Re: what are the most popular NF reticles? Anyone here like the NP-R2 over the R1? The NP-R1 seems kind of busy to me, although I have not looked through one in person.
