Re: TRG 42 Barrell Twist Handled one the other day in Rapid City, SD. TRG 42, .338Lapua. Had 10" clearly stamped on the barrel. 1:10 twist clearly listed on the shipping box.

Re: Who makes the best 338 Lapua? Thanks for the input, very informative.

Re: Who makes the best 338 Lapua? Too bad the Bore Techs didn't work out for you. That could have been a neat projectile to play with.

Re: Who makes the best 338 Lapua? Thanks for the clarification JL. Out of curiosity do 250gr bullets display more accuracy out of the 1:12 twist barrels vs. the 1:10/1:9.4 etc? I ask because I read somewhere that the best accuracy is usually achieved when a bullet is spun or stabilized just...

Re: Who makes the best 338 Lapua? Have you tried the Bore Tech 245gr? They are hideously expensive but given a claimed BC of .869 if they could be pushed at or slightly above 3000fps that could be one wind cheating velocity retaining SOB. I wonder if Berger is working on anything for the...

Re: Who makes the best 338 Lapua? I was unable to find any info on the above listed competition, but I would guess than no US teams have made it into the top. Not even sure if any US teams have competed, and if they have what equipment they have used. Not to be an ass but most US military...

Re: Who makes the best 338 Lapua? I realize I was talking about nearly doubling the projectile weight in my example, but the question was asked if 50grs makes a difference. It happens to nearly double the energy on target at that distance is what it does in the case of the .338. Anyhow, what...

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer NP-R1 with MOA adjustments is what I have, and I like it really well. Wish I had a zero stop though.

Re: Who makes the best 338 Lapua? Just think of it as added versatility. Also the 300gr bullet is a bit less susceptible to wind, which in my experience is more important than shooting flat. If I have a good ballistics chart, and some range time to verify it I am not all that concerned with a...

Re: it is time that they get back to work Yes the TRG is available in 1:10" twist, and it is marked as 10" on the barrel of the one I handled yesterday in Rapid City.

Re: Steyr SSG scope rings Your local gun shop is wrong. At least if we are talking about an SSG 69. I have an SSG 69 PII and I have a set of factory Steyr 30mm rings on the rifle right now with a Nightforce 3.5-15X50mm mounted. I really like the combination too by the way. I have no opinion...

Re: Next Nightforce question 50 or 56MM I have a 3.5-15X50 NXS on my Steyr SSG 69 PII, and it performs quite well in fading light. I have no doubt that the 56mm would transmit more light and have a more forgiving exit pupil, but the 50mm is no slouch and it is smaller. Any larger and the...
