    Re: 70gr Berger VLD instead of 75/77gr HPBT? Thanks for doing the legwork James. I'm interested in this bullet for my girlfriend's OBR. Anyone have any data for TAC or varget? Both seem appropriate and I already have them on hand.

    Rifle Scopes How tough is your Super Sniper 10x42?

    Re: How tough is your Super Sniper 10x42? My 16x has 50 rounds of 50 BMG and about 2000 rounds of .22. I consider the latter more impressive, since that rifle goes to the range every time I do and it actually gets knocked around quite a bit and gets lots of elevation dialed on it.
