I have been running a 7mm-08 for a few years. It has served me well and been a reliable shooter. While it is extremely good at everything it was a master of nothing. I have been shooting at TVP ever since I owned the rifle and have always enjoyed the Intimidator above all other match types...

Ok my barreled action is almost done. It's a 26" Kreiger heavy varmet in a rem 700LA. It's chambered in 7mm rem mag. I am looking at the Terry cross sentinel which is a beast of a stock but I have a couple concerns. With a very long rifle my concern is that when in my low drag pack the stock...

Just got her slapped together and wanted to post up some pics. Have a couple rounds out for a function check and will have to shoot it this weekend for groups. I'll post up specs later tonight. Thanks, Merritt

Well I put together a rig lately after selling of an AR upper. I wanted to keep it pretty low budget for the time being. Normally I'm a savage guy however after looking at the rifle stock options on the savage long actions I decided I'd never get exactly what I wanted with the savage. So I...

Well I think My C93 is finally done. Other than a trigger from HKparts.net and ghillie's trigger she is finally complete. RCM 1 in 7 twist barrel (installed by ghillie) Paddle Mag release (installed by ghillie) HK 4 prong micro flash hidder HK parts Tactical Forearm with Magpul AFG HK low...

Ok I've been running a 7-08 for a little over two years now. I have found that I do best running just winchestor brass that is factory 7-08. I neck col reload and have found I start losing accuracy with my brass after 3 reloads. I contacted Lapua about if they planned on releasing the 7-08...

Ok I'm on the fense here. This will primarily be my trainer for my Custom Savage bolt gun. However I want to also be able to drop it into a stock for my daughter later down the road and be able to use it for 22 Competitions for her later down the road. What kind of accuracy are you getting...

Gentlemen, Those of you that have an ST-10 at what range do you feel your scope is no longer affective? If you are a good shooter with good eyesight do you believe your optic is capable at 1300 yards and under? Or do you believe 1000 is your limit. Thanks, Merritt

We all know the PST is great glass for the price. I've been looking into it and the Busy Tactical. My concern is that the bushnell line thickness on the reticle will hinder me on high magnification. But my concern with the PST is the turrets being 3 screw will be a pain in the rear compaired...

Ok guys what's your take on this scope. I am currently running a 16x SS and love it however I feel this would be a jump to a complete other level of optic. It's competitor to my money would be the 6-20 SS. I can get the 1700 loaded out exactly how I want it for roughly the same price. I know...

The manufacture states 24hrs for a cure time on marine tex gray. I was wondering if I should give it more time than that before shooting. Anyone know the time frame on curing? Please advise. Thank you, Merritt

So I have the SS 16x. From the reviews I keep reading you can see more with the SS 10x HD than you can with even the 16x. Is it worth the 400.00 for the upgrade or am I going to be disappointed with less magnification? I shoot at TVP and 1200yards is on the first set of targets. On overcast...

First was taken by my brother (another 7mm-08) at 200 yards stationary: My little hog I hit at 300 was on the run (because I missed my first shot at it) but I still ear holed it, LITERALLY, while on the run, and the back side of it's grape is missing. Good Luck, Merritt

So A-maxes are hard to find right now while they re-tool for the new amp jacket with the A-max. So I ordered some the of the BTHP Hornady match 162s. I shoot in competitions out to and including 1200yards out of my 7mm-08. For me the A-max inconsistancy in the plastic tip has been a matter...

I just got an email from Bryan Litz that he has a Windows 7 mobile ballistic calc program in development now. He stated he is hoping to release it in 2-3 months. Our prayers will be answered and who better than by the man who litterally wrote the book on ballistics. Good Luck, Merritt

Gentlemen, I've been all through the sniper hide search and the google sniper hide search with no results. I just upgraded my phone to a new HTC that has Windows 7. Does anyone have some links to ballistic calc apps that will work with this OS? I've been searching for a couple hours now now...

Well a month or so ago I went on the search for a good data book. Knowing from Marine training that keeping a databook was the best way to improve your shooting and making your shots repeatable. This is GREATLY helpful for putting shots on target at tactical matches. I decided to go with...

So I keep seeing guys running 208gr amaxes with R-17. Was just wondering if anyone has tried the 180VLD, 175smk or even the 162amax with R-17. And if so what kind of velocites are you getting. Right now I'm running the following for my accuracy load. 162 amax 46.5 H4350 Winchestor brass...

Well I've been working on this rig for two years now. I've been buying parts as I can afford them and have been waiting on getting this rig complete so I could be more competative in competitions. Build specs: Stevens 200 Short action 26" Mcgowen Bull, CM, 7mm-08, 1 in 8, 11degree crown B&C...

Ok I just bit the bullet and ordered a mcgowen 26" bull in 7mm-08 with a 1 in 8 twist and an 11 degree crown. What are some starting points for this cartridge. What I have on hand: Winchestor brass 150gr SMKs IMR 3031 RL15 BL (C)2 What bullets are you guys running and what powders seem to...
