Just bought one from Europtic. Looks like there is a small black blemish on the upper top left of the lens between 10-11 o'clock. Can't see it from the outside, but when looking through the scope. Cleaned the lens - no change. Looks like there are two small words in the bottom of the lens...

Guys, I'm having a hell of a time figuring out what stock to order for my hunting rifle build. Have a #3 barrel, will be short action model 70, and I've considered Sako Classic, Manners SL, McM hunters edge, etc. Like a straight comb that is fairly high and want a handy rifle, not one set...

Guys, Not sure if this should go in this forum or bolt action, but want the opinions of hunters for this question so I put it here. I'm kicking off a .260 or .308 build on a model 70 action. #2 or #3 contour is what I'm thinking, prob 22-23". Question is what stock? Don't want a heavy...

Guys, I've got a model 70 in .243 that I want to convert to .260. Love the action but know that most of the precision guys are working on 700's. Wondering if there is anyone out there known to be great at building accurate long range model 70 rifles? Thanks for the help. 10gen

Just sent payment for an FN PBR-XP (model 70) in .308 with a hogue stock and 20" barrel. Also just bought a #4 rock creek cut rifled 5r .308 barrel. Going to put a NXS 2.5-10x42 on top of it. What stock? Have thought about Manners T or the newer EH3. Also thought about an HTG...

I have a 1903 barreled action that was put in a very nice wood stock some time ago. Just bought it and have been shooting some FGMM I picked up (168 gr). I've heard the original 1903's had 1-10" twist - is that true?. Its not bad for a hunting rifle, I'm probably averaging 1-2" groups...

Need some Hide Advice on a build I’m starting: Purpose: Practical Rifle in .308 – will be used for hunting, range work (nothing serious) and to have a .308 as an all purpose rifle. Realistically, most shooting will be under 200yds. Like to be accurate to 300-400 if needed. Would likely take...

I've done searches, but can't seem to find many reviews for this specific scope. I've got a custom .260 Rem built on a 700 action and Manners T stock. Have a Swaro Z5 3.5-18 on it right now but want to get a scope that is better suited to long range shooting, taking precision rifle classes...

Newbie reloader. Have a fair amount of twice fired Lapua brass I'd like to use. Seems like most of the loads I see on the hide are for Remington Brass. Looks like a good powder to start with is H4350. Have heard start at 41 grains and work up toward 43. Agree? What primers are best for Lapua...

I got a Remington 700 in 7mm08 and had some loads made with the 162 Hornady Amax bullet. Drove me crazy at the range because the polymer tip of the Hornady kept getting stock on the front of my magazine and creating constant feeding problems. So, looking for best match bullet for 7mm08 that...

Looking to take PR1&PR2. Have a .260 that will be great for the class, but thinking I need a mil/mil scope to get the most out of it. I'm trying to get opinions on the following: Magnification - do I need a 3-15, or something more like a 5-25? I know that we will shoot out to 1000, not sure...

All, I'm planning a pig hunt with my son in the Paso Robles area (central CA, midway between SF and LA) and doing my research got me thinking about negotiating a group rate. One idea would be to put together a hunt on a specific weekend in the spring (little late to plan a hunt this year)...

I mostly shoot a 1911 and Glock 9mm. Took the 1911 to Gunsite last year for their 250 course and had a blast. Was pleased with my performance, but my main issue was trigger control when shooting multiple rounds quickly. Would push my shots down or to the left....or both. Figured out by loading...

Just got my new V8 with the lever. All the basic features were very clear - extending legs, changing angle, etc. Just messing around with it, don't have my rifle with me, did not get any sense of the panning ability. Is that adjusted with the lower knob? Will I feel it when I get it on my...

Trying to get some recommendations on match ammo for my .260. Am aware of Corbon, Black Hills, HSM, and Southwest. Have heard of the new Federal Match ammo but have not found anywhere on the web to buy it. Would be great to hear what people are shooting, what they like, any recommendations...

I have done multiple searches on this topic. I'm way down the road on a .260 build and need to make the call on my DBM. I was going to go with Surgeon as I have read lots of great things and am not a fan of the Badger release. However, after learning more about the Seekins, it really sounds...

Guys, I’m getting ready to start my first build and wanted to run it by all of you for feedback. Caliber: .260 Purpose – rifle is going to be for hunting and range work. Trying to find the balance between something I can easily carry and handle for hunting deer and pig and still shoot...
