    Rifle Scopes Need some advice on magnification to 1000 yards

    Re: Need some advice on magnification to 1000 yards I have shot 600 yards with a Bushnell 3200 tactical elite in 10x and it was fine. When I started shooting 1000 yards I went up to a 24x because the cross hairs were so thick that it makes placement on the black a bit tough. I have also...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell v. Vortex v. ??

    Re: Bushnell v. Vortex v. ?? I have a 5R and put the Bushnell Tactical Elite 6-24x50 mil/mil ffp mildot on it. I love it the ffp is fantastic and I love the turret knobs. I use a 20 MOA base and have shot it at 600 and 1000 yards and it works very well with 175 Bergers in 308. I had a...

    Why do I NEED a detachable box magazine?

    I'm looking to get a new McMillan stock for my Rem700 5R. The Rem bottom metal is gone, but what should I replace it with? I would like to some day shoot F-class competition so maybe there is a need there. I really don't need quick reloads at the range so what are some other reasons I should...

    please help me with my .308 load

    Re: please help me with my .308 load This technique makes a lot of sense. My question is: does group size trump all? By this I mean I have found a nice load for my Rem700 5R (175 SMK, Norma brass, Varget, BR2) that groups very well but the standard deviation of the velocity is 21.8. The...
