I recently purchased a Nightforce NXS 12-42x56 for F/TR shooting. I was using a Hawke 6-24x56 ($450 scope) that worked very well. I was hoping to get better clarity and focus at longer ranges with the Nightforce. I see no difference in the two up to 22x power and neither focus well beyond 500...

I'm developing new loads for my new F/TR gun. It's a 308 Win, Bartlein 30" 1 in 10 twist heavy varmint contour, throat depth .085. I'm loading the Berger 185 grn match hybrid in Lapua brass, CCI BR2 primers. I'll be trying Varget, VHT N540 and VHT N550 powders initially. Based on my...

I just built a custom rifle in 308 Winchester - TAC-30, Bartlein heavy contour 30" barrel. I have never hand loaded for a 30" barrel. I'll be shooting the Berger 185 grain hybrid target. How do I determine the best powder / burn rate for this setup without a lot of trial and error? I have...

I like the Manners MCS-T4A, The Bell and Carlson adjustable Medalist, and the McRees Precision G5 folding rifle chassis. I'm trying to...

I am building a custom 308 Winchester bolt action rifle. I have not decided which bullet to shoot but I'm considering a larger 200+ grain Berger bullet for better wind resistance. If I were to install a barrel with a 1 in 10 twist rate, would that possibly cause a problem if I decided to shoot a...

I'm building a custom 308 on a Stiller TAC 30 for F-T/R competition. What trigger weight is commonly used for this type of shooting? I see triggers with pull weight in ounces and no safety such as the Jewell BR and the Timney Tactical. Are these too light or unsafe? I've never used a trigger...
