is the 1-6 PST MRAD or MOA?

Racking my brain trying to determine what optic I need and hoped someone here could offer more advice. This rifle is my do all rifle first focus is deer hunting, so light transmission and enough magnification to evaluate game is a must. Then it shares duty as a truck/run and gun pig rifle, a...

Re: Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags? Why should they sell at a price point that people will clear out their stock and through it up for double on Gunbroker. They are a retail outlet trying to provide goods at a price that won't be sold for a profit....

Re: Are you seeing much here? Actually was shot with my rem ltr. Had this target ready to test a load with my other rifle and decided to just use it to test. Load details 178amax varget CCI BR-2 2.835 max COAL for magazine 100 yards, nasty tail wind 20 + or - mph

After I posted the results of my last test I went to .1 increments. It was a real windy day but I did my best to get the wind at my back.

Re: .308 OCW test 178amax over varget analysis help Seating them as long as they did it was what I would call just barely compressed. So if I test the next .1 of a grain or so it would be a bit more. My ultimate goal is at least throwing rounds out to 1k so the extra speed would be good...

Re: .308 OCW test 178amax over varget analysis help Only get out to shoot once a week and thought it was a great opportunity to shoot groups while the other cools. Now that I've done the round robin is shooting in strings ok or stay round robin?

Re: Vortex Viper HS 5-15x44 Mil-Dot I spent a good amount of time behind this scope the last few weeks and I am more impressed now than before. I was doing some loading tests between a hunting rifle with a nikon buckmaster and the viper. I was blown away thinking something was wrong with...

Re: .308 OCW test 178amax over varget analysis help Thanks a bunch for the advice. Would it be a terrible idea to shoot the groups in order? With testing the other rifle and walking back and forth there was at least 30 minutes between rounds fired if not a little more. The wind and...

Going through the 12 pages of .308 loads and people run anywhere from the factory spec 2.8" to into the lands a ways. What makes you choose the particular starting length you use when you develop. Asking this due to poor OCW results and many suggested I was too deep when I started at what...

Re: First .308 OCW test No chrono this was the first 24 loads I've built. Would it hurt to try seating a bit further out on the final dial in or stick to the book recommended 2.75 for this bullet.

Re: First .308 OCW test Detailed Shots

100 yard setup with my new portable stand I built Not the best day to shoot. Started the morning cloudy with a 10-15 mile tail wind. About halfway through the day the wind shifted towards the right and the sun came out. I feel like 45gr is the ball park but maybe the test doesn't show...

2 Questions- For a sporter weight savage, how long would you go in between shots? Any warm-up shots? If the maximum range was to be 200-250 yards is the OCW process as important or go with the bullet that provides a tiny group.
