    Rifle Scopes Exit pupil question

    Shopping for a high end hunting scope... I understand that beyond glass, brightness is largely a function of the size of the exit pupil. Maybe that isn't true, help me understand... Assuming that I understand correctly, will a say Swarovski z6i 2.5 -15 x 56 at 15x be brighter than a Swarovski...

    Tikka T3 300 win mag Magazine length?

    I had the same issues and concerns. I pulled the little metal tab out in the the front of the mag and gained 20-30 thousandths. I then took a triangle file and took out as much as I dared take and leave it strong, I think I got to 3.450... ran it like that for years, no problem. Wound up selling...

    Any Sako A7 shooters?

    I sent Jeff my A7 (long range model) a couple of years ago for a couple months to look at to build bottom metal for. He wound up having too much on his plate to do it. He offered me a free bottom metal for my trouble. I never took him up on it as it wound up being a year or 2 before I needed...

    Sako A7 Receiver "Shape"

    It's different than both. I had an A7 long range in 300 win, other than having a custom builder inlet for it there aren't alot of off the shelf choices. Maybe Bell and Carlson.

    Lightweight hunting setup

    I went very similar. I did a tikka Super lite in 300 Wm it weighs 5.5 without the scope. With hot 180 gr it kicks like an SOB and I'm 6'3 and 350. Great gun though. 6 point 5 is right about the lands I pulled the metal strip in the front of my mag and filed it out as far as I felt ok about...

    GO GET 'EM...Remington 700s at Walmart for $297

    It has a 35 or 40 dollar rebate on top of that. Plus it's still a hundred or 2 cheaper than you can get an action.

    Gunsmithing Sako quandry

    Nobody ever responds to me either when I ask Sako related questions. I think for this one though you might want to ask McMillan directly assuming you're getting the stock from them.
