    Rifle Scopes So, what about Leupold Mark 5 ?

    I have mine in low rings. I had to cut the front off my Talley 20 MOA mount (I have a long LOP)

    Rifle Scopes So, what about Leupold Mark 5 ?

    This is my experience also. CA is there, but it's not a deal breaker and the turrets, size, weight and reticle more than make up for it.

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting rounds for the 6.5

    That is using the 147 ELD Match. I think it will be great for hunting (if it is more or less identical to the A MAX), but it's not recommended for it by Hornady. YMMV.

    No. Get the match chamber.

    Hunting & Fishing Is camo critical when hunting big game ?

    Most hunting specific clothing is shit. The guys that are doing it right (first light, kuiu, sitka) charge you a premium for it. Buy good outdoor gear from reputable hiking brands in dull colours and you are good to go.

    Do I need a kestrel

    Most smart phones do air pressure & will run your ballistic calculator. Wind meters are cheap (I bought one with a temperature gauge for 6 USD from aliexpress).

    Rifle Scopes Internal adjustment required

    I meant it as an example of the bare minimum required. Of course you don't want to be at the extreme ends of your scope travel, however most scopes have far more than 40MOA.

    Rifle Scopes Internal adjustment required

    At the glacial pace of 2650 fps you'll have a drop at 1000m of around 39 MOA. Take off 20 for your rail, leaves you with 19 MOA of drop to take up with the scope. So a total of 40 MOA adjustment should sort you out close enough.

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action Build

    No. AFAIK Bergara is R700 pattern. Howa has a square bottom and a large, tapered integrated recoil lug

    Hornady 4DOF users - how are you liking this?

    To add to my grumbling about units, I just tried to go back to 4DOF today. Who is using Kph for wind (metric units)? I've only ever seen meters/second for wind when it comes to the shooting world.

    Is it possible to single feed a Nucleus, like it is a Mausingfield?

    Height over bore: how important is it really?

    If it's too high for comfort, and you have room to go down, I don't see why you wouldn't try and go lower. Height over bore impacts rifle fit and the magnitude of cant influence. If you are level and have great rifle fit & sight picture, a tall height over bore is no issue.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for a set of light hunting rings

    I wish the nightforce ultralights were available with a lower profile cross bolt, rather than that huge nut!

    What would be the best length barrel for creedmoor hunting rifle build

    20" light profile barrel. Shorter = stiffer, but you're not shooting long strings with it anyway so there's no big advantage to going with a heavy profile.
