    Barrel Length vs. range on 338 Lapua

    I am getting ready to build and was thinking of a 27-29 inch tube since that seems to be the standard length for this caliber. I am looking at one right now that has a 25" barrel. How much range am I giving up with a 25" barrel? Thanks

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Monarch Gold Laser Range Finder

    Hey guys, Has anyone had any experience with the Nikon Monarch Gold Laser Range Finders? I have had a look at one in a gun shop and it functioned very well. It wasn't as clear as the Swarovski, but ranged a lot quicker, was smaller, and much much cheaper. Has anyone had any field experience...

    Range Report The Lot Lizard *Range Report*!!!

    Took the 6.5 Creedmoor out for the first time today, the rifles an absolute hammer... The Badger action is smooth as butta, and the thing performs flawlessly, as expected... The groups aren't stellar, but I think they reflect well on what the rifle will do. I messed with it last, and had been...

    Only Long Range Rifles, anybody use them?

    Hey, I ran across this site/business that makes these custom built .50 BMG and .416 Barrett single-shot rifles for pretty cheap. They are heavy rifles with pretty long barrels but seem to have enough recoil compensation. http://www.onlylongrange.com/6352.html That shows the rifles with...

    Hello, Just picked up the 700 SPS, the one with the flat bottomed plastic stock and high comb. Has anyone cleaned out the end section portion that touches the barrel? I was thinking if I should just shoot it without mods or clean it out before I do. Few minutes with a dowel and sandpaper. I...

    Advanced Marksmanship What’s your long range shooting procedure?

    When you show up to the range do you just sit down and start shooting or do have a procedure that you follow? What I mean by that is, do you show up and start measuring the temp, barometric pressure, obviously wind, and the other stuff? I’ve been shooting long range for about a year and a half...
