If I had a .223 Remington, a .308 Winchester, a .300 Winchester Magnum, and a .338 Lapua Magnum which one would I be a better shot with? Is 24x enough magnification to shoot out to 500 yards?
 
Re: Which caliber?

The way you have them listed is also the manner in which they recoil most. I have found FOR ME, a lesser recoiling rifle will be shot more accurately, for ME.

US Marines used to use a 10X scope for out to 1,000 yards. I don't know what they use now. I prefer something more powerful for my old eyes. But I'm currently using a Leupold 8.5 X 25 X 50mm.

Re: Which caliber?

This morning I woke up with a really bad hangover from watching the Tigers win the college world series and had a similar question; which bullet is best for all northern hemisphere big game animals? I plan to keep ranges less than 1800m, cost is not a factor, and reloading is for people with too much time on their hands.

82mm with the optional 2 in trailer ball mount and a acog.
 
Re: Which caliber?

I'd opt for the 2 5/16 ball. Just to be safe.
As for the ACOG make sure you go with the Red Illumination not the amber. The discharge form the 82mm will blend to much with the ret.

I'm not sure what length of pull would suit best.
 
Re: Which caliber?

I prefer to use the 15.lb cannons. With a diameter that big you can take out the entire target and all the trees and dirt behind it
 
Re: Which caliber?

If you are a Marine all you need is an M4 with open sights, shooting off, hand to achieve head shots at 500 yards.

Teasing aside. What is your budget?
 
Re: Which caliber?

If it's "a penny for your thoughts", but everybody puts in "their two cents worth", where do all those extra pennies go?
 
Re: Which caliber?

you picked the wrong thread to ask a serious question,however,
the answer to your question IS depending on your size,age,
gender,#of times you have been married,#of times you have been divorced,and sexual preference.when those have been answered,
if you still want to know ask again.

Re: Which caliber?

Should I use duct-tape or epoxy-resin to mount my Leapers secret squirrell sniperscope to my airsoft Rem-700 sniper rifle? How many minutes of duck should I add when shooting up hill at a 70 degree arc at 1000 yards with a full-value 9:00-3:30 crossdresser moving at 4.3mph from port to starboard? Should I hold over?
