    Rifle Scopes Tired of 1-6, or 1-8xtiny objective.

    Just like the title says, this garbage needs to stop. When will the likes of Nightforce, Schmidt&Bender, USO, etc figurebit out? LPVOs need bigger objectives above 4x...IMO, anything less than 5mm exit pupil makes the magnification useless for dynamic shooting. Thoughts?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Drinking the CZ coolaid, which model?

    If you like the look of the CZ, I’d strongly encourage you to look at Tanfoglio Stock 3. Get one done up by patriot defense. Their mods include teaming/polishing the chamber which eliminates the OAL issue with certain reloads. If your hands are medium to large, you’ll like the grip better than...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Trijicon MRO + Shotgun + waterfowling

    Thanks 101st. Burris fast fires have been used for waterfowl going on a decade now, and I’ve used a scope for Turkey...the concept is not preposterous, was just wondering if the tubular shape would be difficult to transition into vs an rmr/eotech type. I think the red dot will force better...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Trijicon MRO + Shotgun + waterfowling

    Just like the thread says...has anyone done his or even installed one to shoot clays? I have a spare MRO & thinking of this combo for hunt early next year. Is the 2MOA reticle a hindrance?

    Rifle Scopes *JUST RELEASED* Nightforce NX8 FFP 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube & ATACR F1 1-8x24mm 34mm Tube Models

    This thread has been enlightening! I went in looking to be convinced to buy a NCS 1-8. But, in the end, I’ll probably end up with the Khales 1-6, swaro equivalent, or Steiner TX5.

    Gunsmithing Timmney Tikka Trigger mod to fit LH rifle

    They don't make a LH version they say. But it seems like a smith could easily make the changes...i may try it.

    Gunsmithing Timmney Tikka Trigger mod to fit LH rifle

    Looking at Timmney's new Tikka T3 trigger, it looks straightforward to convert it to lefty (a couple of e-clips swapped). What about the rifle's safety? will it meed to be modified in some way? What else am I missing?

    Great Article on the Army / Remington XM110 Program

    Kevin, since CE you were in QA, why did DPMS not NDE ever part of the rifles they sent to be evaluated by the military? It it seems to have been a failure of QA to ensure no defects with parts is what de-railed DPMS's entry.

    Sleuthing IMI 5.56 77gr OTM LR Mod 1 ??

    07yzryder, I don't know much about the 77gr Berger OTM...but i suspect it's probably seating-depth sensitive unlike all their non-hybrid offerings. Measure the throat to your rifling. If you are circa 30-35-thousands off the lands at mag-length, then yes, that load should shoot lights out for ya.

    Sleuthing IMI 5.56 77gr OTM LR Mod 1 ??

    Yes, loaded to maglength...i shoot it to 600yards frequently.

    Sleuthing IMI 5.56 77gr OTM LR Mod 1 ??

    Don't sleuth anything. Load 24.7gr Varget under 77smk and shoot it. Should get you close to 2,750 - 2,800ft/s from a 20" AR-15 and will be accurate than you.

    Question about .308 velocities?

    SVX, Dont you know Hornady, Sierra (and all bullet manufacturers) "lawyer down" their load data? I prefer to get my load data from two(2) sources: 1. Powder manufacturer (and lyman reloading manuals) 2. My Rifle(s). They tell me what a "hot" load is, what an accurate load is, etc. Also...

    Question about .308 velocities?

    Chris, Try my favorite hunting/match load: 178Hornady AMAX 44.4gr Varget LC or Win Bras Win Large Rifle Primer 2.80" COAL That load absolutely hammers and is responsible for a lot of dead pigs, deer, sheep, paper, and personal best 600yard match scores. I've used said load in my M1A &...

    Question about .308 velocities?

    No worries Chris. I'm an engineer, so it irks me when ppl on shooting forums use "meters" and "yards" interchangeably...in the real world, the differences are huge and the consequences of mixing units can be dire. Back on point, what powders & bullets do you have available? I can offer some...

    Question about .308 velocities?

    Chris, Your approach is all wrong. Energy in itself does not kill an animal, neither does a bullet's "Knock-down power", expressed in FPE. Shot placement and velocities high enough to produce reliable expansion at your maximum range is what matters. Shooting any animal in the leg with any...

    When to switch from 4350 to 4831 in the .30-06?

    H-4831 is a significantly slower burning powder than H-4350. H-4831 is not well suited to bullets below 190gr... As a general rule, above 200gr, H-4831 will yield better velocity than H-4350 without pressure signs...If all you can find is H-4831, then your decision has been made for you.

    Range Report 175 SMK unstable

    There are two possible explanations: 1. Someone Cross-fired on your target (and their issues were transposed on your target) 2. There is tall grass in front of the target that caused your bullet to deflect as it hit the target...this has happened to me before although with 556 rounds.

    Remington 700 long range questions

    Don mean to threadjack but, how difficult is it to convert a Rem 700 to a LH version? I'd like to pick up one of these, and then change it to a lefty versions...I want this to be a "cheap" conversion. I may: do the Timney trigger mod and add a mcmillan HTG stock and get said stock inletted...
