    Ordering a McMillan today. Edge Technology with a suppressed rifle?

    I have not added up the weight differences. I have thought about it, but my experience with a 700 308 I have, is that the AICS mag limited my COAL. I know seating on or into the lans is not always necessary, but i have had bullets that like to be loaded into the lans. I am still a novice to...

    I need a range finder

    Re: I need a range finder yeah, I already have a small tripod. Its too bad you have to buy the $100 adaptor to put leica's on a tripod.

    I need a range finder

    Re: I need a range finder Thanks Here2Learn. Right now I plan to get a Leica 1600. From what I read it is better at ranging smaller targets beyond 650 yards. Hey, I should be passing through B-ham at the end of the month. Im heading to mobile for some deep sea fishing. I am currently out...

    I need a range finder

    Re: I need a range finder other than the display washing out, how well did you like it? I am leaning toward the leica 1600. I think it gives you inclination and declination, just doesnt give you the corrected range? Someone correct me on this if I am wrong. Got a slope doper in the mail...

    I need a range finder

    Re: I need a range finder Yeah. I think 12-1500 yards is going to be my max, without getting permission from neighboring land owners. There are no public ranges with those distances around here. Have not heard of any private ones either. I doubt my 257 will reach any further than that...

    I need a range finder

    Re: I need a range finder I have not read anything on the Swaro's. Do they adjust for angles? I would like to either get a range finder that can tell me inclination/declination, or maybe get some goodies from flatline ops.... Too many choices.

    I need a range finder

    Re: I need a range finder I have read they work well past 100o yards as well, just not on small targets. If I can accurately range my silhouette, that would be awesome, cause it will save me some money.

    I need a range finder

    Two years ago, I built a custom 257 wby with the intent to learn to shoot long distance. I worked up a custom load for the rifle, using 115 bergers. So, after two years I finally have a great place to practice. I have some inlaws that have a farm in central TN. So, there I can sit on a hill...
