    My first long range rifle endeavor

    Thanks for the info everyone. Just for my information, why is this more advantageous than what I described? With my hunting rigs I've always wanted them to be 1.5 or so inches high at 100 so they are zeroed at about 200 and should still be in the kill zone at about 250. Also, lets say I...

    My first long range rifle endeavor

    OK, so I have lots of experience with hunting rifles and handguns. I've sighted in plenty of scopes before, but I don't know a lot about long range shooting. I have recently acquired a Remington 5R .308 and topped it with a SWFA SS 10x mil dot scope. I plan to sight it in and shoot it out...

    bolt handle jumps upon trigger break???

    Hey all, I was looking at a Remington 700 5R 20'' at a local gun store, and I noticed that when the trigger breaks there is significant movement of the bolt - it jumps/jerks a direction parallel to the barrel. I would say more than five millimeters of movement. The gun store guy said it was...

    Rifle Scopes Scope around the 500 dollar range

    Re: Scope around the 500 dollar range Do people shoot to 1000 with 3-9 power scopes? I have a 4-12 on my .30-06, but I was thinking of at least 4-16 for the .308 and possibly 5-20. What is the verdict of falcon menace 5-25x50?

    Rifle Scopes Scope around the 500 dollar range

    Re: Scope around the 500 dollar range Thanks for the reply. I would like for the scope to be good for target shooting as well as hunting, so I guess the BDC reticle is out. I was mainly looking for suggestions on specific brands and models of scope. So far the only nice scope I have is a...

    10'' rate of twist on R700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD

    Does anyone own this rifle? What ammo do you use? Will I be able to get accuracy out of supersonic ammo, such as 150 or 180 grain core-lokt? The standard tactical has a 12'' rate of twist.
