    Spotting Scope, need help with gear

    Re: Spotting Scope, need help with gear Thanks for the responses. I have been using the shoot and see targets and looking down range with my scope. I have a real hard time though making things out at 300. I thought about the idea of waiting to get a better scope, but I also shoot my m1a at...

    Spotting Scope, need help with gear

    Over the last few years, I have been getting more and more into shooting at medium distances. (200-300 yards) My current rifle is a sendero in 300 with a buckmaster scope. I currently don't have a spotting scope. I would love to buy a Kowa, but $1000 is not in the cards. My use would be seeing...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a point of diminishing returns on optics?

    Re: Is there a point of diminishing returns on optics? I think for me it comes down to this. I want to spend enough to get a quality scope that i will be happy with for a long time. I am not an f clas guy nore will I ever be. It seems silly to spend $1000 more than i need to, if I can put...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a point of diminishing returns on optics?

    Re: Is there a point of diminishing returns on optics? Thanks for a ton of opinions. I think I am leaning toward either the ss3x9 or a vortex pst think for my purposes the next jump is not worth it for my skill and shooting range. There seems to be a lot of good choices at the 500-800 range...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a point of diminishing returns on optics?

    Re: Is there a point of diminishing returns on optics? the reason I started hanging around here was because my personal goal is to be confident enough to shoot deer out to 400 yards. Right now I don't think I would go past 300 on a deer. I am just not that consistent past that. So I guess the...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a point of diminishing returns on optics?

    Re: Is there a point of diminishing returns on optics? To be honest the itch for a new scope has to do with adding another gun the stable. I just picked up a savage in 17hmr to use as a trainer, and I think the buckmaster would work great for that gun. So I could buy another buckmaster or...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a point of diminishing returns on optics?

    Re: Is there a point of diminishing returns on optics? I think that is a good point about how much I shoot. I would like to have a better answer but once a month is good for me. I am sure that a $1000 dollar scope is better than I am.

    Rifle Scopes Is there a point of diminishing returns on optics?

    I have spent countless hours searching and looking at posts on scopes and I am left with this question. What is the point of diminishing returns on an optic? I am looking for a high quality scope for my 300 sendero and I am stuck on this. Should I go with a 700-1000 scope like A sightron or...

    Out of spec chamber, or OAL help

    Re: Out of spec chamber, or OAL help Thanks for the info, it looks like I have been going about this wrong. When I measured my 30-06 chamber it is very close to the book length, but the 300 win is much longer. I have been treating the book length as a maximum and trying to get as close to...

    Out of spec chamber, or OAL help

    Re: Out of spec chamber, or OAL help Thanks , I knew that Remingtons have long chambers, but I was unsure how long was long. I have defiantly not ruled out operator error as I am no world class shooter, but I usually get much better results out of my other rifles. My ruger 77 30-06 isn't...

    Out of spec chamber, or OAL help

    Ok, so I have a sendero in 300 win that I have not been able to get the type of accuracy out of that I expected (around 1.25 inch or so average). I decided to measure my overall length by drawing on the bullet with black sharpie and chambering it until I did not see any marks. For the bullet I...

    700p markings?

    I am looking at getting a 300 win mag long range shooter/ hunter. I figure I would use it for the rare occasions where the 300 win mag is better suited than my 308. I am looking a the 700p, but I want to know if it is marked "Police" or LEO only or anything like that. The rifle could travel...
