    .243 Win. to 1,400 yards

    Re: .243 Win. to 1,400 yards Brandon, you are correct and that explains the discrepancy and also makes the performance even more incredible. I'm doing my first bolt-action build. For the most part I've been a AR-15 type shooter mostly due to restrictions in range (100 yards) and my sausage...

    .243 Win. to 1,400 yards

    Re: .243 Win. to 1,400 yards Coming from the 5.56 and .308 semi-auto crowd I know next to nothing about .243 so this quite literally shocked me. I just plugged your posted Load Data and environmentals into JBM and got 1380 as the super-sonic threshold so I think much farther and you would...

    Any reason to choose 700p over 700 SPS?

    Re: Any reason to choose 700p over 700 SPS? Ok that's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure they weren't doing something additional to the police model like better trigger or action truing. Thanks, @BugInJim

    Rifle Scopes Broken side focus on super sniper

    Re: Broken side focus on super sniper Just wanted to give a +1 to SWFA customer service. The first 10x42 HD I ordered came with mis-keyed notches on both the elevation and windage knobs. SWFA quickly sent me a new one along with a swag package and a *hand-written* letter apologizing for the...

    Which stock for short sausage fingers?

    Re: Which stock for short sausage fingers? Jayph, You just blew my mind. I had no idea there were AR style bolt platforms out there. I've lead a sheltered life Pulled up the AI site and by the looks of it the profile between the standard AE and AX are identical minus the thumbhole...

    Which stock for short sausage fingers?

    Hello all, Long time lurker here. Trying to spec out my first LR bolt gun. My background is primarily with AR platform rifles. I'm limited to 400 yards but have recently discovered a 1000 yard range within a reasonable drive and so the hunt begins. Problem: Over the years I've stuck with...
