    Is anybody having trouble with Hodgdon Retumbo?

    Re: Is anybody having trouble with Hodgdon Retumbo? I also had issues with Retumbo. I had a lot that was pushing a 300gr bullet 2750FPS with no pressure; using the same charge the next lot dropped velocity and increased pressure.

    Most accurate .338LM under $6000?

    Re: Most accurate .338LM under $6000? BlackOps Precision and GAP will put a 3/8 MOA guarantee on their 338's. Not really the same thing as an AI, but if you want the 'guarantee' its a good way to go.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 It arrived today!

    Re: Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 It arrived today! Love mine; after experimenting with several other scopes I've come to the conclusion that the NF does everything I need and represents the best value for what I do.

    Rifle Scopes New Benchmark in Optics

    Re: New Benchmark in Optics I, humbly, disagree with the notion that German glass is significantly better than NF glass. I've used both scopes, and came to the conclusion that if one was better than the other I wasn't able to tell. However, I am mostly focused on resolution when I'm comparing...

    Re: Liberty Optics has dropped IOR Scopes Yikes, hope Scott can pick up some new brands (S&B, NF!) to make up for losing IOR and Premier.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper vs Nightforce Nsx is it worth it?

    Re: Vortex Viper vs Nightforce Nsx is it worth it? If you're on a budget the Viper should do fine, but it's nowhere near the quality of the NF.

    Anyone running a 24" 338 lapua??

    Re: Anyone running a 24" 338 lapua?? I had a Remington MLR that had a 24" barrel. I was able to get 300SMK's up to 2725FPS with the published max load of 94gr of Retumbo and was not experiencing cratered or flattened primers. I'd have to check my notes, but I believe the 250 Scenars were...

    Defective FN SPR, Tac-Cord vs. FNH USA

    Re: FN SPR Bent Firing Pin? I don't understand how the poor workmanship can be excused because the bedding was free. That's a bad work ethic to have, and if you're not proud of the work you're doing then you shouldn't have bedded these rifles in the first place.

    Surgeon Action Question

    Re: Surgeon Action Question The XL is listed at 3lbs 10oz for the repeater; the 1086 is 2lbs 5oz. I'd run the 1086 just for the weight advantage. Not sure what Tac-Ops barrel engravings have to do with this thread.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk 4 Vs. Nightforce

    Re: Leupold Mk 4 Vs. Nightforce NF for me. Every MK4 I've ever handled has stupid mushy turrets. That ruins it for me, can't be having butter coated marshmallow turrets in a $1000+ scope.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns New old School Colt Python

    Re: New old School Colt Python Very nice! I started getting into revolvers about a year ago and now my safe is conflicted with brand new bolt actions wearing modern scopes, and 50 year old revolvers! They're great and I especially love the Colts, and the older lockwork ones at that (Python...

    Remington Model 700 Police 338 Lapua questions

    Re: Remington Model 700 Police 338 Lapua questions What I want to know about it (at least) is: 1. What is the twist rate of the 26" barrel? <span style="color: #FF0000">Mine was 1:10, but it's more like a 24.5" barrel. When Remington says 26, they are including the length of the muzzle...

    Gunsmithing Model 70 National Match Clone Questions

    Re: Model 70 National Match Clone Questions Thanks for the responses, they've given me a lot to think about. I'll need to narrow down what it is I'm exactly after s far as the stock/barrel and smaller details like sling studs, etc. For the time being I'll start looking for an appropriate...

    Gunsmithing Model 70 National Match Clone Questions

    I've been thinking about putting together a build that would emulate a pre-64 Model 70 National Match in 30-06. I would want it externally to look identical to the factory rifles (period correct) but with a trued action, bedded stock, and custom barrel (and hopefully custom-rifle accuracy). I...
