    Request Advice for Spotting Scope

    Kowa 88mm should be at the top of your list to learn about. It is an incredible scope. New ones with an eyepiece will be $3k+. I don't have much insight as far as tripods. I use a MeFoto carbon Globe Trotter. It's pretty light and very solid. There are cheaper and much more expensive options.

    Rifle Scopes Optimal Tangent Theta Mounting System

    So I emailed Tangent Theta with this question, and they responded (very quickly) that they recommend Badger rings, torqued to 15 in-lbs. So I ordered some Badger alloy rings...we will see how they hold up to 300 Norma recoil. If I see any slipping, I guess I will have no choice but to try...

    Surgeon Action?

    Gradous is a big Surgeon fan. I trust guys like Mike R and Robert (to the tune of 4 Surgeon actions) and I'll let the kids play with all the shiny new actions.

    Proof vs. Bartlein/Krieger

    I am considering a Proof barrel for a hunting rig for the weight savings and because they look cool/different. For those of you who have run these barrels, how is the accuracy? Are you seeing Bartlein/Krieger levels of accuracy from Proof? Given the...

    Rifle Scopes Optimal Tangent Theta Mounting System

    I just picked up a TT315M, and I am trying to figure out a mounting solution. I understand that TT recommends no more than 15 in-lbs of ring screw torque, which is less than the recommended ring screw torque on pretty much every mount I use. I was considering using Nightforce Ultralite 30mm 4...

    New Gradous Masterpiece

    Sorry for the delayed response, I haven't looked at this thread in a while. I love the McMillan A5. It is my all time favorite stock. I have a 338 Lapua improved in an A5 as well. That is a molded in camo finish - light green, dark green, and light tan.

    Rifle Scopes 36mm scope ring options

    FYI - I use 4 screw Nightforce ultralights on my 300 Norma improved, and the scope has never slipped or moved in the slightest. The 6 screw isn't necessary. I do use 6 screw on 338 Norma improved. I know you aren't looking at Nightforce, but you don't have to be constrained to 6 screw.
