    Rifle Scopes Lightest/smallest quality scope with at least 14x magnification

    Not sure of the application, I have the Leupold LRP 4.5-14x50 on my Tikka 260 hybrid hunter it weighs in at 20 oz for less than $1k https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1018307281/leupold-vx-3i-lrp-rifle-scope-30mm-tube-45-14x-50mm-side-focus-first-focal-matte

    Rifle Scopes Using scope turret to level scope fail

    same here, if the housing is flat, I use one of those pocket rulers from home depot as its a bit thicker than a feeler guage. You just slip it in a pic slot, angle it up and rotate the scope till its flat. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Johnson-6-in-Stainless-Steel-Pocket-Clip-Rule-7202/204513472

    What's your favorite caliber for hunting?

    For big game would be my Tikka SL in 308. {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com\/20170822\/bca3e5176515fde1c380b558d5f00205.jpg"} Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Looking for a good hunting/target load in .308

    Before I moved over to 260, I did a lot of hunting with the 308. I started with the 178 Amax, which can now be found in the 178 ELD-X. Later I moved to a 155 Lapua Scenar(very similar BC and sectional density) , this bullet makes clean kills and great on steel. Seated over some Varget, RE15, or...

    Rifle Scopes Scope choice help

    If you want to stay along the same line with leupold, take a look at the VX3i LRP. Its a no frills scope for shooting long range. Large easy to read elevation knob, throw lever. You can use the windage exposed or capped. Sure there are other scopes out there, but I went with this one for my...

    Hello and first rifle caliber rec...6.5 or 223?

    I say get the 6.5 CTR, it is a very versatile rifle with a barrel profile that is lighter than the varmint but can take longer string of shots than a sporting rifle. The recoil is not bad at all, seriously. I took my CTR and dropped it in a Bell and Carlson medalist, it makes for a nice short...

    brass cleaning frequency

    Yeah, since I use imperial sizing wax, I tumble after sizing to remove the lube. Thats every reloading session. I anneal after 5 reloads.

    Rifle Scopes I could use some help in selecting a scope

    OK, there are a lot of scopes out there that may get you close, however 1400Y is a tough one on that budget. I only say this because I would never suggest a scope for this task that I would not purchase myself. Just some tips on purchasing scopes. Glass always trumps features: The glass...

    What to do Rem 721?

    if your 721 has Irons and tapped on the receiver for a peep, I would just keep it original and use it as a brush gun. 30-06 pushing some 155 scenars would be a fun, lite, deer dropper.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender hunting scopes

    I have a Zenith and Stratos, both great hunting scopes with illumination. The stratos has both adjustable external elevation and windage knobs. The zenith are capped. You can pay more for the polar, if you really need the most light transmission. The stratos is more than bright enough for me. I...

    help me choose a bipod

    If you already have the pic rail, then the BT10 will work fine. I would not call it sloppy, you can get a good load on the bipod and the legs move both back and forth. Which rifle is this BTW? Does it have a sling swivel? Good ol Harris works fine without all the extra high speed stuff. BRM-S...

    Rifle Scopes S&B model question.. What am i missing??

    Sometimes online vendors can use stock photos etc. the best way to tell what you are getting is to cross the model number with the price list. It will give you all of the codes i/e CW, CCW , DT ST LR etc http://www.schmidtundbender.de/en/downloads/file/766-sub-pricelist-2017-de-uk.html

    starting with the 7mm08

    All reloading manuals will have a burn chart, this one is form the Vihtavuori manual. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5e/69/0f/5e690f325e04a897c9cbaf99b9fa0a34.jpg once you look at the Nosler reloading info, you will see that H4350 and similar powders do well with the heavier...

    starting with the 7mm08

    Generally the heavier you go with a bottleneck case, you want a slower powder. I like the Nosler reloading manual online, it shows case fill, powered options, speed and which ones did the best for them. 150 ABLR, 162 amax and 168 ABLR should fair well for you. I shoot a 7x57 which is the...
