    Rifle Scopes 1000 bucks. SWFA or Vortex?

    I own the swfa and have a few friends with pst. Glass is definitely better in the swfa vs the 3 different 6-24 pst I have seen. Swfa has more internal travel if that matters, 10 mil knobs are nice too. Overall swfa just feels sturdier than the pst to me. That being said the pst seem more...

    Re: 260 pressure issues I have the same rifle. I noticed severe pressure signs with 41gr of h4350 after I resized my brass. I discovered I was oversizing it. I bought a gauge to allow me to measure shoulder bump and haven't had a problem since. Just a thought

    Rifle Scopes Did I mess up my scope?

    Re: Did I mess up my scope? Are you sure that the objective lens was turning with the exterior rings? I ask because I experience something similar on my 2.5-16x42. I was removing the sunshade after it had been on there a while and noticed that the front most ring on the objective housing...

    Savage 260 LRP review

    Re: Savage 260 LRP review I have close to 1000 rounds through mine, still really pleased with the rifle. I have switched to 140 amaxs because of how much cheaper they are than the bergers, and i thought i would not have to worry about chasing the lands to keep them jammed. So far so good...

    Savage 260 LRP review

    Hello, I have been lurking for a while now and learned a lot, so thank you all for that. I wanted to give a little review on my experiences with my Model 12 LRP in 260 rem. I wanted to get into the long range game, but like most did not have unlimited funds. Rather than blow my whole budget...
