    Reloading companies - operating

    Does anyone know any companies that are currently taking match grade .308 Win 175gr or 168 gr reloading orders with reasonable turnaround times. I am not in a position to reload myself due to deployment. Southwest is down right now as you probably know. Don't mind waiting a few months for...

    Son,s first .22 what scope?

    Guys great advice. My son is already a good shot and shoots .223 and .308 plus pistol with me so he is no beginner. Agree that iron sights should come first. I am starting to get the hang of what folks are saying about .22 scopes. Now just got to decide on one from the great examples given...

    Son,s first .22 what scope?

    Thanks guys, more comments welcomed. It is great shooting with your kids, no matter what age. Some serious bonding time! Bit of a pain when sometimes they get better than you, but then put that down to the teacher, hey!

    Son,s first .22 what scope?

    Hi All, I am just buying my teenage son his first rifle a Ruger 10/22, and I am looking for the best scope on a budget of $250 max. I do not shoot .22 and have no real idea what would be best. He has plenty of experience shooting with me but with larger calibers, so he is no beginner. He...

    Rifle Scopes Best value for money multi power scope to x20 or x25

    Pleistarchus, thanks for the offer, but I am saving to do all this at the moment and have not reached the amount I need, so will have to wait to buy the scope. Also just about to have one of my kids go to college, so about to become a whole lot poorer!!! I have not checked out the Bushys, so...

    Need some basic education - light, short, 1000 yrds plus other Qs

    Thanks folks for the info. When I spoke of a skeleton stock I meant a minimilist stock like an XLR, to reduce weight. With regard to range, my nearest decent range, non competition is 885 yrds but I have access to ranges to and above 1000yrds for competition, and non populated areas where you...

    Rifle Scopes Best value for money multi power scope to x20 or x25

    I am really looking for sub 2K on the scope and also FFP for known and unknown distance. Yes I look at the various optics here but just need advice on makes. I also need illumination as I do twilight and early morning shoots. Not using 338, yet, just 308. Some say that NF are not very...

    Rifle Scopes Best value for money multi power scope to x20 or x25

    Would love some feedback on best value for money scopes as above. I love USO scopes but really pricy. I know you need the best glass you can afford but can't go this high. Use is long range 1000-1500. The new Vortex HD has to be on the list, but who else? I hear stories about SWFA not being...

    Need some basic education - light, short, 1000 yrds plus other Qs

    So a few questions: What is the reason for long action and short action? How do barrel length and twist rate relate to each other? If you shorten a barrel is there an equation for change in twist rate? If you shorten a barrel I hear you should use ammo with a higher muzzle velocity...

    Hard to chamber a round.

    Did the change in headspace allow you to use all the so called 308 brands or only within a defined spec? I have never changed the headspace where did you pic up the info'. I think I need to do the same with mine.
