    This, BTW, is a very good post since the answer will vary with whether you have a 0 or 20 MOA base, etc. Thanks for catching me. Cheers, FH

    Rifle Scopes Best all around scope $1500

    At the end of the day, a SFP scope is perfectly fine and a fair bit cheaper if you are either shooting at known ranges or can range (using a rangefinder) your target and do the necessary arithmetic for holdovers or work at the optimal magnification for the compensations of a BDC reticle. If, on...

    Rifle Scopes what rings do i need

    You'll need at least medium rings depending on the base or bases you use with a 50mm objective scope. I need medium rings (I prefer Leupy STD rings/bases on all my hunting rifles because the external windage adjustment for the rear ring allows me to set up for sighting in at mechanical zero for...

    What a Difference a Grain Makes

    I went to the range every day for the last 4 days and will go again today, in all likelihood. On Monday, I was looking to square away my Winny M70 EW in .30-06 for a possible upcoming hunt. Just to warm up, I had brought a few of my standard M1 Garand match loads (47.0 gr of IMR4895 under a...

    Is it worth it to accurize a Ruger M77?

    Re: Is it worth it to accurize a Ruger M77? I have two Ruger 77RSIs, one a .270 and one in 308. Both are sub-MOA with my hand loads. That said, my most accurate rifles are Rem 700s and a Savage 116. The aftermarket is better for those brands and the improvements will be more noticeable in all...

    How about the Win Model 70 Extreme Weather?

    Re: How about the Win Model 70 Extreme Weather? I have one in .30-06 with a Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44 scope. It shoots to <0.75" at 100 yards with my match loads (47.0 gr IMR 4895 under a 168gr SMK with CCI BR2 primers) and <1" with my hand loads using Barnes 168gr TTSX. It has been consistent...

    Help on a spur of the moment budget elk rifle

    Re: Help on a spur of the moment budget elk rifle You do not need a magnum for elk. I use either my .308 or .30-06 with Barnes 168gr TTSX bullets using the Barnes manual's load recommendations. I get < 1MOA accuracy and good terminal performance. Now 10,000' is a bit thin if you're not used...

    Average barrel life of stainless 30-06?

    Re: Average barrel life of stainless 30-06? Based on military experience and expected life of the M1 Garand barrel, I would expect 7,000-10,000 rounds depending on initial condition of the barrel. FH

    Accurizing a Rem 700 XCR Tactical Long Range?

    Re: Accurizing a Rem 700 XCR Tactical Long Range? I have a Rem 700 SPS Varmint in .308 Win that I have put in a Bell & Carlson Medalist A5 stock and glass bedded it. This rifle, with a 3-9x40 Zeiss Conquest Z-Plex scope in Leupy STD bases and rings, has consistently shot between 0.5" and...

    Who makes a decent "drop in " type stock?

    Re: Who makes a decent "drop in " type stock? I have used two B&C Medalist stocks. For a M700 SPS-Varmint, I used a B&C Medalist A5 and for a SPS SS SA, I used a B&C Medalist sporter. While both were drop in, some need some relief to fully free float the barrel and, because factory specs have...

    Recommended bullet for Newbie with 308?

    Re: Recommended bullet for Newbie with 308? I agree that, for the price, Nosler custom comps are a great bullet. Under 500 yards, I have used 168gr with excellent success. I use 155gr and 168gr Nosler CCs regularly. I have also had good success with Hornady A-Max and Match HPBT bullets and...

    A Quick Question in re new Winchester short action

    I have a chance to pick up a NIB Win M70 "Ultimate Shadow" in .308 Win for $449. I'm thinking it's a good candidate for a project for a precision rifle. I looked at the search function and there are some interesting comments there in re a few smiths, parts, etc. Another route is a new FNH SPR...

    Ruger No.1 Sniper Rifle ?

    Re: Ruger No.1 Sniper Rifle ? My Ruger No. 1A in 6.5x55 Swedish with no mods is a sub-1 MOA shooter that has produced "best" 3-shot groups of 0.5-0.6" at 100 yards...plenty good enough for being a nostalgic stalking rifle. I mounted a Leupy 2.5-8x36 scope, ideal for a compact hiking package...

    Got the Funds, Now to Get the Rifle

    Re: Got the Funds, Now to Get the Rifle Thanks to all for your thoughtful replies. I am leaning toward the TRG 22. I handled both a TRG 42 and a FNH SPRA5M today...I preferred the TRG. I'll try again next week and see if anything's changed. Thanks, and best wishes for a Happy Easter and...
