    Rifle Scopes Burris scopes

    Re: Burris scopes I bought a Burris Tac 30 4.5 -14x 42mm just less than a year ago. I don't think this is around anymore - I think there is a similar MTAC model. I am not a huge fan of this scope, to the point it doesn't have a permanent home on any of my rifles. Shortcomings: 1. parallax...

    Update: 1st Rem700 .308 Build Finished - For now

    Re: First-time Remington 700 .308 Build - Thoughts? Don't buy crappy glass. Period. By the time you 1000 rnds down the tube you will regret it. You don't really say what distance you will be shooting out to, but if it is say > 500 yards then reliable turrets are a must. Don't assume cheap...

    First handloads and Range Report, Rem. 700 LTR

    Re: First handloads and Range Report, Rem. 700 LTR Looks like you are off to a good start. Have you seen any signs of high pressure, yet? Heavy bolt lift, flattened primer edges, etc.? If I understand your targets correctly you haven't matched the muzzle velocity of FGMM ammo yet. The POI...

    Which 700 to buy?

    Re: Which 700 to buy? You've gotten a lot of excellent advice here. You are new to lr precision shooting and maybe on a budget (I didn't read where you wrote money is tight). I might suggest a different decision tree for you. You are building a system, yet you are only talking about the...

    GAC THUNDER .408 Chey TAC ... ELR video

    Re: GAC THUNDER .408 Chey TAC ... ELR video I guess there might be some good reason to shoot up historic ruins. I just can't think of any.

    .260 Rem Match ammo from Federal.

    Re: .260 Rem Match ammo from Federal. Here the price of competing Ammo. Based on these prices I doubt we will see the new federal stuff sell for as low as $25 a box (I hope I'm wrong). For what it is worth, I tried the 139 gr and 142 gr awhile back and got good results - and the price is...

    Southwest .260 ammo

    Re: Southwest .260 ammo I used both when I got a new Savage rifle last August. Both grouped at 0.75 to 1" at 100 yards with this out of the box rifle. I was happy with it. I handload now and with 140 gr VLD Bergers and get maybe a little better accuracy. Price is great (or at least it...

    Best 1,000 yard rifle in .260 Rem for $1,000ish?

    Re: Best 1,000 yard rifle in .260 Rem for $1,000ish? The Savage predator max 10 (dumb name) I have shoots well out to 1000 yards with Berger 140 vld hand loads. Excellent price for value. For match ammo look at Southwest Ammunition (great stuff, great price) and HSM and Core Bon (I haven't...
