    3.715 polymer 3 round mag?

    I just purchased a Proof 7mmPRC with a 3.715 long metal mag. Does anyone make a 3 round Polymer mag? I just don't like that 5 rounder hanging out the bottom so far. I never shot 5 times at anything in my life. What are my options?

    anyone bought a Zermätt Origin Action lately

    Am looking at A new budget short action and like the looks of the Origin action. What is the quality of these? Will I need to have a bunch of work done to it before I have a barrel put on it to be a shooter? Planning on using a Proof CF in 7mm SAW

    RL-16 temp stable?

    I’m not sure why but I was under the impression that reloader 16 was temp stable. I’m shooting it in a 6.5 Creedmoor and I lost 75 FPS from 100°F to 55°F today. I know that even the temp stable powders lose a little bit, but in my opinion, that’s pretty drastic what say ye sniper hide?

    Leupold MK4-5?

    I think I need some new glass on my 7 PRC. Right now I’ve got a Swarvoski Z5 5-25. I just don’t like it. There’s something about it. I am considering one of the Mark 4 or 5 Leupold in 25x or 35x or so. Anybody running one of these high-end Leupold scopes for long range?
