    No love for the 300 WSM?

    Too mainstream. Gotta do the WSM for science. WSM with 215s/220s is easy to tune. It's similar to asking why not 6 Creedmoor with 112 Match Burners, when a BR/BRA with 105 Hybrids is easier to load for and get good accuracy. I shoot 130 Hybrids out of my 6.5x47 because they grouped better than...

    Night Vision Vortex Impact 4000 Rifle/Rail mounted Range finder???

    So this has been out for coming up on 2 years now. I've got a pair of Fury HDs that I use for ranging these days, and kind of wonder if having a spotter with a reticle paired with the impact would let me get more precise ranging than the giant glowing donut in the binos, and give me good...

    No love for the 300 WSM?

    RL23 seemed to be the magic powder for it. I've only got 2 lbs of it from my .260 AI days, so I'm looking at other stuff. Seems like H4831SC is what a lot of bench resters are using with 215s. I wanted to use Retumbo, but only found H1000 in stock. I'm not familiar enough with the VV powders to...

    No love for the 300 WSM?

    What powder are you using? My smith is putting together a WSM for me now, we're waiting on a reamer to my desired specs, loading 220 Hybrids to the shoulder junction in a long action Fuzion. With h1000 SAAMI has the bullet seated so far into the case that it's impossible to hit 60k PSI, but if...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    Generally the space between numbers goes down as you go up in magnification, and I don't see anything after 10. I'm guessing it's a 2-10, given current market trends. Possibly a 1.x-10?

    I been watching this all week long debating if I'd like an H59 or not. If it had a JVCR, I'd have snatched it, lol

    Rifle Scopes USO building another MST100 run?

    I still like their USA made stuff. My FDN 25x tracks, is clear, ticks all my boxes, etc. I've been running it for 4 years in PRS now, and the only issue I've had is some grease on a lens. I'd take that over a zero failure (friends' XTR3/XTR Pros, Leupold MK5s, Viper PST II), or turret failures...

    Mammoth Sniper challenge 2 AAR: very late edition

    Are civilians allowed to paticipate in the Fort Chaffee event? I think I saw somewhere that you have to be active duty military to shoot on the base?

    Weights for KRG enclosed forend

    MDTs sit too low. There's not a lot of space between the m-lok and the swell outward

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    I've got a Maverick on my PRS gun and everything short action, and run it braked in competition, and full suppressed when shooting out in the desert on my own. I'd get one for my big .30 I'm building, but Area 419 specifically says it's not rated for magnums, so now I'm strongly considering...

    Rifle Scopes Best optic aroumd 2k with mil discount

    Only MIL/LE are eligible for certain brands/discounts though. Nightforce in particular doesn't offer anything for National Guard, much to my surprise.

    Rifle Scopes Best optic aroumd 2k with mil discount

    I hear this quite a bit - has anyone bought a recent production of the 5-25? I'm curious if they updated something in their glass when they released the 7-35, but everyone's just been buying 7-35s. It wasn't until recently that I started seen 5-25s with modern Mil-XT/Mil-C reticles showing up.

    Rifle Scopes Best optic aroumd 2k with mil discount

    The Theos is like an ATACR without the rotating occular housing. A buddy of mine who swears by Nightforce was actually really impressed with his Theos, and started shooting with it more than his ATACR 7-35. I never thought I'd see the day he'd use anything else.

    Precision Rifle Gear Let’s Talk Bipods

    While the slop in my Ckye-pod has never translated to bad group sizes, I know what you mean. They've always felt rickety. I've had to tighten screws a few times. I wish they'd just kill the panning system. I think it's over engineered, and wayyyyyy overpriced. If I lost my Ckye-pod, I'd be...

    What specifically put the ZP5 leaps and bounds over the rest? Eyebox? Lack of aberration? Colors? Each of those listed manufacturer's top scopes are better at some things and worse at others than each other.

    2025 Nightforce elr steel challenge & Krg extreme

    I mean, it's one of the most well known matches. Accommodating 300 shooters and keeping them happy sounds like hell. If I were them, I'd split it into two matches. But at the end of the day, it's not a lot of work to whine, and it's a crap ton of work to run a match. Back on topic - when does...
