    Rifle Scopes Need some advice: T5Xi and XRS II

    Looking at the Steiner T5Xi 5-25 and Burris Tactical Elite 4.5-30 XRS-II for my first custom build. Will use in comps and just ringing steel for fun. Are they fairly equal in quality and clarity or is one clearly superior?

    FC 71 and 308 Win FC: Same thing?

    Was reloading some .308 brass that I thought was all stamped "308 Win FC". Ran across a few with "FC 71". I am normally pretty good with brass management, so not sure how they got into the mix. In any case, I read that "FC 71" is Lake City and have heard that it's comparable to FGMM and may be...

A brief description of the class: This course is designed for the long-range rifleman focusing on engagement distances...

    6/6.5 with largest selection of powder options?

    I currently run a .260, but want to build another rifle. I know I want a 6 or 6.5, but don't really care which. Of course, the number of choices is large, so I created a list of requirements to eliminate the choices. Fire-form = no, good case life = yes, small/large primer = don't care, blah...

    77gr & RE-15

    Is 23.0gr of RE-15 behind 77gr SMK a safe load? Can I go a little hotter? Going to be sending it through a 1:9, 24" barrel. Also, what depth should I seat? I have Varget too, but I got a shit-ton of RE-15.

    700 vs Savage 10

    I am not sure it would be easier, but you'd certainly get the gun you want that way. Either way, finding a lefty is difficult. At least for Savage cause I've tried. In the end, I've just settled to shoot a right hand bolt as a lefty. Works pretty dang good for me and all the Savages I've...

    ""Best"" "other" caliber for .308 AT rifle?

    Another vote for .260. I have the AT wit both .308 and .260 barrels. I was already set up to load for .260, so it was a no brainer.

    Official Accuracy International AT First Look

    Got my AT on Wednesday and have the .308 & .260 barrels for it. Last night I mounted a NF scope and put the bipod on and just sat a looked at it for awhile. Finally got behind her, adjusted the cheek piece and tested the 2-stage trigger... As a Savage shooter, I couldn't really understand the...

    Would it be ok to shoot as a single-shot without the baffle change?
