    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 5-22, ranging at 11 power

    Any suggestions on how to hold for wind with the NP-R2 5-22 scope when the power is set down to 12x? With the hash marks at approximately 10 MOA, holding over for a fraction of that will be tough. Isn't 10 MOA about 100 inches at 1000 yards? I'll probably try to figure out the hold over based...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 5-22, ranging at 11 power

    Does anyone know the subtension of the hash marks for the NP-R2 reticle at 11 power? At 22 power the subension for the vertical hashes are 2 MOA. According to something I found, the subension at 10x to 15x is 1.5 times that of 22. So I guess at 10x to 15x, the vertical hashes represent 3 MOA...

    Berger 140 VLD question

    Thanks for the quick response SA. I looked at the Berger site and found they have 3 140 VLD bullets. It appears the one that has the best BC is the Match Hybrid Target with a .618 BC. Surprisingly, the Match Long Range BT Target has the worse BC with .592. I think the Long Range BT gives you...

    Berger 140 VLD question

    I'm building a 6.5 Creedmoor and I'm looking for a good starting point for load development. I'll be shooting out to 1000+ in tactical competitions. My barrel is a SS Criterion, 26" 1:8 twist, varmint contour barrel. It seems that the Berger 140 VLD is a good starting point for a long range...

    Savage Axis/Edge 10 Round High Capacity Magazine..

    Hi Rookie, Thanks for your response. Were all the modifications done to the mag or did you have to do anything to the gun? Is your FCP like my 10 FCP K? My gun is chambered in 308 also. Thanks again, Eric

    Re: New 6.5 x 47 Tactical Gun Build, where to spend $ Thanks for all the great responses. Some asked a little about my shooting experience to better respond to my questions. I started shooting last year. I bought a Savage 10 FCP K in 308 and put a Millet TRS - 1 scope on it. I also...

    New 6.5 x 47 Tactical Gun Build, where to spend $

    I plan to build a 6.5 x 47 tactical gun. I don’t have unlimited pockets so I want to make sure I spend my hard earned cash on the parts that make a difference. Oh, I would like the gun to hold sub ½ MOA while shooting 100+ rounds a day. Stock, McMillan A5. Trigger, Jewel. Action, not sure...
