    Rifle Scopes Zeiss HT or Diavari

    If she is on an AR-15, the ACOG I have works extremely well. I get some trash talk about spending that much on a 4X scope from an old name but, it simply works extremely well. Wide field of view, easy eyebox, and great optics. Personally, in a traditional scope, look for an AO model.

    What is the story of Unfilmed L3 versus Elbit in White Phosphor today?

    I am thinking mostly of recoil resistance in high spec tubes in a dedicated scope or in a PVS-14. I am actually looking at an M-27 MUNS with an older spec Green tube but, a PVS-14 might work in my situation and give me some versatility. TIA, Sid

    Bergara B14 HMR or something else?

    For a feral hog herd, the 6.8SPC AR-15 normally is the preferred option. For situations with a solitary hog or two, a bolt action should be fine as well. I have had large groups on my property which I decimated with the AR-15 and 6.8SPC. These days, I'm not the only one shooting so, numbers...

    Thanks! Great post.

    Bergara B14 HMR or something else?

    I am debating a Bergara B14 HMR in 6.5CM for longer range target work and shooting feral hogs out to ~200 yards. Is there a better rifle for similar money? What sort of accuracy am I looking at for farther shots at 400 yards or more? Regarding the feral hogs, I get good results with a 16"...

    Short barrel cartridges

    About like buying some 257 Weatherby ammunition too! I saw a box once a bit under $70 so, technically a bit cheaper.

    375 Cheytac rifles today? Or something else.

    Those Tubb big XC cartridges are new to me and look promising. It looks like the cost isn't much more than a 338LM so, that certainly puts it within reach of a much larger group of potential users. I guess I should re-evaluate a 300WM/300Norma against 33XC for an initial step into this sort of...

    375 Cheytac rifles today? Or something else.

    A simple Google search shows reasonable availability of 375 Swiss P ammunition at less than $5/round at my door too!

    375 Cheytac rifles today? Or something else.

    Looks like that 375 Swiss P rebated rim cartridge might work in my 30-378 Weatherby rifle as a "cheap" donor to start. Feeding would likely take some work though if I don't load one at a time.

    375 Cheytac rifles today? Or something else.

    Thanks! A 300WM would be a lot cheaper and would still be a pretty good thumper. 6.5 calibers don't provide much 'splash' to spot wind and get on target but, might be viable for a general training rifle on the cheap, for ammo costs. I should note I have an old Weatherby 30-378 that really...

    375 Cheytac rifles today? Or something else.

    I know the 416 Barrett has been around a long time but, back when I looked at it, it seemed like a "Ban Beater" for those that couldn't get a 50BMG version. These days, things like the 375 Swiss P round seems promising.

    Short barrel cartridges

    Any of the new "wonder magnums" will do deer at 300 yards with authority assuming a good bullet and above average hearing protection. You obviously like the 30-06 so, I would say a 35 Whelen in an 18" barrel would be a real sweet spot for you. Personally, I like the 338/06 a bit better but...

    375 Cheytac rifles today? Or something else.

    I am wondering about the new Sako TRG 62 and similar rifles in 375 Cheytac versus something potentially in the 338 class like the 338 Norma or that new Swiss round. I run a 300WM now so, my next option is something larger for >1,000 yards that won't kick like a mule every time I shoot it. I...

    What is the state of LMT MWS-H complete uppers these days?

    5.56 for me and my friend who was a competitive shooter in the military was a waste of time. Sure, there are guys out there with "golden BB's" that take big feral hogs but, that isn't realistic for most people and most situations. The newer AR-15 hotrods are probably pretty good for most...
