    Optics: Im trying to decide whether to keep my Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 3.5-10x40mm Long Range / Tactical M5 Matte Front Focal Reticle, or my Nightforce 5.5 - 22x50 NXS. is a 50 mm bell overkill for this rifle? i also really do like the caps on the Leupold but they came with it.

    Rifle Scopes Keep the vortex, or grab a millett?

    I purchaced a vortex 6.5-20x44 the other dayfor my .308 elr endeavors, because it seemed like a good value. No real complaints here. I did a quick sight in to see how much adjustment I had left, and now am looking for a canted base. This scope only has 64ish minutes of max internal adjustment...

    Well I looked all over the net for this but couldn't find it so I decided to be the first! So, I've only attempted at 100yds so far... But the poi of both loads is the same at that range. I have the drop chart taped to my stock (of each load, FGMM 168 and 175) out to 900 yds. At 900, the poi...

    I am out of good ammo, anyone know where I can find some .308 168 or 175gr

    I have a GAP .308 which will not take any old ammo, so I am looking for some good quality ammo, properly sized, at a non-gouger price. Sadly I cannot reload at this time. I am ordering from SouthWest both new and reloads but wanted to try some other makes as I decide what this rifle likes...
