I have the FFP mark 4 6.5x20 with the m5 turrets. Great scope. I know nothing about that nightforce. If you are eligible for military/law enforcement discount then the mark 4 is tough to beat imo

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm going to get in there for the second season and see how it goes this year. Hopefully the snow isn't too deep by then. I'll be in there for first rifle for elk so I should know a little bit more about the area by then too.

Hey guys, I've been an archery hunter for a long while now and I'm going to put in for a rifle hunt this year. I know my unit really well during September and early October but have never been up there past October 10th. It's at higher elevations with several 14ers in it and goes down to around...

I just saw an episode on tv with mcwhorter rifle and they are claiming that their 26nosler necked up to 284 will push 180 gr berger to 3100 + FPS. can this be? That's faster than most all 7mm I know of. And this isn't even a magnum is it?

You're correct on the 1/4 turn probably being too much. I was guessing at this number because I haven't had to set up dies for about a year. Once they're set you're done. It's better to take a lot of time and get this step right. Even if you're turning that die 1/8 or 1/16 turns at a time. Or...

I simply set up my FL die out a ways and slowly screw it in maybe a quarter turn at a time while measuring the case each time. Once I see a change in my measurement I lock it down. I bump them about 1-2 thousand to ensure they'll load while hunting. I bump them every time I reload. I don't see...

My bad. I see my original has 2 typos. I meant DBM

Detachable bottom metal. It allows you to use a detachable magazine.

I've been looking for a BDM for my M77 mark 2 forever. I tried the one from PTG and Mcmillian wouldn't install it cuz the bolt pattern was off by .010 I believe. Sent it back. Now CDI has one. Anyone know about it or have one? Thanks

Most of the 69 grains of H1000 are using 168 grain bullets or less.

Typo is right. Meant 69.3

I agree. These are good numbers and they won't get too much better imho. I shoot a 26 inch barreled custom rifle and I'm using 29.3 gr H1000 pushing 168 gr bergers at 2916 FPS. I didn't show signs of pressure til about 74 grs if I remember right but accuracy dropped off. A lot of guys report 3k...

thats what I'm kind of thinking too. I may put it on a varmint rifle tho. the Tmoa looks like the TMR to me but I cant find any subtensions on it. I love my TMR so if its the same I'm going that route.

I know this is old but I'm wondering who had the TMOA or the ts32x1 reticle. I'm thinking of putting one in my vx3 6.5x20. Thoughts?

Chad has a very unique and awesome set up. That is not the norm by any means. I got in the snipers hide group buy and was more then impressed. Can't beat his speed and cost. He's still running the group buy prices too. I'd definitely check him out
