I didn't think to contact them. Did they get it fixed for you pretty quickly? Thank you for replying. I was seriously impressed with it until it had that stuff show up.

I purchased the 4-14x44 mil-mil midway scope afterall. It was extremely clear and it felt well built. Reticle was really nice and the turrets were great. Got it sighted in after 3 shots at 100 and it held great. Fast forward after 1 day of hunting/being on the atv and there are chips of...

Lol, that's the truth. I'm coming from a FFP scope that has been faithful for 10 years. Last year I started having issues with glare at certain sun positions (totaled about 20 minutes where it was un-usable) and in the dawn/dusk period the image is gray-washed..... The issue seems to have...

Also how is the glare with it? What about dusk/dawn vision? Thanks for the help!

Wow, that is a heck of a deal on that scope. I've followed it and the PA scope in the past for a bench 223 rifle. Are the turrets large enough that they'll get caught on stuff and do they capture a lot of dust? The dirt where I'm at is like powder. Thank you for the suggestion. It's my...

Long story short...I have about 8 hunts left this season and my scope is having issues that are beyond repair. I work full time, I'm in grad school full time, and have an active family of 6..so time/$ right now is pretty tight....especially since Christmas is around the corner. I'm looking...

Hey guys, I am having an issue with some 223 reloads in a Savage model 10. The reloads are set to spec per OAL, and all measurements I can measure are in spec...however, on closing the bolt with a dummy round there is a lot of resistance. At first I saw rifling marks on the bullet, it...

Just giving a quick update. I found the bolt in the grip was a little loose and it'd cause the gun to rock when fired. I fixed that and used plastic washers to free float the forend. Put 20 rounds down the tube today. POI was 4" high and 2" to the left on my initial groups. Best I was...

I can't remember the name of the device but it's basically a soft padded "y" that adjusts for elevation. For the rear grip I had a sandbag to support it on sight. I was concerned as well. I checked the scope mounts etc. The fact that it was consistent really bothered me.

Unfortunately I don't have access to a lot of rifle powders so my options are limited, still having supply issues here. I have H4350 and 4064 right now. I had only shot the two lengths thus far. Whatever is factory from hornady and .02 off the lands. I'll look into the forend issue for sure...

Hey guys. Have a MGM 6.5 Creedmoor with a 1:9 twist. Barrel is 15" long. I have a burris 3-12x LER topping it off. With factory 120 A-Max I was averaging 2-3" groups. I started reloading and am doing 120 Nosler Spitzers with 4064 at various grains and the best I was able to get was 2". I...

It might be a decent setup as is. I need to give it a shot, literally. The factory stock is so flimsy it touches the barrel easily. In a new stock it'd look funny with the factory barrel in a heavy barrel channel. There again it's the choate with aluminum bedding block. I already have a...

Stock trim on this one is 1:9.25 twist I think so it wouldn't be suitable for anything much bigger than 100 grain I dont think. It also has the underside bolt release which apparently limits my stock choice(Choate seems to be the only one) I've read some very positive things about 243...

The farmer's land may actually be a working idea. Lots of that here in south texas. So there's some hope still, lol. You guys should be motivational speakers. I've been burned before buying used firearms that I couldn't handle before purchase so I'd prefer to buy local, build, or buy new...

Lol. I hear ya. Im just wondering if ill get a chance to use it much. Id like a pig/coyote gun for 600 yards, but paper punch capable to 1k. Thatd be awesome and I see those types of shots pretty often. I also dont know where to start caliber wise either. I know what id use for a bench...
