    Weatherby Custom Shop Quality??

    Does anybody have experience with the gunsmith quality of work with the Weatherby Custom Shop? Looks like they will build up a pretty decent rifle on paper with a Krieger barrel on a mark V action that has been trued and etc. I am just wondering if its worth the price...+$4K and if it will be...

    Mark 4 or NF (Need Help)

    He must be a great shot. But that is still not ethical for hunting nor does it set a good example. This could be taken as just killing. Hopefully you don't lose a deer at those ranges. This web site should be called long range killing, because it sure as **** not hunting. Hunting is putting...

    Zeiss Victory FL Riflescopes verses S&B

    Does anybody have any experience with the new Victory FL riflescopes? When are they going to be available? I am liking the concept of the 4-16x50 model with the bullet drop compensation turret. How does the glass compare to S&B? The glass on my 4-16x50 Klassik is absolutely sick, and it...

    What would you do

    I want to swap out my scope on my 22-250 Supervarmit Master. I'm debating between a Leupold Mark 4 in 4.5 -14 or a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14. What has the better glass? I actually have a spare Mark 4 that isn't being used. Just trying to decided if I should try a Zeiss conquest as I have...

    what do you all think?

    What do you guys think of using a 30-378 wby for a brown bear hunt in either Alaska or Russia? Do you think I should step up to a 338 or 375 class caliber or do I have enough horsepower with the 30-378? Thanks in advance

    Christensen Arms ??

    Happy to hear that you've had good luck with the C.R. and factory ammo in terms of accuracy. When I stated a similar comment, I was told that I should go play the lottery. But to each their own and I'm glad it's working out for the best for you as well.

    Scope advice

    I would put the best optics/glass you can afford on it based upon hunting and shooting style and what you want to do with you new rifle. With an open ended question like you just asked, you'll get 10 different answers from probably 10 different people.

    Barnes Response to Berger

    I'm not getting defensive at all. Just making a generalized comment from reading various posts over the years on here, that is all. I'm speaking from a generalized standpoint. There are some rather opinionated people that certain products are all that should be used and if somebody offers a...

    Barnes Response to Berger

    How come when somebody posts something here that is different then than using NSX scopes, Berger Bullets, 338 Edge, and etc, they get crucified on this board? I like Barnes Bullets. They shoot well. Enough Said.

    S&B Classic 4-16x50mm turrets

    Hello, I'm using a S&B classic scope with the standard A8 reticle, strictly for hunting purposes. I'm very happy with the glass (absolutely outstanding), but still getting used to the FFP and the thick reticle. Has anyone modifed their S&B scope using custom aftermarket turrents and if so...

    Christensen Arms ??

    I don't need to play the lottery. I've always had good luck with weatherby ammo...my whole family has...for 30 some years. I wonder why that is. Only reason to re-load with weatherby's is to save costs. That is not really a concern for me right now, but my time is. None of my elk...

    Christensen Arms ??

    I have a custom one in 30-378 It shoots .5 moa all day long with factory ammo. I'm pretty happy with it so far and have no real complaints. Maybe I just have that really shoots. Or maybe it shoots better then I can hold it. An elk is really not going to notice the difference I don't think...

    nightforce clarity

    I wasn't all that impressed with NSX optics. They were really heavy and the glass wasn't much better than VX-III scopes. Maybe I just looked at a lemon as I have heard they have variability in the glass. I compared all of them side by side just awhile back when considering high end scopes...

    Talley Rings and Bases

    What do you guys think about Talley rings and bases? I was looking at their two piece ultralight ring/base combos. They seem to be a pretty good product. Have you guys had any issues with mounting scopes with products from these guys. Any issue with ring trueness and etc? Thanks in...

    Hope I didn't make a mistake

    Really. I was told by the McMillan guys that the outdoorsman rifles wouldn't shoot factory 30-378 ammo and I had to buy ammo direct from them. What gives? I requested more information such as case differences, reloading specs, ammo costs and etc and recieved no reply. Simple questions...I...
