Nate Haler--do you have the Sightron for sale? If so, I'm interested, at least in finding out a little more from you about it. What's the best way to do that--email? Thanks, Jim

S1--for applications similar to what nwcook describes plus deer and antelope to 400 yards or so, what would you recommend between the Weaver Grand Slam 6-20 and the Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24 for a 25-06? Do the target turrets on the Elite give it an advantage, or increase it, if it already had one?

Hey, 338--What is the cost of non-resident deer and turkey license in Texas? Any other unavoidable costs involved for a hunt on your place? Also, when does deer season end? Thanks!

Let me second vinny's post. I am strongly considering that very same rifle/caliber combo, in the non-fluted barrel version (I am on a pretty limited budget). I have seen a few comments on various forums about the quality of the Remington factory products these days, so I wonder about the...

Hi Guys: I have been a hunter for a long time, but would like to develop into a "shooter" as well. I am about to get into handloading, and will work to develop and improve my shooting skills. To that end, I have devouring the seemingly endless amount of quality experienced-based information...

Okay, I think I have it. So in a group which has paper between the holes (i.e., not "one ragged hole"), you measure the two holes farthest apart, and still then subtract out the bullet diameter? Thanks, and I appreciate your patience and explanations!

Don't know if a 700 BDL DM in .260 would be what you want, but a guy at the Accuratereloading classified forum has one for sale. His email address is: [email protected] Good luck!

I'm considering buying a used rifle with a Bausch & Lomb Balvar 6-24 scope on it. Have any of you had any experience with this scope? If so, can you tell me are the adjustments dependably repeatable? Are they good scopes? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

PrimeTime: Thanks for the response. Can you tell me then, what does a "drop chart" contain? Would it simply tell you at a given distance, say 400 yards, you turn your scope X number of clicks up? Would that typically be based on sighting in dead on at 100 yards? If so, in my 400 yard...

Hi Nate: I'm posing this question to you, as you had previously posted concerning Sightron scopes. However, if anyone else out there wants to throw in their "two cents worth," you are welcome. I'm new to the long range shooting/hunting arena, and I want to "gear up" with my 7mm Rem Mag. I am...

Hi folks. I've gone off in a slightly different direction since I posted a few weeks ago asking for advice on what caliber rifle to buy, based on using factory ammo. A few things have changed for me since then. First, through a family member, I have available to me a Winchester 70 Classic...

Re: Off Topic: Why can\'t I see Posted Pix?? Ditto for me...

Dave King: Thanks for your reply and insight. I will try to give you a little more info. in case you want to expound even more. I neglected to mention that my .30-06 is a semi-auto (BAR). I like it a lot, but I'm pretty set on getting a bolt action, as obviously, it would be inherently more...

Hi Folks: I'm brand new to this forum; stumbled onto it the other day from a reference on another forum. I have really enjoyed reading much of the info. here. It seems you all have an immense amount of knowledge about long range and flat-shooting calibers, and I hope you don't mind if I try...
