it would be wise to pay attention to the guys recommending 338 and up rifle calibers. trajectory won't mean anything when you run into a big heavy angry griz, possibly with cubs. Pick one in an accurate rifle and practice, practice, practice. shot placement is key . Especially under pressure...

I appreciate the input fellas. I've always had good results with Hornady 168 match bullets in .308 win. and 30-06. I have a savage 11 fcns in 300 wsm and have had great results at 100 yds. Obviously it pushes the bullet much faster than a .308win. I'm going to try 178 match and possibly...

What's wrong with .308 168gr. bullets? Tres Monceret wrote an article about reloading for long range shooting. In the 2nd article he made the comment about .308 168gr bullets being not worth the time and money to load. He never explained why. I'm curious why he says that...

Been shooting my 300 WSM with good results. Factory 150 gr. were grouping just under moa. First try with reloads using 168gr. Hornady match, with IMR4350 had three rounds touching at 100 yds. Wanted more speed, so I used Re17 with the same bullet and shot the same. Bumped up the load to near max...

LOL!!! actually I did ,but not recently.lol! I bought a Weaver Classic extreme. I know it will give some of you guys headaches, but I couldn't beat the price. Figured I'd try it and if it didn't work for my 300wsm Id put it on my .223 since anything would be better than the tasco I have now...

Thank you, I appreciate your input. Any thoughts on weaver extreme scopes ?? Unapologetically AMERICAN gun)

Anyone had any experience with Weaver tactical or extreme rifle scopes??? How is the glass, tracking warranty etc....?? Unapologetically AMERICANgun)

Nice! I'm still trying to decide what scope I want. Leaning toward Leupold. Was thinking about a straight picatinney or weaver style rail mount, I'm not sure there is an advantage over say Leupolds standard one piece mount. Just thinking that a one piece mount/base would add more rigidity to the...

Hey zdr, I'm curious myself. Where are the other threads?? Also curious about the glass in Vortex HS vs Leupold vx-2??? Unapologetically AMERICAN gun)

Thanks Z, I was on the site but didn't read that section. Appreciate your help! Still not sure which way I will go..

Thanks!! appreciate the input. Nothing against NF or Votex, just like Leupold as I have several and want to stick with USA made if possible. Unapologetically AMERICAN gun)

Thanks Brewer, is that true for Leupold ?? They still advertise all-American made. Unapologetically AMERICAN gun)

Just curious, is Nightforce glass made in the USA?? From what I was able to find out, Votex glass is made in Asia. Though I believe Vortex is assembled in Wi. Anyone know anything about this?? Just would like to stick with USA.. Unapologetically AMERICANgun)
