    Vortex Viper HS 1/2 adjustments.....too much??

    One other thing. Not to sound like I'm a Weatherby rep., but on the same day my 14 year old bought his Vanguard and scope, my 16 year old son bought a new Xbolt in '06 and topped it with a 3-9 Conquest. Same barrel break in, same SST load in '06 and that S2 vanguard shot circles around it! Could...

    Vortex Viper HS 1/2 adjustments.....too much??

    Sometimes it pays to just "lurk" like i've been doing throughout this whole thread until now. Quade has been asking the same questions I've had about the Viper HS LR as I want one too. Now I'm sold as well. :D As far as your ring height questions go I may be able to help. I just set up a new...

    Well, lots of options in that weight range then. The agony of the decision and build process is almost the best part! What ever you decide on, treat yourself...you deserve it!

    Well then by all means, a heavy is the right choice. Would be for me if that's the case anyway. :D

    First and foremost thanks for your service. Men and women such as yourself make it possible for us to even HAVE these discussions! THANK YOU!! Technical aspects of setting up a rifle aside, I think you need to first ask yourself what are you going to do THE MOST with your rig? General purpose...

    Browning A-bolt Long Range Hunter info and advice for a new guy.

    Thanks for the advice guys. Yeah, I'm not finding much on the new Browning as far as info., bummer. If it shoots as good, or better, than any of the past, or the current A-Bolt I have now I may just order one sight unseen if I can find one. I saw one, well actually three, listed on GunsAmerica...

    Browning A-bolt Long Range Hunter info and advice for a new guy.

    Well, I wouldn't say I own one of EVERYTHNG...as much as I'd like to be able to, but over the years I've owned A LOT of everything out there brand-wise anyway. I used to be a true member of the rifle of the month club. Now, I've got my favorites in the safe, but my kids are all getting older and...

    Browning A-bolt Long Range Hunter info and advice for a new guy.

    Holy Crap! I found someone I can relate to right off the bat! :D I totally appreciate a man who doesn't pull any punches and gives me the opinion I asked for. Thanks man! Well, since you said first, yeah, I agree with you about Savages. I own three, they shoot better than almost any other...

    Browning A-bolt Long Range Hunter info and advice for a new guy.

    Gotcha', lesson learned. Won't happen again. LOL. Soooo, got an opinion on the 111 LRH? I've read mostly good, but some surprisingly bad remarks. That's actually the rifle my son is liking.

    Browning A-bolt Long Range Hunter info and advice for a new guy.

    Thanks for your input. I have an A-bolt already, so I'm famiar with the action. I like it, always have. I've have and have owned lots of Savages and Remingtons, so no surprises for me there. I, personally, probably won't be tricking the new LR rig out all that much, but my son will I'm sure, so...

    Browning A-bolt Long Range Hunter info and advice for a new guy.

    Hello everyone, Im new here as you can see. I am wanting to set up, well, actually two LR guns this year. One for dad and one for my 14 year old son. :D Im not in any way new to the rifle scene, but am fairly naive to the dedicated, LR rifle concept. I just stumbled across the new, Browning...
