    Remember you built that rifle back when the 28 Nosler was a wildcat!

    Are people liking the Strike Eagle 3-18

    My buddy has a Venom 5-25x56 and side by side with my SE, it's the same glass. Only difference is illumination and locking turrets. Another good, budget scope if you don't need/want an illuminated reticle.

    Are people liking the Strike Eagle 3-18

    Yes, Vortex ran a limited distribution of the first gen Strike Eagles with SFP. I've been looking for either the 3-18 or 4-24 to give to my father-in-law for his PA deer rifle. SFP Strike Eagles I have a 5-25x56 Strike Eagle on my 308 and it works well. Turrets are nice and solid for the...

    SURPRISE IN BOX OF NEW BULLETS

    So the entire box was 130s instead of 140s? I have had a few boxes that had a single bullet that was the wrong weight or caliber but not the entire box mislabeled. That could be bad.

    Ingenuity Precision dispenser

    A couple of years ago I ordered mine and it took about 8 months for me to receive it. Well worth the wait. My powder charges with the V3 are on the money every time. Let him know what discs you want as well as they are unavailable at times.

    There’s something about a .308 Win and 168 SMKs

    I have a Rem 700 in .308 that will shoot the Fed Match 168 ammo into single holes at 100. I've used it in matches out to 800 yards with no issues. I can get handloads going a little faster with 1/2" groups also. I'm currently shooting the 175 SMKs but the 168s are one of those magical...

    SOLD/EXPIRED Redding 338 RUM dies

    I have a full length, Type S neck and seating die for a 338 RUM. I sent all of them to Redding to get checked out. They replaced the full length die body and the seating stem with new parts and polished all die internals. When I received them, I threw them in the ultrasonic cleaner and then...

    Any recent preferred barrel blanks reports?

    Has anyone purchased a contoured CF blank from them and had a GS install it? How about the different carbon options? I'm curious what the nickel plated or 50/50 carbon looks like. I've been looking at them for about a year but hesitant to pull the trigger on one. TIA

    Might join the PRS / NRL22 group. Need help

    Lots of good advice so far. Biggest 3 tips I can give you are: 1-Just get out there and do it! You don't need a fancy rifle. I waited way too long to get into PRS thinking I had to have the latest and greatest or the right cartridge, blah, blah, blah. I used an old Rem 700 varmint in .308...
