thx gstanfield We live South of Casper

Rumor has it that their "Euro" scopes are Meopta. Does anybody have one?

Yeah I'm figurin' on movin' somewhere with bean fields and necking a .458 Lott down to 6.5. Gonna call it the 666 Texass Barnburner. It should be just the thing for deer the size of dogs.

:D OUTSATANDING! I'm only 7x30 Waters,.380, 9mm Europellet, .38, .357 Mag, .357 Herrett, .44 Mag., .45 ACP, .45 LC, ,223, .275 Rigby, 7mm Rem Mag,.308 Win, .30-06, and .45-70.

Have you tried calling Redfield? 877-798-9686 Their customer support is legendary. I have a couple of old friction adjust Leupolds, they work just fine. I think "infinitely adjustable" means that tweaks of less that what would be a click are possible. Repeatability, i.e. chasing the POA...

I think Nikon's are a lot of glass, for the money. I had previously been stuck on the idea that Leopold and Burris was the place to be on the price performance curve. Recently I put a Team Primos (outdated Monarch) on an 18" .308 and I'm real happy with it. The "Spot On" software would be an...

IMO, I think you'll do better if you get away from ball powder. Try Viht N540 or RE15.

Pick up an Innovative Technologies Belted Magnum Collet Resizing Die. You'll get more loads, with less problems, than you thought possible in a belted magnum. I wish that I had discovered this years ago. I've had really good luck with Reloader 22 behind 175gr boat tails. .

gee, sorry if I offended anybody no....................really :D

I wish I could say I've never had a problem attributable to a loose nut behind the trigger. :) Cold shots are finicky critters indeed, but you shouldn't need sub moa for a 200 yard shot. Follow the directions on a can of Wipe Out, or store it with some Bore Snake Venom in the bore and patch it...

I was tempted to mention Nikon (and Vortex), but I thought the initial replies were going to be that decent and <$500 were oxymorons. :rolleyes: IMHO, if you really want to do routine turret cranking, the only scopes that are consistently (scope to scope) repeatable are Nightforces.

I don't own a 6.5, nor did I peruse all 26 pages of this thread, but I thought it was curious that the Creedmoor was left out of the poll. I like to shoot too much to be very interested in barrel thrashing overbores.

I only own two. :) 20" HBAR and M4gery

Anaconda, or so I'm told. :rolleyes: It's not really as simple as strong enough, or not. Think more about how fast your going to wear it out. End shake, (cylinder play longitudinally) will be one of the first symptoms in a Model 29 fed a steady diet of full tilt .44 Mag loads. S&W makes X...

IMO, H110 burns best in heavy loads. If your loading light, you'll get cleaner burning with Unique or Titegroup.
