The scope will arrive tommorow, I will post pics and give my best interpretation of its craftsmanship.

Bushnell 4200 6-24x50 30mm I beleive this to be a new model for 08 maybe they were 07, but I have purchased one on ebay and expect it soon. It has mil dot reticle and tactical style turrets nice scope with fair amount of adjustment for a $500 set up. check it out. Bushnell Outdoor Products

Ty for the input. I am hunting mainly whitetail in Texas but plan to do some elk hunting (location ?)and of course I enjoy practicing at the range. I want to learn the art of long range hunting (out to 1k) and am in the process of accurizing my 7 wsm. I was leaning toward the bushnell and...

I have a few Barnes 130gr (discontinued) I want to load up. But also want any advice for this cartridge as it has been very particular so far. Best results yet are the 150gr Accubond and 67.5gr of H4831. Thank you, Stoney

These are two bigginer scopes that I am considering mounting on a 7mm WSM. Any advice on their performance? I have researched the Falcon with little info found. The guys on the snipercentral were helpful but it was the only in depth review I have found. The elite 3200 in fixed 10 power...

Leupold Vari X III 2.8-8x32 I will trade if interested, glass has no scratches and will send pics if you like. Thanks, Stoney

Thanks, guys. I hope to get the rifle together over the Christmas Holiday. I will post some pics of it when it is ready. Hope to get in some hunting too. I actually need two scopes so I may try the Menace and vxIII. All depends on the bonuses this year. If so I will give feedback on it.

I agree with you “B”. I am certain that the scope will out last the rifle, as the 7 wsm has been somewhat of a disappointment. I may sell the rifle later, from what I’ve gathered its popularity is just shy of non-existent and brass may become scarce. That said I don’t mind paying for a scope...

This question was asked about 6 months ago and the question of “which scope is good” never seems to rests. I am considering the 4.5x18x56 Menace by Falcon Optics. They gave high reviews on Sniper Central but they also sell the scope too, anyone know anything about these that might not be...

Next Step I have moved forward with the project. I was told that as long as the stock has been kept in an air conditioned climate it was good to go. I will try to pose some pics as I progress with it. I used a wood hardener to seal the stock as a base coat and will follow up with tung oil. I am...

I have worked my tail off on a this thumbhole stock and it's ready for sealing and finishing. My question is, being in north central texas the humidity is usually high, how does one know when it is the opportune time to stabilize the stock (ie is the stock dry enough to seal), or does it...

Richards Microfit Tacticle T-hole walnut. Less than 300 but you have to finish and bed yourself or have it done. I plan to do it myself for ***** and giggles. What is the gun oil used for when cleaning the excess epoxy? I have the 2# spring in the 7wsm and it's worth more than what it cost, a...

I appreciate all the input. I have a new stock on order b/c I want a nice t.hole, the factory one is in good condition and I will sale whent the time comes. I am going to try my hand a glass bedding. I like a challenge and expanding my knowledge. Once the stock is bedded I will see how the...

jeffbird, those are impressive results. I am going customize my browning to see if I can hone my skills to match what you guys are doing. JDJones above mentioned 28-30in barrel 8:1, jeffbird has a 24in 9:1. I hate to start barrel a debate but the various data makes me. Shilen is local for me...

As many of you know there are many different hunting situations one could encounter in TX. Very long scendaro shots, open plains, and short 100s in the woods. I think that the inaccuracy was due to first gen wsm's the rifle has a 9 twist and I notice they are producing 9.5 now. Don't know how...
