Best (meaning furtherest range) commercially available (meaning not inclusive of the Vectronix units) monocular on the market. Always outperforms my Geovids by a huge margin. Waiting for the new Swaro Laser binoculars but I'll probably get a Vectronix and call it good.

Guys, I just found this new iPhone app called Theodolite. Spend $4 and buy the pro edition. It's a compass, horizon, azimuth, map, satellite view, GPS and best of all a milradian rangefinder and it takes pictures too. This is really trick. Want to know your position and azimuth for...

Swaro LRF Leica Geovid Kestral 4500 iPhone - Ballistic FTE, Topo Maps, Gaia GPS, MotionX GPS, Google Earth, Weather Bug iPad - (same as iPhone) mounted in RAM mount on my Polaris Ranger. Best outdoor GPS ever for off road vehicles. GMRS radios (required on our hunting lease for safety)...

Sorry, I was thinking of a barrel swap. To keep the existing barrel, the only real choice is something in the same caliber - 300 RUM. If the barrel is much less than 26" you would just be wasting powder though. Many factory 300 Win Mag rifles come with 24" barrels which won't let all the...

I'm a fan of keeping it simple, shootable and inexpensive. The choices are .338 WM or RUM, .300 WM or RUM, 7mm RM or STW. All the .338 stuff will increase your recoil substantially as well as the cost per shot. This usually results in less practice and less fun. The 300 RUM can outrun the WM...

Whew - this thread is a brain strain that I messed with for years. I feel like I've had every single question and frustration raised here (except I never went down the complicated math stuff). I spent almost a decade trying to use Exbal on a Palm Pilot with a Kestral 3500 to predict my long...

One more question - did you zero at 100 and input 100 as your zero range? My calcs above used a zero at 100.

Wile, Don't know what your calcs were but here's what my calculator gave me. Berger 7mm / 168 / G7 BC = .316 / 3030 fps / sight height 2" DA=1000, 300yds=2.9moa, 400yds=5.0moa, 500yds=7.4moa, coriolis off DA=2000, 300yds=2.9moa, 400yds=5.0moa, 500yds=7.3moa, coriolis off DA=3000...

Hey Wile, During the load dev and testing of the one mile rifle we built for NTRP, we used a beta and a CED to test loads. With the exact same load, the Beta gave us around 3175 fps and the CED gave us around 3000. Both units were set up at the same bench at the exact same distance. All...

The only guy at the match shooting a Thoroughbred besides the 300 RUM was myself. And I only shot the stages on Saturday so that I could help spot along with Chad for the one mile stage on Sunday morning. The Thoroughbred Action is a combination of what I think are the best features of...

Sorry, I just can't resist to post the sage advice of a wise old TX commercial real estate guy: "You don't always get what you pay for But you never get what you don't pay for" I'm a competitor of Gunwerks and I can assure you that their $6500 package is one of the best "VALUES" in our...

i recently decided to break out a 300 AAC reamer I have had for a while and never used along with a Krieger 8 twist barrel. I initially set the rig up with a 20" barrel. After a couple of trips to the range and some general handling in the back yard, I decided that I didn't like this much...

Way cool. I bought 3 of those Sako/MRI sticks back in 1999. Sold two .270s to friends and kept a .280. Changed the HS stock out to a McM sometime later. These were by far the most insanely accurate factory guns I ever owned. Finally sold my 280 and the guy who bought it called me back and...

Adam32, Your welcome. Just curious. Why not a 7 STW?

BB Funny you should mention this. Josh and I made the same comment to each other while we were testing. You could almost change shooters during the bullet flight time (as long as the other shooter wasn't also your spotter - haha). However, we were putting together a tactical competition...
