    Out of the Box: Best Long Range Target Rifle/Caliber/Ammo Combo?

    6.5mm Shootout: .260 Remington vs. 6.5x47 Lapua vs. 6.5 Creedmoor Here is some info I just looked up. Hey! I'm not trying to put down the Creedmoor. It's great to, but Ammo is so easily available for the 260. In this video (must be older) they form brass. Since Lapua, nosler and norma all...

    Out of the Box: Best Long Range Target Rifle/Caliber/Ammo Combo?

    You are right. On page one the op said he was looking for a 2k to 3k rifle. He was also looking for .5 or under moa. I realize this is at the top of the price range but fits the bill. Unless he changed his price range later. I only read the first 6 pages.

    Out of the Box: Best Long Range Target Rifle/Caliber/Ammo Combo?

    I read the first 6 pages and skipped to the last 2. I guess you settled on the 6.5 Cr. I'm a bit surprised. Not that you chose a 6.5. That's the best range calibre in my opinion. Low recoil, doesn't heat the barrel as fast, Highest BC, just a great caliber. Not to mention it keeps winning long...

    New Caliber

    I figure if a practical 6.5 could be made larger, faster, flatter, and reliable Weatherby would have done it. They love to super charge everything but they left this one alone. I will wait to see real world results before I get one. OH, and trust me. If it proves up I do want one. I am a 6.5...

    Bushnell DOA 600 drop chart

    You misunderstand. Sorry, I am not always clear. I am actually looking for how many inches Bushnell has each cross check on the 600 reticle at the 6 specified yardages. 100 yrds is 0 200 yrds = ?drop 300 yrd = ?drop etc. I have a .257 Wby and I reload a bit hotter than factory so the scope...

    NF vs. Huskemaw opinions wanted

    I've read the replies so I don't have a lot to add. The Nightforce does have the attention of several law and military divisions. That doesn't necessarily mean it is better but does guarantee it has undergone extreme professional scrutiny. If Huskemaw has same it has slipped by me. I would like...

    Bushnell DOA 600 drop chart

    I have the 4.5-30x50 DOA 600 on my 257 Wby. Does anyone know the actual drops for each 100 yrd increment? It would help me to figure out what zero works best and how off each reticle line will be. Thanks

    260 Rem Vs. 6.5-06

    I have no experience with the 06 but I love the .260 Rem. I shoot an HS Precision 260 Rem. It's my go to rifle for popping gophers, yotes, paper, and Mule deer. I prefer .257 1/4 bore for white tail. Have some info I'd like to share. .260 Match Ammo Comparison Test Notice the 1000 meter...

    Spotting scope - angled or straight?

    I voted angled cause I have a Bushnell angled and I have never used anything else

    Reloaded for first time

    Emphasis on the be thorough part. I made the mistake on several occasion of letting my wife know I was dreaming of something and she being the sweet thing she is got me one. For instance I wanted to replace a single power scope on my 20 yr old rifle with an awesome new scope and she got me a...

    Reloaded for first time

    I'll bet your wife is regretting that gift LOL. I bought a Lyman turret press and basics several yrs ago and have since replaced everything but the press. I like reloading more than shooting. Heck I reload for my buddies just for the fun of it. It can get costly if you get the bug. Now I;m even...

    Model 48 Nosler Custom Sporter

    Does anyone have any hands on experience with this gun? I'm interested in buying one but hate going it blind. I would like a custom quality rifle without building my own and this sounds like an option. Any feed back would be appreciated.
