    Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 Target model Q's

    Does anyone have any experience or good information concerning this scope? It'll go on a Heavy .308win in a A-5 Tactical. I trust Conquests for typical hunting rifles, but have never twisted 'em up and down enough to be confident in their long range abilities. 6.5-20x50 side parallax...

    How do I find a good Gunsmith?

    I've talked to Chris at Longshot Rifles. I know he has a great reputation. Only problem, he's 6 months behind. I know that's a good sign but it doesn't help my situation.

    Help with choosing a first long range rifle ?

    I'm left-handed. I've been studying on building a custom LR rifle for a long time now. After reading many many threads on multiple websites, I'm going to take some 'good' advice given to countless newbies. 308 win. I have 2 options best I can tell. A Rem 700 SPS Varmint or VS rifle and a Savage...

    How do I find a good Gunsmith?

    There are listings everywhere you go, how do you know which ones are worth their salt? I'm looking for one that specializes in long range guns. Any suggestions?

    Stock Fill Weight...How do you choose?

    Figure a Stiller magnum length action (7STW), McMillan HTG stock, and #5 or #6 fluted SS at 26-27". Standard, Tactical, or Sniper fill. How do you determine which fill for a good rifle balance? I want it to be right but not just extra weight to carry around.

    1st Rifle Build...Help with details please.

    As for a round count, that's hard to say. Once I get a good load figured out, maybe 250 rounds a year. Are you aware of any other lefties on this site? Lefty actions besides Stiller? Just like to know what my options are. Is the predator a good long range action? Should I use the TAC...

    1st Rifle Build...Help with details please.

    When you say the fast 7's are much harder on barrels, what kind of round count are we talkin' about? If the 7's will give 1000 - 1500 at best, where will the big .30's come in? 300WM for eaxample. I will also use this rifle for lightweight TSX's and NBT's for lazerbeam deer killin' inside...

    1st Rifle Build...Help with details please.

    Thanks for the information guys. AJ...I get the feeling your a .30 cal fan. I've come to realize, from personal experiences, that a .284 can run with a .30 with less recoil. Now that I've said that, I have no experience past 500 yards. Does the larger caliber have any advantages father out...

    1st Rifle Build...Help with details please.

    I was referred to this site by a fellow on a different site I have been on for years. I've struggled trying to gather (user) info on long range rifle details, not bench guns. I'm looking to build a full custom long range hunting rifle that performs like a bench gun, relatively speaking. Have...

    1st Rifle Build...Help with details please.

    I was referred to this site by a fellow shooter. He said ya'll knew your business, from what I've read over the past several weeks I must agree. My usual shooting website don't really 'agree', for a lack of better terms, with long range hunting tactics. I'm confused about what I need to build a...
