    270 WSM. vs. 243 Win. for kid

    Is that a recommended rebarrel? I have heard on here that a lot of people prefer an intermediate or long action to do the rebarrel from a standard cartridge to a magnum, even if they are both short actions. Now is that because they can put longer bullets in, or due to the increased pounding of...

    Beginner w/ LR optics. How do they work?

    Yes MPBR is exactly what I am using. I have used this method of shooting for the past 20yrs using standard reticle scopes and MPBR has been a pretty good way of putting meat in the freezer. I just don't trust myself to judge holdover at longer distances for fear of a wounding shot, and so I...

    Beginner w/ LR optics. How do they work?

    Yes definitely, at 200yds I'm right around 3" high and at 300yds I am right around 3" low - It's a 7mmRM - On the BALLISTIC apps, after it gives you the data, what figures are you using to change the scope? Below is a screen shot for the app. Take the red line for instance showing trajectory...

    Budget Build Help - Laminate or not?

    I think he was asking if he should just wait and save for a composite or go with the cheaper laminate now. I've seen laminates crack over time, not the stock but the finish. And they can be hit or miss on being a "drop in" - I'd get a composite. It's not like the factory stock is broken or...

    Beginner w/ LR optics. How do they work?

    Hey thanks Bravo. Yes I own a Leupold with their LR Reticle as well as versions of Nikon's BDC stuff, so I get that part. I guess when I see someone write about their LR rifle, I'm expecting to see a target type scope with adjustable turrets etc instead of the hunting stuff like I own. So thats...

    Remington 700 SPS Varmit 243

    For both yourself and Midwesthunter (who's already shown how well this gun can perform stock) here is a review done on sniper central of a stock SPS Varmint. And they also swapped our the factory stock and picked up 30% increase in accuracy with no other work. This is a solid platform...

    Beginner w/ LR optics. How do they work?

    Hello everyone, thank you for your time. I've been a long-time lurker here, trying to learn as much as possible. Now that I want to start longer range shooting (I've rarely needed to shoot at distances past 300yds). My hunting scopes have always been "set & forget" and I'd use hold-over and...
