I have a Tikka T3 tactical, nothing has been done to it. Consistently shoots less than 1/2 inch groups at 100 with reloads. Fun to shoot, one of my favoritesgun)

Got a question for the experts. I am going to do a competition ( some may have heard of it ) where physical endurance and accuracy are both tested. Targets will be from 500-1200 yards. Due to the need to run 7 miles with my rifle, the Winchester Laredo LRH 300WM that I have set up for long...

I have the triangle barrel VTR in .308. Was wondering if anyone knows if a hogue overmolded stock will work for this rifle. Will I need the bull barrel stock? Thanks

The rifle is a Winchester Laredo, which was only made for a few years on the 1990's I believe. I bought it a few years ago on gunbroker and have just had it in the safe til recently. I mounted up the Burris rings today, and while I was at it, I first switched the Warne rings I had on there...

Took it in today to a shop that specializes in long range shooting. They put a laser on it, did a few other things and were convinced it was something during the manufacturing process of either the action or the barrel or the attaching of the two. Their suggestion was to buy a set of Burris...

Bruce, now you have me second guessing myself. I started with the scope close to bottomed out when I went to zero at 100. I was hitting in the dirt 5 yards in front of the target. I kept twisting it in the direction of the up arrow on the elevation turret until I zeroed at 100. Now, zeroed at...

Thanks for your replies. I checked the full travel of the adjustment on the scope and from bottom to top it does 5 full revolutions plus 3.5 MOA, so with 12 MOA per turn, I believe that shows 63.5 MOA of travel. The 20 MOA base is a Weaver, here is a photo of the set up. Just looking at it...

I thought I had everything all figured out, then went out to sight in and now have a problem. I have a Win Laredo 300 WM and put a Viper 6.5-20x50 on it with a 20 MOA base ( mounted with thick end to the rear ) and Warne Maxima 30mm rings. When I sighted it in at 100 yds, I only have 6.75 MOA...

Thanks for that info LB, I just loaded up some with Hornady 180 BTSP and can only get 3.400 to fit into the magazine, infact 3.390 is really needed to pull the next round freely and consistently from the magazine. Guess the magazine limits my options....Thanks Can always load single rounds I guess.

Thanks for the info guys, played with it a little and I am pretty confident it is 1:10 twist. Should I be good to go for 210 Bergers that recommend 1:11 twist? Or Roninflag, did you mean I would be good up to and including the 210's? Don't want to drop the $ on the 210's if they are known to...

How would I go about finding out what twist a Win Laredo 300 WM has? I have been burning up Google and found one chat room that mentioned a 1:10 twist, but how would I be sure? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Sold the Sendero for $1150 on Gunbroker! Now to scope the Laredo. Looking toward the Vortex Viper in 6-20 mildot or Nikon Monarch. Never had a Vortex, but have been happy with the Monarchs I have. Any other stand out options in the sbu $600 price range? Gonna plow through old threads for...

Just bought the Win 70 Extreme Sporter at our local Sportsmans. Have the old push feed laminated coyote in 270 wsm and it is a little to heavy to carry in the field. I love this caliber, actually my favorite. Gonna top it with a Nikon Monarch 4.5-16x42 mildot put it in use for muleys and...

Thanks for the advice. Will give them the a side by side shoot off, and see how it goes. I am a big Winchester fan, and may lean that way. Thanks again

I have been toying with the idea of putting together a long range setup for several years. Went out shooting a few days ago with a friend at 500-1000 yards and now have got the bug for sure. Was able to do pretty well out to 600 with my Remington VTR topped with a Bushnell 3200 5-15 Tactical...
