If you also shoot archery, John Dudley has a great pod cast, Nock On Archery. Steve Rinella is excellent. Vortex Nation Podcast.

I have a Vortex Razor HD LH 3-15X42 with the HSR-4 MOA reticle, it sits on my 6.5Cm and has worked flawlessly out to 1000 metres for me. Clicks are solid and audible, glass is excellent, and it is light weight. I am very happy with mine.

Both my son and I have 284s built on long actions, I can seat the 180 Lapua Scenar out so the bottom of the bearing surface meets the neck/shoulder junction perfectly. In my rifle with a 28" barrel I am running a mild load of H4831SC, Lapua brass, CCI BR2 and the aforementioned 180 grain Lapua...

I shot the S2 in 257WBY last week and it was a true pleasure to shoot, was accurate and easy recoiling. Honestly thought the 257WBY was going to kick harder but it was a real ***** cat, smooth bolt throw and the two stage trigger was different than what I am used to but broke nice and clean...

I would be interested in either, actually both. Need to know when and min qty though before I make a firm commitment.

35 Whelen will knock over a moose at greater than 200 yards. I shoot a 358 winchester which is the little brother, and I would have no trouble at all reaching out to 300 yards. My best buddy shoots a 35 Whelen and he has killed literally TONs of game with it at and beyond 200 yards and never...

Custom turrets can be had for most of the Vortex Viper line up as well. Plus like one poster already said, the tracking and repeatability of the Vortex scopes far exceeds any Leopold I have owned.

What do you guys recommend for a bullet and twist rate for long range shooting from a 30-06? LR performance for paper and steel is the only consideration, this rifle will not be used for game animals. A custom reamer will be used to seat long bullets out, and it will be a single shot so...

I have the Near rail on my Tikka T3 Varmint in 6.5 swede. Obviously recoil is not much of an issue, but what I will comment on is two things...1. the fit and finish is excellent, the Tikka action has a hole in the top for a recoil pin, the Near rail has the pin machined right into the bottom of...

Interesting information there. I think I will push the throat out on this rifle to get the extra powder capacity and take advantage of the long action. It will however have to wait for a few weeks as I am in my busy season at work and have very little (really NONE) time for this type of thing...

Okay so here is a question to Bryan...I recently built a 284 winchester on a Stiller long action, my COAL is over SAAMI specs but I don't think I have reached full potential yet because I still have lots of room in the standard mag box, and the boat tail starts well below the neck/shoulder...

I shoot them out of a factory Tikka T3 Varmint in 6.5X55 swede, Lapua brass, H4831SC, Federal 210M. Shoots 1/2 moa or better depending on the driver of course, I like them better than the 139 grain Scenars and at least as well as the 142 Matrix which are (were) my favourite. I also have...

I have used Minwax floor polishing paste for my release agent and it works very well, and I use Devcon for my bedding material. I don't think I would clamp on the scope like that if it were my rifle I was bedding, I like electrical tape or a spare set of action screws for mine.

I have the same action, with the Stiller one piece base. Only way to go.

I have a 284 win and I am building another I like it that much. Build it in a long action and give your self all the room that stout little case has to offer and you can really push the 168s and even the 180 at decent velocities. 1000 is no problem with this case, I wouldn't bother with the...
