Sorry it has taken so long to get back with you all. The scope is simply amazing! Crystal clear, it tracks like a Swiss watch, and I am a huge fan of the open center cross hair. Thank you all for the nice words and since my last post I have since had a chance to get this rifle out at some...

I am using H1000 powder in federal once fired brass with CCI large rifle primers. I am seated .010 off the lands so they are long. All my load testing was carefully worked up and I do not recommend starting with out careful load development. Now that is out of the way (lol)! I found that I have...

I got the stock from XLR industries. It is the tactical evolution stock with a few upgrades. Ambidextrous cheek piece, monopod rail, pic rail and upgraded shelf grip. It ran around $850 I think and the nonupgraded stock was $790. It is undoubtedly the highest quality piece of machinery I have...

I considered the two long and hard and finally decided on the 280 straight up. I will only speak to what I know. I have a 30 inch barrel 1 in 8 twist for the heavies, in 280 rem on a savage action. I did some load testing today with the 162 AMAX. I am using H1000 powder, seated 10 thousandths...

I hope this pic is easier to see.

This is my first post to any discussion board EVER...so I hope I am doing it right. I recently finished my build that has been a year in the making and it sounds like choosing your gun/caliber/bullet has created more questions than answers (much like it did me). I am not a pro and by no means an...
