I was getting ready to take a Nightforce of one of my customs, then I got to thinking about the problem. I don't think it is a mount or scope issue. Reason being the scope is tracking fine and POI is tracking with the scope. The crazy part is when you pull the bolt out and look down range...

Have a strange on for you guys. A buddy of mine picked up a Savage Model: 10/110 FCP HS Precision in 338 Lapua Mag, with a Nightforce NXS (The Gun and Scope are new). I loaded up some mild loads with the 250gr Berger Hybrids for him to break in the barrel, and get used to the gun. Now when I...

Gotcha I guess I should have looked at that. If you are using a nice firm constant pressure and you are not showing pressure I would recommend going up on the charge in 1/2 gr steps. You should start to see what the gun wants. Most gun's will tune up on few nodes, on the hot side and low...

Those look a lot better, especially the first pic with Retumbo. No vertical, the horizontal I would most likely say is still do to check pressure. Also you can try being behind the gun more, some people like to shoot more from the side. Which is fine for lesser recoiling rifles but something...

It defiantly takes a bit to get figured out. I know when I tune up the bigger cartridges with heavy bullets and no break, I have to really concentrate on my form. I always like to dry fire a few times first. Also when pulling back tight slowly let up pressure and watch your cross hairs, if they...

Not to be calling you out on your shooting technique. Your groups look like you are not using enough shoulder pressure. I also did not notice a break. I do all my load tuning of a bi-pod and rear rest. When stepping up to the larger cases and bullets you have to hold them tight and...

The only time I had a 215 not ignite powder was due to using Hornady's spay lube for FL sizing. I used a small amount and it was not enough, then sprayed more and to further lube the case. Loaded up 5 for testing and 1 did not go off. Long story short no more One Shot for me. Maybe the last...

Nice pic. What is the conciseness on soft targets with the PLRF 05 Dear and coyotes? It looks like it reaches out just a little father than the old Bushnell 1500 I had. How long did the order process take, did you just call up the Potomic River Group and tell them what you want? Thanks for...

I hear ya on the all in one. I understand that you have to pay for R&D on a product, but you can get the same laser performance for less than half price TruPulse 200. I find myself on the same crossroads as others. Pay for the convenience of the all in one or try the 200.

I recently called Laser Technology about the TruPulse 360 and I was told it has the same laser diode that the G7 and even the Bushnell ARC 1600. The only difference was that the firm ware is different. Laser Technology also has a TruPulse 200 which has the same laser as the other mentioned...

KodiakHntr with the 110 V-Max you problem will be it staying together. A friend and I have played with them before. @ about 3900 fps out of a 1 and 10 they turn into gray dust. Out of my RUM I played around with the 110 SP, same BC and I had them over 4100 Fps with a factory Barrel. I did...

Nomad, I shoot the 110 V-MAXs out of a DPMS AP-4 and they are great. Last year 350 yd shoots were the norm with this combo. The Rum and 257 Wby are for the farther dogs.
