If you find anybody that admits to shooting prairie dogs this side of the Rockies, you will know right away that they are liars. Don't know about pigs though.

Now while I will admit that I do own a few USO Scopes and like them a lot, they aren't the only scopes I buy. Some other companys produce some very excellent optics. Here is an example on my old M70.

Except: It wasn't a moose, her detractors got it wrong. It appeared they had time to check zero long before the saw that Caribou later on. :cool:

As far as Kate Gosslein goes, she is a typical SOCAL hot house plant and doesn't do well in the cold and rain. Didn't like guns nohow! I once took one of those Dolls out in my boat (9 x 27, 600 hp). She didn't like the bounce and demanded I take her back in. So I did. Just fine laying on the...

The .204 in my view is an inherently accurate round. I continue to be astonished as to what it will do with some 10X and the 32 grain Hornady red tip. It is lightening fast and hits like a hammer from hell. Currently my favorite light round, next step up from the .17HMR which is also an...

I used a .300 WSM Winchester Controlled feed action. I also got one of the first MACMILLAN A5 Stocks for that action. Should be no change from factory WSM action. This was not a recut of a 300 WINMAG Action.

Another good question. Let's put this one in engineering terms. A firearm is really a machine that converts stored chemical potential energy (in the primer and to a greater extent the powder) into kinetic energy of the bullet in flight. Bottom line is we must look at the efficiency at...

A very excellent question for a sophmore physics student. You have a good intuitive feel for the question, but like many average Americans, **** little science to back it up. Energy is for a moving body is defined as E = 1/2 M V^2. The up arrow for purpose here will mean to the power of. The...

I built mine on a new WIN 70 CFA in 300 WSM. This is a better approach in my opinion because action was designed to handle larger case from the git go. No bolt section reduction required to handle Jeffrey case. Gunshop purchased barrel, stock, trigger group. This paid for more than half the cost...

The scope shown below has an h-25 lit reticle in it and I love it to death. Have Atrag2 software and 4000 weather meter with 8X BRF as shown. Works like a charm. Note angle of dangle. Was shooting at 600 + at 1 gal water jugs. Round was 175 Berger .308 VLD at 2600 MV.

If they weren't good, why would I buy so many?

.260 Rem on M70 CFA. 6-30x58 USO SN3 Custom M700 in .204 Ruger 32gr Hornady at 3900. 3.2-17x44 SN3 Custom M70 in 7mm WSM. 100gr Hornady HP Varmint @ 3600 3.2-17x44/58 SN3. Now has 3.8-22x58 SN3

Re: Angle compensated Swaro\'s or Leica LRF\'s...? Leica GEOSYSTEMS builds one called the "VECTOR" for the Military and others, but the price is off the planet. It can however, directly connect to transmitter/targeting systems for data up-link.

With all due respect, Sir: Mil-radian dot reticle was and is used by the military. It is very useful when engaging tactical targets inside 800 meters (yards). Formula for ranging is Range(meters) = Target height (M) x 1000 / mils read So an 60" target reading 2 mils = 1.5 x 1000/2 =...
