Oh boy! This information is really helpful! I'll get to researching and give a follow up with what I experience.

I'm new to the idea of ballistic matched turrets. I have a few questions I live in California and I hunt the coastal range where the elevation can be up to 1500 and the tempature can range from 70 to 110 degrees. I sometime hunt in the Sierra Nevada mountains where the elevation can be up to...

This will be the first time I use the turret system. Before I'd just hold over. My family and I have always used Nikon thinking its a cheaper Leupold but boy am I glad I asked. Thank you everyone for your input.

I'm looking for a new scope. Budget is right at $500. It's for my 30-06 and I want to extend the range on it a bit up to 500 yards. I've been told my best options are the Leupold VX-II and the Nikon Monarch 3 due to their custom turret systems. I'm not sure which to go with. Thank you

I shoot a factory savage 116 300 win mag with a Nikon Monarch 3 with a custom turret. I can hit 600-700 yards at the range. But for hunting is it really worth getting the G7 rangefinder? I currently have a leupold rangefinder with the angle compensation and what not. I haven't tried hunting with...

That is my issue. I'm not sure where to look for a barrel for my 25-06 axis because according to their specs it requires 1:8 twist. Any reccomendations? And would this be too fast for a 100 grain bullet?

I'm skeptical about the loads. Just how much powder to use without wasting much.

Thank you, as I'm wanting to load them for my 300wm and 25-06. Just a little skeptical about it.

Has anyone tried experimenting with the brand Cutting Edge? I hear lots of different things about them. They say to go off of your preferred load and act as if it is the same grain bullet as another in a manual. Your opinions?

Ill be hunting elk, deer, bear, and wild pig. Shooting no more then 600 or 700 yards.

Well I can go a little more upwards in price. Would it be best to go with a higher number model? What I mean is, is a 111 better then a 110 or a 116 better then the 111 and the 110? And thank you this is really helpful!

I'm looking to purchase a rifle in 300wm for up to 800 yards but not sure about which to get. They're about the same price. TC venture guarantees a 1" group or better but I hear awesome things about the savage axis. I plan on upping the stock then bedding it. If reviews are already posted can...

I'm fairly new to shooting long ranges. I can currently shoot 400 yards with a 25-06 savage with 115gr Barnes tsx. Looking for advice on a 300wm to hunt elk and deer out of state at longer distances. I reload my ammo. I live in California lead free zone with little experience on the heavier...
