I have looked on their website and searched the web and I don't seem to get a consistent answer. Is the supplied one piece base a 20 moa or a 0 moa base? Thank You.

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. I was able to get some Lapua brass ordered if it shows up.

Did you ream out the chamber yourself or did you have a gunsmith do it? How much does the reamer run? I am wondering if I should just bite the bullet and do it now before I invest the time and money in working up loads? However I am sure it would void the warranty so might want to see how she...

It is the carbon barrel version. I am hoping I will not have to open up the chamber but it may be necessary. Time will tell.?

Well I got my hands on some 6.5PRC Lapua Brass and am ready to purchase my dies. Any other input on dies? I have done forum searches and it seems that some prefer Redding S dies, some Forester, some Hornady, some prefer bushings, others don't? Some don't use a mandrel, others do? This is a...

I just purchased a Waypoint 2020 in 6.5PRC and am in the process of buying components to reload for it. On my other bolt guns I have used Lee Collet dies, a Redding body die and a Wilson bullet seater with my Arbor press. I have done various searches and am a bit conflicted what to use. From...

Thanks for the input. I ended up ordering the 4-20. Hopefully it will work out well for what I want.

The nice thing with a FFP scope is that you can crank it down and still have your reticle sub tensions stay the same for hold-offs. I wonder if the glass is the same in two scopes one 4-20 and one 5-25, which would be clearer set at 20 power the 4-20 or 5-25? Does it make a difference? It...

I am getting more interested in long range shooting and hunting. I love the idea of putting together the components (rifle, optic, loads, etc.) and putting in the time at the range to become proficient at longer range hunting / shooting. Most of my "local" long range hunting will be limited to...

I just ordered a Burris XTR II 4-20 scope and now I need rings. I use Burris signature zee rings on all of my other scopes and have had good luck with them. I see that Burris added a Xtreme Tactical Signature ring line. Does anyone have thoughts on them? I see they are aluminum which...

Thanks for the responses so far. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who's eyes are not what they used to be. Getting older sucks. I am not worried about seeing the hash marks at the lower power, just the crosshair. I really could go either way and make it work. There are pro's and...

I have read many posts on the pluses and minuses of both and I clearly understand the differences. I currently own 2 FFP Vortex PST's. One a 4-16 with EBR-1 MOA reticle and a 6-24 PST with EBR-2C MOA reticle and I like both scopes a lot. My only challenge with them is that when hunting I...

I noticed that on the store site for Long Range Pursuit they advertise a magazine called Long Range. Does anyone get this and if so what do you think of the publication?

So I can see that the "clicks" would be a little more precise in MOA vs. Mil .265" vs. .36". As far as using the reticle for aiming, which I will probably do more than dialing, the Mil would be 1.8" per tick mark vs. 2.1" per tick on the MOA right? So with the Mil it would be 9" at 500 yards...

I am trying to decide on either the EBR-2C MOA or 2C MRAD reticle for a Vortex PST 6-24 in FFP that I am going to order. I already have a 4-16 PST with a EBR 1MOA reticle. I like it but it seems many are going to the mil reticle and mil clicks? The rest of my scopes are various brands with...
