    The Ultimate Hunting Rifle Action!

    Nice guns and there is no wrong. You confirmed what I guessed though. While your stocks are standard, you are not haha. Technically you should have a shorter lop. In doing so, your scope would be mounted further forward, like normal. Yes my rigs are set up to shoot in the winter. I'm not...

    Are those long range rigs? They don't really look like it to me?? I've never seen such short scopes other than on pistols. Looks like LOP is too long and your trying to compensate by moving scope rearward

    Well you can add a cheek piece to fit your personal height exactly. Kinda hard to lower the stock. But then there are low medium and high scope rings too. Lots of options

    The Ultimate Hunting Rifle Action!

    This is long range hunting. There are lots of "other" weapons and sights for all things other than long range that I think your alluding to. For long range, extreme accuracy, likely higher power everything, an integral base will eliminate possible issues that normal shooting setups are going...

    The Ultimate Hunting Rifle Action!

    I'm a 3 position wing safety only person. Used law m704s so far for my customs. Everything else is m70s. I dont have an integral rail, but believe it would be superior. With LAW out of business, I would buy defiance for future builds

    7mm Blaser Mag Reloading Data

    I have only shot 175 eol, 180 hyb, 184 hyb, 195 eol. All essentially the same numbers down range. Something like after 800 yds, the 195 has a slight advantage. I should test some more, but the 195s shoot well out to 1204 so far so not that motivated. Just a wild guess but 160gn bullet...

    Best scopes for $1500 to $2000?

    My x5i is brh. In my opinion for a walking, packing hunting gun I really like small and compact. 3.5-18x is more than enough. No big knobs sticking out, 1lb, 44mm objective, not going to pull trigger on big game beyond 800-1000 so 1" tube is sufficient. In 4-5 years of hunting and range...

    Best scopes for $1500 to $2000?

    6cm, 7 blaser rogue and stock 270 with z5. 338wm with z3. Custom 22-250 with x5. The customs also have 20 moa rails. Without moa rail, you are limited to around 800 yard come ups. Z5 is definitely better than z3 in both glass quality and turret construction. Yes there is a handy tool for...

    Best scopes for $1500 to $2000?

    I have swarovski z5's on my two custom backpacking hunting guns. One has the 4w and one brh with turrets added. Both with 2 turn turrets. Shoot to 1200yd so far. I like the compact and light weight for hunting and I can hold my own pretty well at the range with the bench guys. Just put an...

    Calling contest

    Nicer weather for this weekends contest than the -32 when it was originally scheduled. Started with a 30 yard, 440 yard, somehow missed at 100, and finished day with a 312 yard. 6cm is shooting very well.
