CZ IS coming out with a Single Set Trigger for the 455's... Dunno when but the price is going to be more expensive than the Dave or Brooks trigger kits.

What was the final decision on this? I have both suppressed .22LR's, springer air rifles/pistols, and PCP rifles/pistols. In all what do you want to do with the rifle, to hunt if so what will be the quarry and distance? If you want to just shoot paper then the decision would be easier to...

I have the Nightforce NXS NP-R2, Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50, IOR 6-24x50, and now a USO ST-17. If on a budget and was CLEAR glass with reliable internals the Zeiss Conquest should fill the bill. Other than that I would go with the Nightforce. I had an older 30mm tube IOR fail me on a .338...

I am also interested in Crow's load and rifle specs with reloading techniques? After my fifth firing I can see the stretch marks along the sides of my brass... I have a regular .338LM with a 26" barrel.

FYI: A local gun shop had a factory 20rd for $99.

I have the CED by RSI, bought the chrony, ballistics software, and the optional I/R screens. The IR screens aren't necessary but at least I know that I have them if needed. The other day I was shooting my .338 on a overcast cloudy day that was drizzling, the chrono was reading all of my...

Montana Extreme, WARNING: STRONG VAPORS! I opened up a bottle awhile ago, this stuff is deadly! I am cleaning my bore out, previously I used Hoppes #9 Benchrest formula but this stuff is getting even more crud out. DO NOT SNIFF THE BOTTLE, it doesn't have the aroma of the original Hoppes #9...

Other ways do exist in order to have enough MOA for longer ranges other than having it in the scope. Custom made inclined bases (Badger, Near, USO, IOR, , adjustable base (USO makes this), or adjustable rings (Ivey/Barrett/Burris). For KISS I would expect that fixed rings and a fixed base with...

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR>Nightforce <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Actually mine is stamped and painted in "Made in Japan". Also if you are interested, the Nightforce NXS looks as if it uses a 2-piece tube. (or at least to me)

If you are thinking of any of the above calibers perhaps start with a large action, PGW Timberwolf or the big .416Rigby sized CZ. I suppose the Sako .338 Lapua can also be used depending on availability. This way you can rechamber/rebarrel and not have to buy a larger action. (Maybe have...

I had seen this in the Sinclair catalog and decided to try it since I didn't have an appropriate powder funnel. I was using a kitchen type funnel which liked to clog up and it needed a few taps of persuasion to make it work again. To describe the Lyman Powder Pal, it is a combination...

I have both the IOR 6-24x50 and the NXS 5.5-22x56mm. If you can scratch up the money go with Nightforce! They aren't kidding when they say the tube is thicker than most scopes. It's one hefty piece of glass which will add considerable weight to your rig so expect that. Huge steel knobs that...

Does anyone use "Montana Extreme", if so how does this work compared to the other products? (My bottle just came in and boy does that stuff smell.)

$1271 from Bear Basin, now why this couldn't have been brought up before I ordered mine?

I ordered a NXS 5.5-22x56 for an AR-10. Determining factors are: could not get a hold of USO to inquire about pricing or options during normal business hours and Eye relief is a bit short on the USO. I was looking at the ST-10 line from USO as the starting price is very reasonable compared to...
