Probably shooting pigs that were rooting up my wheat fields

Thanks good info for a lot of folks

Filip, I do apologies for as it was put! hijacked your thread. But I wanted to say that I googled info from YouTube and it was explaining Mil vs Moa, i don't pretend to understand the turret on Euro vs Moa. I'm new to this site and trying to navigate has been a learning experience. One Mil is...

Yes, thanks for helping me with the shooting language. I'm now at trying to understand turrets, since this thread was about euro turrets. Now more mind bending info Mrad or Moa.? I will bow out now.

Thanks, I have contacted Defiance on a action. with the Larger diameter scopes I understand that there is more moa to work with so with my average shots being under 200 I'm questioning a10 degree cant instead of the 20? I will call Bartlein and speak to them. If they can do the barrel , action...

Please accept my opolgies, I do not know how to navigate well but on the turret issue I watched. You tube where a person was upset about not having first plane and not getting Mil turret to mil reticle or Moa turret to Moa turret. But your thread was on optics so I figured it was a good place to...

Thanks good info. I'm in Texas and the average hunting shots are 80/150 yards unless I'm on the hill and then 600 to 1000 yard shots do open up. With the 125 elevation Vortex I guess with the reticle centered I'm working with 62 initially, so that's why I'm asking on cant. On another blog it was...

I'm trying to wrap my mind on MOA and scopes and cant. I was looking on line at the Vottex Razor, it said 125 elevation and 125 windage. If it takes 45 moa to achieve 800 yards then would this scope require a 20 cant to achieve that yardage? Confused thanks for any input.Also new to this sight.

I have heard of Berger, been using Noslers exclusively. I also have been told to look at the twist 1/10 or 1/11. Would the slower twist be less effective on longer projectiles? Is the 1/10!fast enough for the over 200 gr. components? You probably can tell buy my questions that I'm still at the...

Thanks for the reply and the Big Horn Arms, will look them up , so much homework so many options. It was posted by a gun guru from years past " only accurate guns are interesting ". That's my goal. Back in 94 I had a blemished Sako action AV I picked up for 60 bucks, a .284 blank from Krieger...

Thanks will look into a Pierce. What's your take on a 300 win? I think the fad now is the 6.5 creed. 15 years ago it was the 6.5 -284 Norma. I spoke to a rifle smith in Houston Tx. Since I'm in Fort Worth and he mentioned the 308 Norma Mag? Should have asked why. Maybe better barrel life? I...

Defiance price was 1380, it's on their web page. I'm considering the mag hunter, initially was considering the tactical but it's 4 oz heavier. Last build I used a Sako action on a Krieger barrel 25" finish crowned in 280 Ackley 40 shoulder Mc Millan Classic, Leupold 3x10-50. I call it my work...

I just spoke to Norm today at Defiance, he stated they don't tax? Unless you are speaking of import tax? What are you building? I'm new so I hope I'm on the right page. Im considering a 300 win, Bartlein barrel 26 /25 finish. I do have a 30 Nosler in mind but shells could be hard to find in a...

I guess I placed the reply in the wrong place??

New to the site. Question, what was the time from ordering and receiving the Barlein barrel. Do they flute their barrels or do you have to let the rifle maker finish this ? I haven't yet contacted them. I did a barrel from Krieger back in the nineties I think they didn't flute barrels at that...
