My vote goes to 260 Ack Imp.

Not as well as the S&B PMII but for 1/3 the price they're fully functional for my purposes. I also have a couple of Nightforces and, quite frankly for the half the price, I'll take the Sightron anytime. For a sniper crawling through mud and rocks the Nightforce has advantages from the standpoint...

Winter is always long and cold here in Canada, so I decided to keep busy and build another Savage custom rifle. This latest one joins 2 others built in the past 2 winters. Here's a list of components used in all 3 with photos below. At the forefront, this year's built: Stock: blank European...

Does anyone know if production of scopes at Deon Optics has been affected by the earthquake and ensuing tragedy in Japan?

+1. Mine groups very well at .010" from the lands. My friend's rifle does best at .015".

I use the same rifle/caliber with a Limbsaver and Magnaport for moose both for long range hunting and dense brush still hunting. For LRH I mount a Swarovski Z6 1.7-10x42mm TDS on a picatinny rail. I use it single shot with Accubonds 225gr seated .010" from the lands for 3/4 MOA to 650 yards...

Hmmm, interesting product, butI'm not putting my Zeiss Victory RF up for sale yet!

Here's my most accurate hunting load with the 300WM in a Savage 112 BVSS WW case CCI 250 Nosler Accubond 200gr 80.5gr H1000 OAL 3.507" 1/2 MOA to 500 yds (3 shots from cold barrel) 2935fps

So far 500 yds only.

Nosler 155grs 47.0 gr Varget CCI BR2 Lapua case .010" jump

rscott5028 I worked on a project very similar to what you describe. My project started with a used Savage F/TR, to which I added many custom components, including a stock which I finished myself. Here's what it looks like: Savage target action(from the original F/TR) Base Near Mfg. 12 MOA...

I have tied all kinds of dies over the 40 years that I have been reloading. For the best relative price/quality/precision, I now purchase the following dies when I can: Lee Collet die Redding Body die Forster Ultra seater

I use a different technique to set up my resizing dies using Larry Willis' "Digital Headspace Gauge". I set it up for a .002" bump on the shoulder using the following procedure: 1. I take a case fire formed in my firearm. The case should be a tight fit so that it's as close as possible to...

I emailed Bryan Litz about the effective minimum velocity for the 210grs VLD cal 308 and he answered 1,800 fps.

After 45 years of hunting deer, moose and bear with all kinds of calibers and bullet types, I could present many stories of effective and ineffective terminal ballistics. But that would merely add to the pile of contradictory anecdotal evidence. As some have mentioned, it is critical to match...
