    Rifle choice/options in 204Ruger?

    I was pondering the idea of picking up a bolt action varmint gun chambered in .204 Ruger. I think the caliber is ****-hot and persuading yourself into buying another rifle is never a bad thing. Few questions: Anyone care to guess at barrel life shooting 40gr's around 3600fps? Max range on...

    Muzzle brake question

    I've shot it on a 338 and it works well. Felt like a 308. I've never shot the JP on a 338 though so I can't compare.

    Anyone handloading the Sierra 69gr. HPBT Match?

    Muzzle brake question

    Check out the Badger FTE brake before you make a decision. I've got a JP tactical brake (Benny Cooley) on an AR and it kills recoil. JP's shop does good work as well.....but man that thing looks like an abortion. I wouldn't put it on my rifle....even if it cooked me dinner.

    Rem 700 XCR Tactical Long Range

    I'm pretty sure the XCR tactical and the 700P are using the same 5.5 contour factory barrels. The vanilla XCR's use a hunting taper barrel. The only difference is going to be the stock. In my opinion the HS precision factory stock sucks hard (I've got one and am speaking from experience) but...
