I own the Leupold Bx-5, but I got them on the killer EuroOptic deal for $800. I've compared them to Swaros (15x56 SLC), various Vortex, (12x diamondbacks and 12x razors) and I've looked through Meoptas (Meostar 15x56) on a different occasion, I didn't have them side-by-side with anything...

Interesting, I've never hunted 35a. I did hunt three different southern units this fall (so far) and have yet to see a camera in any of those units. I hunted one northern unit this fall (elk hunt) and of course there were cameras all over those water holes, so I understand what people are...

The thing is what you said is only true about a few units in the state. A ham-fisted total ban would punish the rest of the state where this problem just doesn't exist. I have run a few cameras here in Southern AZ and I have never run into someone else's camera at a water hole down here, and...

Thanks for all the input. I asked and found out that this rifle had indeed been shot in a lead sled. I decided to go ahead and buy the rifle off of my buddy as a project. I'm definitely going to replace the recoil lug and barrel nut, re-finish and bed the stock, we'll see what else. Perhaps...

A buddy was having accuracy issues with his Savage 110 chambered in 270win and asked me to take a look. My first clue that something wrong was that the front action screw would not come out. I had to dremel a notch in the head to get it out with a big flathead screwdriver. When I got it apart I...

You know there’s another twist to that proverb 😉

Hi all, I'm looking for a bolt for my Winchester 70. It's a short action, push feed, super shadow (post 64). It currently is chambered in 270wsm and has a magnum bolt face. I'm looking for a bolt with a standard .470 bolt face. I'm interested in trading my existing bolt, or buying one out...

Please report back how you like it. Meopta is putting out some great stuff, I hope it works great for you!

I just converted a 300wsm to 7saum. IMHO the saum case fits better in a Remington short action. If you have something longer than that, the wsm will get you better velocity. My 7 saum with a 22" barrel is currently shooting 180eldms @ 2850 with H1000, and that's with no pressure signs at all, I...

I love my Bergara, glad they're taking care of you.

@101stCurrahee I know this was a long painful process for you but I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for your brutal honesty through all of this. This thread is now a virtual gold mine of troubleshooting steps, help improving bench shooting techniques, and general advice. I'm sure it's small...

I just wanted to give an update on this. I gave the barrel a deep cleaning over several days with four different solvents. I now have nicknamed that rifle "the copper mine" because of a the gobs of copper that came out of it. The copper was followed by gobs of carbon. I went out and shot it...

Wooooooosh! My point was that the data presented was obviously old because 6.5cm (one of the most popular chamberings right now) wasn't even on the list. The poster of that list was using it to draw the conclusion that since 300wsm wasn't on the list, it must be dead. I attempted to use humor...

Based on this list the 6.5 creedmoor is dead.......everyone rejoice? 🤣

Thanks for that, I'm in the process of doing just what you suggest. Hopefully that will take care of things. FWIW I started a different thread over here with better pictures https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/help-is-this-a-carbon-ring.242216/
