Good luck, looking forward to updates.

Were you using handloads or factory ammo? I have been looking at those myself.

After a lot of thought, I still believe I'm going to buy the bergara, for several different reasons. 1, it is stainless steel with cerakote, Ruger is just chrome moly Steel. 2, it is about 1 lb lighter than the Ruger. 3, it has several reviews already, and they are all good, the Ruger is so new...

A tt trigger meaning trigger tech? I hear they are one of the best triggers available.

Yes I agree the Bergara's seem to have all good reviews, at least I do not recall seeing anything negative written about them yet. That is the one thing that gives me pause with the Ruger, I do not really want to be a beta tester for them. Also it's been my experience that with almost everything...

This new Ruger just popped up on my radar last night, I believe it is brand new for 2018. Here is a link https://www.ruger.com/products/HawkeyeLRT/specSheets/47183.html I was just about ready to buy a Bergara premier series, here is a link to it...

It is going on a 300 win mag.

I am trying to decide on a new scope for my 300 win mag. And have narrowed it down to A. Nightforce SHV 5 - 20 x 56 B. Swarovski Z 5. 5-25 x 52 C. Zeiss Conquest V4. 6 - 24 x 50 I already have an older Zeiss Conquest 4 -16, and I'm over all pleased...

How do you mark your scopes for correct parallax? I have a Zeiss conquest which has a side parallax adjustment, but it is un calibrated and just has unmarked dots on it. I thought about masking tape but that seems kind of dinky and un professional . I could use a paint marker when I am 100...

Maybe my technique is wrong, any pointers ?

I have discovered that my Harris bipods ( 6 -9 inch) which are perfect for benchrest shooting, are too low for prone shooting. I cannot comfortably get my shoulder in the stock in the correct position with it adjusted to the highest setting. It looks like I will be ordering a 9 - 13 inch...

After doing a thorough cleaning of my rifle barrels, I spent all afternoon getting the copper built back up in them so they would group properly again. It took about 30 rounds each for them to start grouping consistently. When I clean them I just can't get comfortable with not doing anything to...

I have been happy with my Talley rings.

I am not sure where to post this so mods please feel free to move it if innappropriately placed. Where can i get good affordable insurance on my guns? My homeowners policy is pricey if i add a firearms supplement to it.

I am a believer in 16 inch mid length systems myself. They seem to appeal to more people overall, and make great general purpose weapons. If you ever want to sell it you will have a wider market. But really cannot go wrong with either one. Here is a link to a thread from my most recent range...
