The Talley 1 piece mounts don't connect to a rail, the whole base of the ring mounts directly to your rifle. That's one of the things I like about them. Less parts. BUT to the best of my knowledge they dont make 1 piece tally's that have an MOA correction, so they are great if you don't need...

Assuming you have already selected your caliber (and 7MM is a great choice) then when making a rifle purchase there are a few things to consider: 1. Does the rifle out of the box "Feel right" for you. 2. Is it the proper weight, barrel length, stock configuration, trigger etc. for your...

I'm a fan of the 1 piece Talley, but that's also assuming that you don't need an MOA adjusted base.

That is a good price. The prices on them have come down considerably because it's a scope that is no longer being made. They (Zeiss) replaced the original conquest line with the Conquest HD5 line. That being said there are a lot of places selling dealer demo's with full warranty (Same as new)...

Honestly I have not used the Mark 4. I find NF to be amazing but pricey and I personally feel better for a target rifle because they usually are pretty heavy. That being said Optics Planet has the Zeiss Conquest in 6.5-20 starting at $699 for dealer demo's (Being replaced the with HD5) and you...

I think a lot of the production out of the box rifles have gotten much better in consistent accuracy the past decade or so. Much of the low cost equipment you can buy today is far better than some of the high price gear from years ago. That being said people used to hunt with just about...

It's also going to depend on your ballistics of your bullet. Some bullets will drop significantly further than others at 1k yards, meaning you will need to compensate more for that. You really need to see how much upward travel you have from your 0, and then plug your info into a ballistics...

Actually a suppressed .308 (Specifically that suppressed Remington 700 AAC-SD) shoots like a dream - I have a friend with one. It's extremely quiet, barely any recoil at all. It does help allow follow up shots if you should need one, and for beginner shooters it helps eliminate the flinch that...

Hi All. This is my first post here. I have read through probably a 1,000 threads on rifles and scopes and have gotten a mind boggling amount of information, some already known but most of it new - so thank you for all of that. My questions relates somewhat to that info in that I have 2 rifles...
