I received the Arken EPL4 4-16x, it took two months to get it. The Arken turrets are really good and sound for such a cheap scope, but the glass is okay even though it is Japanese.

I was considering the NX8 2.5-20x the power range is what I wanted but your comment regarding the length of the scope, now removed from my list of scopes. Now I will see what Leupold has to offer the Mark5 3.6-18x next Vortex LHT model or Tract Toric model.

Or, are you just a paper target hole puncher like me? I'm going out to shoot today, I put on a better barrel for a Savage 110 action - Criterion barrel. The factory barrel is crappy.

A real case is the theft of a whitetail from out of the house over fifteen years ago, a trophy buck.

The US Army trained me on the M14 rifle 7.62x51. When I got into hunting, it was a 30-caliber rifle. So, I did not want another thirty-caliber rifle - full circle, I'm back to the 7.62x51/308 Winchester. Why? Cheap ammunition and there is a lot of it around.

I got all the primers I need to reload for; handloading 32 years now inventory 18,000 primers pistols and rifles. No problem finding bullets or powders. Primers the problem. I'm reloading the following cartridges: 6.5 Creedmoor, 308/7.62x51, next up 223 then next 6.5 Grendel (300-500 rounds...

I have seen this once before when a guy chambered and shot in 300 Weatherby magnums cartridge into rifle chambered in 300 Winchester magnum. What happened being that the bullet same caliber, it went down the bore, being that the 7mm Remington is shorter, the base blown off where the brass...

On FB, the question was asked there answer was, I’ve done for years being used in 308 cartridge.

Explain by your statement, are they plated?

30-06 Federal Fusion elk cow 165 grains, it did what was supposed to do; 35-50 yards.

I have one and a Hornady powder dispenser. The RCBS is accurate and easy to set up and get going reloading.

My experience with Hornady ammunition the power Hornady uses may be the problem, but I'm talking about shooting an AR-10. When the temperature drops below 65* I cannot shoot any Hornady brands will not operate the BCG just not enough pressure, my gun’s problem. My grandson the same shooting...

The factory barrels, are they just a hit or a miss? It depends on who made the barrel or who made the rifle. Thirty years of reloading, I have had some really good barrels, some bad. The group size around 1.5” the bad barrel. The good barrels under an inch but all good enough to hunt with where...

Factory installed barrel?
