can u send me a pic or two of the zeiss 6.5-20? 979 two9two 4eight 3-3

ok thanks

thanks for the advice. i got a rifle bedded @ mg arms, i agree, they do good work. about a 4 hour round trip from them, know any good places on the south side?

what kind of accuracy can one expect from a custom shop sendero? i was looking at a 87776 my senderos shoot very well for factory offerings, so i was curious what one could expect from a custom shop that costs double??????? really would like to have a custom built by a very reputable smith...

i know it has been some time, but this is just a follow up. i loaded up some 208 a-max's, and WOW, they shoot great! dispite how irked i got with the previous barrel and having to return, it has been a true learing experience. once again, thanks to all that helpled can one humanely take...

with the 5000 outdoor hunting shows(no complaint, as I have a few I record all new episodes), many visiting the same outfitter, how frequently do you think the outfitter reserves the best spots/trail cam promise areas for the tv shows? always been diy hunter, but would like to start booking...

yes, i'm comparing same length barrels, and switching primers doesn't really alter the results. i shoot alot of weatherby stuff, and i find that their published velocities are spot on.... as a matter of fact, when i shot the 150gr sp 270wb, the 3 shot average was exactly 3245, the published...

i know there must be dozens of variables, but nary a load, in any grain weight, rivals that of published reloading books???? my cheapo 130$ chrony mirrors a friends high end readings, so i checked my chrono. Any powder/grain/primer etc combo. i try is 60-180 fps slower than what...

There is light at the end of the tunnel. mounted the original nightforce 5.5-22x50 and talley rings, a few boxes of factory ammo and went to the range tues. since this was a new barrel, it was cleaned before every shot. each ammo was tested by 3 rounds, three times. results are so much...

for what it's worth, and maybe someone can get something useful, here is an update. after the bedding and lug squaring, things looked promising. problem was that nothing was repeatable. a load that resulting in an inch group from a clean bore could shoot 3 inches the next day. I called...

well, i'd like to follow up in thanks for all of the help/suggestions. Ended up taking the rig to mg arms in spring, had is glass bedded and had the lugs squared. saw a fairly impressive gain in accuracy, with all ammo, both factory and reloads. Barne's 180 ttsx factory 3 shot groups 1.75"...

oh, they chrono at 3245fps, avg

hey, trckymsft, we meet again. i don't have any load dev. for my 270B yet, it's a mark V accumark. it shot 1.5-1.75" 100 yd groups with factory weatherby 130/140 ammo. it shoots the weatherby 150sp .75" at 200yds, all day long!! i love the gun, don't think i can improve of the accuracy, so...

Gary(trckymsft), i could not tell if the barrel's i.d. changed, as the amount of resistance seemed constant while running a patch. neither could i say any of the brass had imperfections. since i've already remounted the base/rings/re-torqued the action screws, i spent a crap load more $$$$ on...

thanks, to all. longrangehunting is such a cool place! you have given me a great starting point 1)use the tape and patch trick for i.d. 2) check spent cases 1-2 just for my own knowledge, as i couldn't fix anyway 3)i'm going to order some nosler/barne's/etc higher quality...
