I recently inherited a Browning BAR in 300 Win that was topped with a straight 4 power Leupold scope. The current bases will not support a 40mm objective lens so I'm looking to upgrade. I could easily swap out the rings and keep the one piece Leupold base but I'm not sure that is the wisest...

You have a great argument for going larger than the 7 rem mag, but at this point larger is not in my plan. I can heart shoot a deer or elk out to 500 yards cleanly with the 7 mag and in the great state of Wyoming, I can generally fill my tag with those parameters. Often times my shots are within...

That is good to here. while I like hte idea of the 260 rem, I want to be able to buy box ammo off the shelf in a dire situation (eventhough I reload for all calibers I own). That has forced me to look beyond the 260 at this point. I have been reading up on the 25-06 and trying to compare and...

Hey all, Still struggling to throw my hard earned and not too easily come by cash on the table for a scope. I'm still looking into my options but have been unable to determine if I like the Weaver Grand Slam or the Viper HS better. Can I get some help from folk who can help compare/contrast the...

I'm looking to outfit a Tikka T3 chambered in 7 mag with the best scope I can afford and while I realize I will not enter the 1000 yard club with a measly $400 scope, it is all I can afford right now. I've worked up a load that gets me great accuracy out to 400 and 500 reliably but my hand me...
