Contact Zeiss and send it back to them, they will change tem out for a nominal fee, i have the target turrets on my 4.5 x 14 conquest and love them.

I jump my 140 gr vld bergers in my short action 6.5-284 over 40 thou jump and they shoot super good. i also jump my 185 gr vld 30 cal in my 300wsm maybe try the 185 vld vs. the 190's they might have a little bit of ogive difference, i havent checked them to see. But you never know how much of a...

Hello guys, I was considering building a longer ranged rifle in either a 338 RUM improved or a 338 Edge, would a donor action in 7 mm mag be long enough? The action is a Rem 700, what would i have to do other than maybe opening up the bolt face? Does Rem. build a longer action for these bigger...

I believe any of those bullets would work if the PH would allow you to shoot that caliber. I have killed lots of American Alligators with just a lil 22 long rifle, of course that was cull hunting at a gator farm. But all aside the skull plate of an alligator or crocidile is very hard, but you...

Very cool, I would glady build my wife a rifle if she showed any intrest in it. Good luck on your next build.

Thanks Brad, that 50/50 black and orange is sharp looking, I have seen a few rifles with that stock, i really like it. Mine will be wearing one as soon as i can swing the funds. Might be tricky with the wife though, all my stock combinations are all olive with black web, might be hard to sneak...

Nice looking rifle Brad, what are the specs and color schemes on that stock? I will be changing mine pretty soon, right now I have a B&C Medalist varmint stock, it's ok but real bulky. Can you tell me the specs on your rifle too, my rifle looks like it could be your's big brother minus the stock.

The wind finally died down this past weekend for me to test my bergers, all I can say is wow! Jumping them 120 thou. did work, tiny little group 3/8 inch at 200 yards! I did have some loaded with a 10 thou jump and they shot about an 1 1/2 group, still not too bad under MOA. So i think i might...

thanks Mike all advice is greatly appreciated, i will probably just continue to shoot them like you said, single shot. do you know how the 130 grain vlds compare in length to the 140 grain vld hunting bullets. I would love to think they would fit better, better bc and lighter weight than the 140...

i love my Zeiss 4.5x14x50, i have the target turrets on my and it is spot on. I have been wanting a Viper for sometime now though too. I am waiting for their new hunting line coming out this summer. I am not big on the illuminated reticles of the other lines. But as far a durability and clear...

Mike i did see the sticky at the top of this section and have read it a few times, and i have heard from all different people before about how far they have jumped their bergers. I guess the only real answer is after i get some trigger time with these loads that are short. and if they don't...

I am shooting a 6.5 x 284 Shehane, it really likes the 140 grain Nosler Competition, but the bc isn't so good on those bullets. I would like to be able to shoot the 140 grain hunting vld. i do now, with a 20 thou. jump and they shoot great, but I want to be able to get them to fit my magazine. I...

I shoot Norma brass in my 6.5 x 284 Shehane. So far so good, running them pretty hot, at a little over 3000 fps, w 140 grain bullets.

Hello all from South Florida, i have been reading here for years and just now got on the ball and joined. Been shooting for years now, and just started getting into long range shooting and hunting in the last 10 years or so.
