    FINALLY!! Burris has listened!

    It must be Beretta that listened.....maybe to the cash cow bottom line. Burris isn't Burris anymore. Burris is Beretta. And Steiner is Beretta. And if Burris starts looking like Steiner that's because both of them are Beretta owned and now really just trade names for Beretta. The trade name that...

    Rifles to avoid?

    I had 4 different AR-15 rifles. Colt, DPMS, Bushmaster, Olympic. Sold them all. Suckass triggers. Handles like a log wagon. I wanted a rifle that shot like a Ferrari drives. Bought a CZ-527 Varmint in .223 Rem with an HS Precision kevlar stock. With good handloads it is a 1/4 MOA rifle right...

    Hodgdon CFE 223 powder

    CFE 223 has no temperature stability. A chrome lined barrel does not need copper fouling eliminator in the first place. H4895 is the best all-around .223 powder. Go a range faster or slower depending on bullet weight, but stick with temp stable powders, Benchmark thru Varget for .223 Rem...

    The Perfect Long Rifle

    The 7mm Remington Magnum is the maximum round that most people can tolerate, recoil wise, and have a hope of accurately shooting, in a hunting weight rifle. It is the only named magnum round in the top 10 of most reloaded cartridges....FOR A GOOD REASON. It gets MY vote, which makes it...

    The New Royal Baby

    HARPERC, you are only SO RIGHT in that most people want a king to rule them, or even worse, a SAVIOR to save them just for making a statement of belief after a lomng life of practicing selfish immorality, as long as they get to ride his coattails to heaven with no real change in their core...

    cold barrel shot vs group

    If the first shot from a clean barrel is off, then you just shoot a round then go hunting. If you know where the first shot consistently groups from subsequent shots, then you hold over that amount when you shoot the first shot. Either method will work. Most people use powder that is...

    The New Royal Baby

    The BRF has screwed with the affairs of this country since the 18th century, and if a person does not understand that then he is just another ignorant 'neck. This post is very pertinent since it deals with a family that is very dangerous to the whole world and a MAJOR cause of why the 2nd...

    Tikka T3 - Excessive Copper Fouling / Accuracy Issues?

    Birdhunter 1, my out-of-the-box CZ 550 shoots about a 1/4" 3-shot group at 100 yards with my handloads. Your Tikka may shoot well enough to please you, and that is all you care about, but I can assure you that with all its cost cutting measures it comes nowhere close to a CZ 550 or late...

    The Practice of Scoping.

    I know what I would do if somebody were scoping me out. I only hunt on private property, and nobody would be the wiser.

    The New Royal Baby

    I'm getting sick and tired of seeing a photo of the new royal baby every time I open my web browser. I think the British Royal Family (BRF) should save the new baby photos for what few of their braindead royal constituents give the slightest **** about their latest spawn. The American colony has...

    what is the hardest brass

    Remington is the hardest of those three. Norma (Nosler) or Lapua wiil be your best bet for good brass. Remington, like Winchester, does not make the quality of brass they once did.

    Nosler Ballistic Tips variances

    Manufacturers have to replace machine tooling on a regular basis. It is a good time to make improvements to their manufactured product, so the new product may vary from old lots. I use the Hornady COAL gauge setup, and that gives me the same jump to the rifling, no matter what happens to the...

    Tikka T3 - Excessive Copper Fouling / Accuracy Issues?

    The Tikka T3 is no Sako. You really think that Sako is going to offer a rifle at a Tikka price that anywhere compares to their rifles??? Wake up, dead man. Even Chuck Hawks, who is nowhere near the last word in gun gurus, has mentioned that Tikka rifles are poster children for just about every...

    Budget Scope Advice

    I own Burris and I own Redfield scopes. My Burris scopes (several) are on my centerfire rifles and the Redfield scope is on my Ruger 10/22 where it belongs.

    Best long range scope for buck

    Get a used Burris Signature Select. It was the scope that defined Burris before Beretta bought Burris. Made in the USA. Vortex, Sightron, Bushnell Elite, Weaver V-series......all are Japanese made by OLW and are OK scopes and I own one of them. The Burris made in USA scopes had optics that...
