You were talking about a VX6 and a Nightforce SHV 3-10in the beginning of the post in the $875.00 - $960.00 price range You could get a Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 or 4.5-14x40 with three turrets for different altitudes and still come out ahead. For what it's worth I have both the 1" and 30mm...

Get the VX3 4.5-14x40 with side focus and windplex without the CDS. Send the scope back into Leupold to get the Target turret installed for $90. You can then have Leupold or Kenton Industries make a laser engraved turret for your load for the target turret. I shoot a 300 ackley, with a 200...

That VX6 2-12 with the windplex reticle for wind and cds turret for elevation looks good. Another lightweight option would be a Varix-3 in 4.5-14x40 with windplex and a target turret or cds for elevation with engraved turret. 1" tube

What velocity is the 300wby getting with the 215 Bergers ? and what powder ? Is it a 26" barrel ? Thanks

Ended up using a wooden dowel and sandpaper to free float the barrel. Was getting late and dark at the range today but fired a 3 shot group with the 155 Amax, 53.0 Grains IMR 4064, Fed Primer for a group of around .623. Just did an eyeball of center to center with the calipers so could be a...

Excellent info Thank You

Looks like I will be loading for 308. 20" Remington 700 heavy barrel with PWS muzzle brake. What is the best bullet / powder combo to start with for all round shooting out to 700 - 800 yards ? Would the 168 grain HPBT Sierra or Hornady be a good choice ? Amax or ? Blc2 powder or ? What is...

Thank You

Good info, thank you. I have had tremendous results with a 200 grain accubond in 30 cal @ 3150 fps but am going to go with the Barnes 127 gr LRX in my 6.5 stw. I was concerned about the 6.5 accubond holding up to the 3400-3500 fps velocity

Is anyone using the Remington Magpul Hunter Stock ? Looks like they also just released the new trigger guard and detachable 5 shot magazine. Thanks

Went shooting today 52.0 grains 4064 with 155 amax, terrible group - 3" @ 100 yards 52.5 grains 4064 just as bad, thought the rings or base was loose. 53 grains 4064 group shrunk down to 1" for 3 shots. 53.5 grains 4064 group opened up and primers began to get a little flat, bolt was not...

I had a Remington 700 adl in both .270 and 30-06 many years ago and both would shoot at least a 1" group with handloads. 3 shots @ 100 yards. I did free float the barrels as both had wood stocks and both had a few pressure points on the barrel. The first thing I would check is to make sure your...

Great Info, Thank You These days you have to save your brass as it's hard to come by. What barrel length do you have ?

Built a 6.5-06 AI on a 26" #1 Shilen barrel. .498 at the muzzle. Built on a Remington 700 action with a Brown Precision stock and a kick eez recoil pad. Rifle weighs 6.6 pounds without optics or bases. Built for hunting, not constant shooting. It's the first shot that counts. Very pleased...

Great info, thank you. Didn't think of a 27" barrel but it's a good idea.
