    New SIG Kilo 10K released

    https://www.sigsauer.com/kilo10k-abs-hd-gen-ii.html?utm_campaign=240507_KILO10K&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua I love the idea of wind buttons to change - why they didn't do this the first time is a mystery. Dying to see the optical quality.

    Revic or Leica 3200 ?

    Buying any RF that doesn't use AB and display the solution in RF itself is like buying a LabRadar instead of a Garmin.

    Tangent Theta vs ZCO vs Schmidt vs Kahles

    This is a great thread, but there is no mention of parallax focus. I have an older March and hate the parallax because it doesn't focus as fine as the NF scopes I have. IMHO, the ability to discern mirage and thus estimate wind is huge for me - why I like NF. When shooting LR in the wind, I...

    WHITE FEATHER-USMC SNIPER VIET NAM

    I spoke with him on the phone back in the 90s. Incredibly modest man. IIRC, his phone number was published. Also spoke with his son, who at the time was a SSG in the USMC. The book was excellent. I told Hathcock killing the Apache woman must have been great, that she was a real bitch. He just...

    Sako VS Browning

    I don't have an A Bolt but I do have an X Bolt and it is one of the most accurate out of the box rifles I have owned. Have a SAKO .375 that I shot my last moose with, but I can't say the SAKO is any better than most factory rifles - certainly not as accurate as my X Bolt.

    Luckiest Shot You Ever Made

    I have three; in order of when they happened: 1976: Took at shot at a running red squirrel high up in a tree with a single shot .22. Deader than a doornail. 1995: first trip to Africa. Wanted a huge kudu. On day five, we saw a monster - he looked at us and took off. I threw the rifle up and...

    What is the the most flat shooting cartridge yall can think of?

    I like your tight 2" plus or minus. Too many shooters ignore the fact that half your bullets are going to strike above your maximum trajectory ordinate (how much high depends on your rifle's accuracy and your holding ability). I see this a lot with big game discussions; people think a MPBR with...

    What is the the most flat shooting cartridge yall can think of?

    I shoot 55 gr 6mm bullets in my .243 Win for exactly this reason - pretty flat.

    WHY I PREP MY BRASS AND FLASH HOLES

    Seriously? BTW, I corrected to say "needs no prep."

    WHY I PREP MY BRASS AND FLASH HOLES

    Eric Cortina has a video where he states that Lapua brass needs no prep.

    28 nosler

    I think my next rifle will be a 7 PRC. I have two 28s now and love them, but I shoot them somewhat sparingly. The wind drift of 195s at 3000i s about the same as a .338 300 Berger at 2900 or a 30 cal 225 ELDM at 3000. With my 28N I can see hits at 760 and farther, which I cannot do with the...

    There is an estate sale for components at the Salida Gun Shop. The had 2 8# each of CFE223 and Bl-C(2) for $200 each. I took one of the CFEs - I love how that powder meters. Also had a bunch of pistol primers and some ammo/bullets. Salida also has a bunch of Lapua brass in stock at pretty...

    Embarrassing

    I remember when we traded powder you had just come back from fishing. You two are making me jealous!
