I have one and am thinking of getting a fixed power target scope instead. It has a sunshade and i can send you pictures. It is on my 22 currently and I can include the rings. They are for a picatinny rail. It should not have any scratches as I lapped the rings before mounting, but it might...

I think if you clearly defined your priorities, members could tell you more. For example the european models have better glass in general and can range targets when hunting in low light. Beam divergence was mentioned and whether you hunt or target shoot in open areas or in brush makes a...

I sold my leica and currently have a Zeiss. Both work well but there are differences. The glass is good enough for both to identify hunting targets in low light, not much difference. The Zeiss is easier to hold steady but bigger to carry. The current Zeiss PRF has longer ranging than the old 900...

Interesting post. I guess part of the reason mention 100 yd results so much is that is a commonly available shooting distance that seems to be a standard even for the magazines and manufacturers. It really does't mean much though for what the rifle will do at greater distances. Someone...

I had a good experience with Rock Creek. I was in need of a 308 barrel and Mike Rock already had one and I got it immediately. It is extremely accurate, light, and doesn,t heat up.

I just thought some readers might like to have some information about my experience with my first carbon barrel. I had John Whidden build a 308 using an ABS carbon wrapped Rock Creek 24 inch 5r rifled blank. He used a Stilller TAC 30 action, Jewell trigger and one of his v-block stocks. I put an...

My 80 yo dad and a friend and I went on our first antelope hunt. We flew into Rapid City South Dakota and did the tourist things like Mout Rushmore and Deadwood and hunted three days in Western Wyoming. We all threee tagged out which as great. I got mine in the first hour shooting off a bipod at...

So far I like my March. I just got back from an antelope hunt and it worked fine. what I like is the compact package and accuracy of the erector. No other scope is this light and still has a 10x magnification range and it is great for hunting but basically target grade accurate. It passed...

I just got one. Waited 3 months for it. Looks great. Lots of mag range and good glass in small package. It will be mounted on a new rifle that is almost finished so I cannot comment in detail until I use it.

Thanks for the advice. I ordered an annealer and now realize that I needed a mandrel to prepare the brass before I turned it. I ordered a 21st century neck turner and mandrel as I don't really like the Forster one.

I am loading for 308 and have a Sinclair case length trimmer and a Forster that I use only for turning the outside of the neck. The problem is I know I do not have even neck tension even if the outside is concentric because the pilot that goes into the brass fits some brass and is very...

I have a 2.5-25x42 March scope ordered. Can't really say anything about it as it is a three month wait.

Thanks for the replies. I went to my gunsmiths shop today and saw my new ABS barrell and it looks nice. I think he is going to use a Stiller TAC 30 action. He had numerous others to see and truly they all looked nice. I liked the integral recoil lug and scope rail of the Surgeon.

I would appreciate input from members as to which Remington clone action they would recommend and why. I have an ABS 308 barrel en route to a competent gunsmith and would like to replace the action with an already trued up one like: Kelby Atlas, Defiance, Stiller, Lawton, Borden, Surgeon etc...

I have started at least checking all of my rings with an alignment bar. All of them needed lapping with the excepton of Ken Farrel rings on their picatinny rail. On one piece bases, once again only the Ken Farrell base fit without bedding. It hurts me to watch the uneven one piece bases...
