I would definitely be interested in the elite hunters! I’ll shoot you a pm and see what we can work out. Thanks

Hunting season is fast approaching and I still haven't been able to get my hands on any Berger bullets. I tried working up a load for the 143 ELDX but my rifle just would not shoot them as good as it shoots the Bergers. I am in dire need of some 6.5 140 Bergers, I would prefer the 140 Elite...

I'm not familiar with the tract scopes, this post was the first I've heard about them. Looked them up, look like a nice scope. I have also heard a lot about athlon, have some buddies that are planning on trying them real soon, for the money I'm sure they are a good scope. However on this...

Does this scope have any holdover marks on the vertical post? If so are they 2 moa hash marks?

Gusd, I like your idea. I think I will keep my eyes open and try to find someone selling a vx6 and get a deal on one since the new hds are coming out. Rick, I've read several threads on each of these scopes. It seems like people like both of the scopes a lot, not much negative about either...

I am trying to decide on a new scope to put on my new custom rifle that I will be getting back from the gunsmith soon. The rifle will be fairly light weight, 7.5-8lbs with scope. I plan for it to be my pack around all day long range mule deer rifle. I plan to practice and play past 1000 yards...

Is this scope still for sale?

Interested in the 277. Curious what you would expect for barrel life with 170 berger? I assume velocities would be very similar to that of the 270-300 win due to similar case capacities, I just wonder if the barrel life would then also be about the same. What would a person have to do to go...

Thanks for all the replies so far. You guys have certainly opened my eyes to some new ideas, the wheels are really turning in my head now. Not gonna lie the thought of a hot rod like the weatherby or the 270-300 win excited me, I'm just a little indecisive right now, really trying to weigh all...

Hi Rich, I was referred to you from a thread on here. I am very interested in the 270 Sherman. What kind of barrel life do you expect with this cartridge? Im not a guy that will string shots together, but I like to go out and shoot a lot and want to build something I can enjoy for quite a while...

Man that 270-300 sounds awesome no doubt. I will definitely dive into that thread you posted. You guys have sparked my interest with the Sherman also. I like the idea of that a lot. Is it a pain to find a reamer for and dies for? I like the idea of doing a wildcat, but I don't want to get into...

What is the 270 Sherman exactly? Is it a pain to find components for? (Reamer, brass,dies, etc).

While I agree the 7stw is an awesome catridge I already have a long range rifle in a 7 mag. Shoots like a dream and actually get great velocity with berger 180s, love the rifle but it is a tank to pack hunting. I have the itch for a new build and there is just something about the 277 cal that...

Hey guys I'm really hoping for some good info and insight from all of you 270 lovers. I am currently getting ready to start a build and my goal is to build a nice 8.5-9 lb (with scope) med-long range hunting rifle. As of lately, I am infatuated with the idea of something in the .277 cal that...
