what color did you paint the action and barrel?

Thumbs up up to Robert. If you are referencing the reticle with the horizon, even with the gun level, at times the cross hairs will not look level. We are taught that to tell if the reticle is level to just reference it with the horizon. When a anti cant device is placed on the gun is when...

The conditions that I am shooting in, high wind on a regular basis, the 168's just don't hold up enough for a grand. I switched over to the Berger 175 OTM and I am having better success out past 500 yards. I am getting 2728 from the 175 OTM's.

For me, I wouldn't go with a fine crosshair reticle since I am not a bench rest shooter. I don't like 1" tubes and that is what is on the Nikon Monarch that and the 30mm tubes just perform better under adverse conditions. I like the Mil systems. I have had Nikon Monarch in the past and the ones...

I like it.

Stability becomes an important item to consider when going to the longer VLD's. Berger recommends a 1:9 twist when running the 180 VLD's. The extra .25" twist that you have should not prove to be to noticeable in your shooting. I do not see any problems in running the 180's out of your 1:9.25...

With a 7mm Rem Mag, I do not think it would matter much what bullet you used. What are the average weights of the whitetails that you are hunting? What ever round you use it should wad the deer up nicely. Honestly, I would use a heavier bullet and slow the MV down a bit. I have a relative...

308 win, 257 Wthrby, 270, to just name a few.

If money is an issue than yes, go with the Remington. If not, Definitely a Surgeon. Custom actions are just that, custom. They are about as near to perfect as an action could possibly be. A trued Remington is a great action and very accurate when done right, but it will never take the place...

Are you familiar with H&H Guns in Oklahoma city? I have a good friend who is a gunsmith up there and he worked me out a deal and dis the work for me. His name is Alex. The gun you see here was the last gun he did under H&H. He is working on a deal to open his own shop. I guess H&H set their...
