How many of you have wanted a better target for handloading tests or experimentation with various factory loads? I have tried a bunch of them and they always leave me wanting something different. I decided to make my own and I thought I would share with anyone else who would like to try them...

Ken Farrell makes them: Ken Farrell, Inc. -- Search results You can also request the base to be made a low profile if you find the base sits too high for your liking.

I ended buying the Near base. It should be here this week. Broz, you said the cross bolts could be a problem, would all of the rings I mentioned work fine with this base?

Broz and B23, Have you tried the Near base? What about Leupold and Badger Ordinance rings? I'm just considering all my options. Thanks.

I have a Nightforce 5.5-22x50 which I am putting on a Remington 700 in 270 Winchester. I have replaced the factory stock with an HS precisions vertical grip stock, but I still have the sporter weight barrel on the receiver. I want to shoot it some first before I decide on a rebarrel. If I use...

Learning, Thank you for the suggestion, if I go with the A5 style I'll probably leave the barrel channel alone even though it would look strange. Alaskan338Lapua, I'll have to find out about the forend, I'm not sure whether it is squared or rounded. BTW, I also love your governor :)

I have a Remington 700 LSS in 270 Winchester. It has a sporter weight 24" barrel. I plan to replace the stock and use it primarily for prone shooting in fields. I am looking at 2 different stocks, the sporter thumbhole or the vertical grip which looks like an A5. The vertical grip will have...

Jim, I am truly sorry for your loss. Those little Jack Russells have the heart of a lion and tons of personality. He's in good hands now and one day you will be reunited with him. I'll keep you in my prayers. Brian

Thank you, Reeper, I'll give those a try as well.

Rimfire, Sent you a PM.

Rimfire, Which 6mm bullets have you tried in the 6mm BR? How is the expansion at 500+ yards?

Thank you for the recommendations. I'll go with the 6mm Norma BR 1-8".

I am thinking of buying a Savage 12 LRPV, but I can't make up my mind between these two cartridges. For shooting groundhogs 500+, which would you choose and why?
