    Back fire tv

    I do watch him mainly because he lives in my town. I don't agree with every thing he post. But I respect that he looks at thing different then I do. He is a younger look at things since he is about 38 years old I think. He seems do be worried about recoil a lot. But then he ruins his wife for...

    Magnum Research 22 mag semi

    I have a Magnum Research 22 mag semi. The end of the carbon fiber barrel is not threaded. I was told the end cap is hallow and cannot be treaded. So I have been looking for a 22 mag or a 17 caliber carbon fiber barrel. I want to use a can on the rifle. I found a few barrels but they cost more...

    leica HD-B Rangefinder/Bino

    I heard from a reliable source . That the HD-B's round up or down after 600 yards and don't give a true value . It is in the programming. When Leica was told this, they said that it was good enough for there customers. Anyone see this ?

    200 yard zero

    Thanks guys . I was pretty much going to move my zero out to 300 hundred yards anyway. Just wasn't sure on these extreme long range guns, what everybody else was doing ? This 408 is built on a EDM arms rifle. I have just changed out my 50 cal barrel and am setting up my 408 for some elk hunting...

    200 yard zero

    I am sighting in my 408 using 420 grain Rocky mountain bullets . I was think for such a long range rifle a 200 yard zero is nothing. Thinking of going to a 300 yard zero. What are most of you doing on these rifles?

    OAL question!

    If you don't have a custom mag box on the gun? You may not be able to load .020 off . I went threw this and I just load a few thousandths off my mag well. If I have a problem down the road. I may add a extended mag.

    Braked rifle hearing protection for hunting?

    In my state(Utah) it is not legal to hunt with a suppressed rifle . Only for non game animals. Not sure about Nevada? But shooting a rifle with a brake or not can still damage your hearing. Yes brakes are louder but a rifle without one is still loud enough to damage your hearing.

    maximum cartridge overall length feed Remington 700 long action magazine

    My floor plate on my 700 in 300 rum is 3.64. So that should give you a good idea. Thats why so many guys here on running the Wyatt extended boxes. Not enough room to load your cases close to the rifling. I believe the Wyatt Magazine allows coal of 3.825
