I'll take the 118 pieces of Hornady 300WM brass.

Makes sense, I guess my concern was opening up the bore more than it needed to be, but I would guess lapping takes very little out of the barrel. Thanks

Maybe I am missing something here (quite possible), but why would a barrel that has already been chambered and used have to be re-lapped if he chooses to have it re-contoured? I understand that a fresh barrel will have to lose an inch or so due to lapping, I am just not seeing why he would lose...

Scam, he posted his number in another sale and when you do a search on it the number comes up with several scam alerts...

I have started to move towards ffp mainly due to the fact that the subtensions can be used at any magnifications. For me this has been especially useful in those fading last light shots where I have dialed for elevation but hold for wind. I can reduce magnification to increase exit pupil size...

Yes sir, from Texas and still in Texas and I grew up in Lubbock but live in the Dallas area now. We were in Lubbock from 75 until about 86 or so.

Just a quick caveat here, over on a site that has the word "hide" in it they have tested the tracking on several different scopes. While I am NOT a fan of a bunch of the people there, the actual testing done was pretty good. Long story short, the NSX scopes track very well and the Mark 6 scopes...

I have not used their Prime bino's, but I do have a set of the ED3's in 8x43 and I have been very happy with them. Are they comparable to a set of Swarozski EL's?... No, but for the price they are very, very good and I do not sweat taking them out into the field. I have used mine for the past 2...

I did the same with my Rem SPS Tactical. The Hogue stock had a lot of flex before I put the CF rods in. I simply went to Academy and found the two cheapest CF arrow shafts I could find and used good ole JB weld, worked perfectly. While in there I also bedded the recoil lug. It will now put five...

Thanks for the responses guys. Both barrels are 5R rifled so I am not going to run into any issues with bullets coming apart, or I certainly would not expect any issues. We are waiting on both the chamber reamer and the die reamer from PTG right now, so I have a little while to decide. As far as...

Vortex in no way had to do something like that...but they did. Pure class act. Stories like this are something that people do not forget. It seems like all we read about on a forum is when a person is b!tching about this or b!tching about that. Thanks for posting up a very positive experience...

A little late, but try swfa, I think they may have one in stock...

I do agree that the asking price is steep, but you should see what Schmidt & Bender wants for their new scope (I think a 3-27 or something like that), $7000..... And no it is not NV or thermal! One of the reasons that I can look at it is due to my military status, otherwise it would be out of my...

Thanks. I have pretty well gathered that they have no love here, but otherwise I have read nothing but good about them. While I would like to see what the Beast and the Razor I I are about, I do not see either being made available any time soon. Appreciate the response though.

I have been looking for a new scope to put on a 7-300WM AI that I am having built and have found the Steiner Military scopes, more specifically the 5-25×56 with the msr reticle. I have considered the NF ATACR, Beast, USO scopes and a few others. I know that some favor ffp where others favor sfp...
