I went for years without a rangefinder. Hated stepping off yardage knowing it wasn't accurate. When I took the plunge last year I went with the leupold 1000 tbr dnr; i had to have a red display. And the leupolds display has 3 brightness levels. "high" is too bright at dawn or dusk but perfect...

I have both of these bullet types in premium ammunition for my 25-06. The Barnes is TTSX. I was wondering, would the partition have the same point of impact or would it be slightly different due to the flat base and other variables? It would be great if it had the same point of impact, I may...

I ended up shimming the rear ring. Keep in mind these are ringmounts; no bases. But everything worked out perfectly. I only had to fire one shot today and thanks to noting my reticle location on the grid pattern before shimming the scope, It was dead on. I will include a couple pics...

I just sighted in my 25-06 with 100 grain barnes ttsx. Everything went well, the accuracy is 3/4moa from my sako 75 finnlight. But it was shooting in the dirt at first and I had to adjust 20 inches elevation. But thankfully I had enough adjustment to get a great 1-inch high zero at 135 yards. Do...

Thanks a lot PPR. Korhil, I have seen multiple owner testimonials of Tikka rifles. I saw several show up on forums and the owners posted their targets on the thread as well. It seems like most Tikka rifles will shoot groups inside a half inch; or a little over. That's always impressed me...

Here's the rifle Sako A7 Tecomate 270 WSM w/ Zeiss Conquest HD5 3-15x42mm w/ Rapid Z800 reticle A couple of things I love about the rifle: 24 3/8" inch barrel, which is perfect; and not too short. Also, The barrel is not skinny like many hunting rifles; it's actually a Magnum Contour; all...

I think I forgot to mention, these cartridges were factory ammo. Federal premium trophy bonded tipped completely nickel plated cartridge including the bullet as well as the brass. I bought several boxes at Bass Pro and a few more boxes from the sportsman's guide. Also, I have two different lot...

Thanks a lot for the replies guys! I am not sure about the TIPPED Trophy Bonded bullets being available as reloading components. You would think they would be though! I read on a terminal ballistics page; that 130 grain bullets deliver super fast kills at 300 yards +; and at 400 yards they...

In our lifetime, my Dad and I have shot many times past 300 yards at both targets and live game including coyotes and prairie dogs. But we've never tried shooting at 400 yards. I just put a nice rig together; it's a Sako A7 Tecomate in 270 WSM with Durasight Z2 Alloy steel bases and TPS HRT...

I first got serious about trying one when I saw one one Guy Eastman's Weatherby in a mule deer hunt video. It helps on my rem. model 700 light varmint, and I put it 3/4" from the end of the muzzle; which is what is recommended for a free floated barrel. I think it would not look near as bad if...

In a couple of days I will be trying my sako a7 tecomate 270 wsm at 300 and 400 yards for group. Last time it was holding sub-MOA accuracy at 300 yards; with a 3- shot 2- inch group(.66 MOA @ 100yds); I had good results placing a barrel de-resonator on a skinny barrel 22-250; and I was wondering...

I was looking for a good rifle for my first DIY mule deer hunt out west. I had my heart set on 270 win but I loved the sako a7 tecomate and they only make it in 270 wsm and 300 wsm. So I got the 270 wsm. No regrets. I was initially concerned about the recoil but it is very tolerable. I can shoot...

Hi guys I am new. Just put together set up for a future mule deer hunt. I have always loved rifles with long range ability and 25-06 has been my favorite; but I stepped it up a bit. I was looking for a good rifle .270 win; but when I saw a sako a7 tecomate I had to have it. But they only make it...
