    6.5 PRC for Extreme Long Range Hunting?

    A couple years ago I became interested in building a 6.5 capable of near 3000fts and the ability to take any animal I hunt out to 600 yards or so. I decided on a 6.5x284 and have 2 seasons with the rifle and I am very happy with the chambering as it has met all my expectations as far as...

    Help choosing a caliber

    I am considering building a specific varmit/predator medium to long range rifle, and I'm looking hard at 22 creedmoor. What I am using now as a "medium" range rifle is a 6 creedmoor which is excellent choice for predators at 600 yards and lethal on deer and antelope. I own a 6.5 creedmoor as...

    6.5 - 2900 ft/s most efficiently?

    I endorse the 6.5x284 Norma for all reasons mention and no need to repeat. I will add there are options for the 6.5x284 shooter that does not reload. For instance Copper Creek produces ammunition that does shoot sub .5 MOA, 2950fps as advertised through my custom rifle with 24'' Proof carbon...

    Anyone tried MK8 3.5-25

    I bet you get along well with the Mark 8. I just recently bought a Mark 5 3.6-18x44 with the TReMoR3. In no way is the scope in the same league as a 4-16x42ATACR in glass quality or turret feel, but its just good enouph I think I'll get along with it on a AR or hunting rifle.

    Finally broke down and spent the money

    Quality range finder and Kestrel with AB software. Then likely a scope upgrade.

    6.5 Grendel to a 6.5x47????

    I have a JP 6.5 Grendel that is my go to "truck ranch rifle". Its a fun little round. I get good accuracy out to 500 on steal. Thats as far as I ever play with it. Very good round for shooting things like porky pines from a couple hundred yards out of trees, small pigs, and coyotes. Never...

    Go to socks.

    Kenetrek and Kuiu with hunting boots. Been wearing Balega with athletic shoes. Pretty impressed with them. Plan to see if they make a boot sock

    FFP value?

    I own both f1 and f2 scopes, and I have to agree with most all Broz had to say. In my experiences, outside of running a 25 or 35x scope that one might turn down to 20x, a f1 optic is not a advantage in a hunting situation. I purchased a NF 4-16x42f1 ATACR when the optic first come out and put...
