    Got my first rifle, need some help, please.

    Midway and Natchez seem to always have "specials" on old model Simmons scopes in either the White-tail Classic or 44 Mag. I've had a couple of Whitetail Classics and they seem like a good value. I don't know about mounts for a Saiga.

    Looking for a budget Tactical Rifle to shoot SUB MOA

    Remington LTR My LTR in .308 has been sub-moa from day one with factory Blackhills and my current handloads. I added an Eagle cheekpiece to raise my head to get a good view through my Bushnell 3200 10 x 42. The stock trigger is adjustable to 2# with no reliability problems. I tried a...

    best 223 weight for 1x8 twist?

    Sierra 52 and 69s Both of these bullets shoot very well from my either 1:8 or 1:9 barrels. I am sub MOA with either . You can buy the equivalent from Black Hills as a relaod in their Blue Box line. If any relaoders are interested, 25.2 Varget under the 69 and 25.5 Benchmark under the 52.

    Benelli Super 90

    I shoot a Benelli in 3-gun and tactical shotgun matches. My usual starting configuration is a full 8 round magazine and one in the chamber. I always have two shells in a carrier at the ejection port. I also have an 8 round side saddle. I rarely load this to capacity as I reload off my belt...

    Ar Reciever: Which and Why?

    Bushmaster works I've used a variety of uppers, some factory, some my creation, but always on Bushmaster lowers. I've never had any problem with a BM lower and my total shooting has to be at least 15,000 rounds over the two lowers I used.

    9 X 23 Question?

    More 9 x 23 Info My wife and I have been shooting CP/Winchester 9 x 23 for over ten years. Her gun was built as a Steel gun and mine was built as an IPSC Open gun. Both built by EGW. At the time we went this direction, the 9 x 23 was considered a better feeder in double stack mags as they...

    sako 7mm rem mag

    Assuming that you really meant VX-III, that should be a decent combo. I'm happy with a Vari-X-III 1.75 - 6 x 36 on a Cooper 7mm-08.

    barska scopes???

    My LTR wears a Bushnell Elite 3200 10 x 40. You get Mil Dot and Target Knobs. The glass is good and I've had no problems with reliablity. I got mine from Natchez, SWFA also carries them, both under $200.

    30'06 ballistics question

    If you want to shoot at 200 yards, zero at 200 yards. there are too many variables to expect a 25 yd zero to be good at 200 yards. Issues such as scope height above bore, the actual ballistics of your load. I zero at 200 and make corrections for shorter yardage.

    Can a Rem700BDL be conveted to take a magazine?

    H-S Precision makes a detachable mag for the 700. I converted my LTR which had a BDL style mag to the H-S unit. It required minor fitting to the stock around the mag well. It works great. 5 and 10 round mags are available.

    7mm rem vs 30-06

    7mm Mag vrs 308 at distance I friend has a Win Model 70 in 7mm Mag and I have a Remington 700 LTR Model in .308. We have shot long distance together at the range and there is little difference when at 500-600 yards. The .308 was a little better probably because I was shooting a better bullet...

    Cooper Firearms of Montana PROS & CONS?

    I bought a Cooper Model 22 in 7mm-08 last year. It was the only one I could find in Eastern PA. The test target that came with the rifle was a .09" 3 shot group. They identify the bullet and powder used on the test target. You have to figure out the charge weight. I'm getting 3/4" 5 shot...
