I'm not certain my comment will be of much assistance....but, I get 1" groups at 100 with factory ammo (Federal Fusion 165gr) without trying very hard from my LAR-8. The match trigger that it comes with makes it easy. I have not, and probably never will take a 500 yrd shot. If only because...

TXPatriot: I cannot speak to whether or not the Circuit Judge can handle hotter loads. However, at the risk of offending any happy owners, I was very disappointed in this carbine's performance. As a shotgun/rifle it does neither particularly well. At 50 yrds, on a good day, with factory...

I have a Chinese SKS-D. Factory produced to accept AK mags. The initial accuracy with stock sights was laughable. Installed a Tech-Sight rear sight, and now I have the expected 3-4" group at 100. Worth the $45 and was a very simple modification. Also makes sight adjustment 100% easier...

I'm a Winchester guy, and I have trouble arguing with that statement. Well stated.

I bought a pair of LaCrosse Snake Boots about 5 deer seasons ago. Still going strong and are my most comfortable hunting boot. They aren't as water tight as they used to be, but do fine as long as I don't do any prolonged wading.

Man, you guys have been great. Thanks for bringing all of this info to the discussion. I'm pleased to hear that it is most likely not the scope. Damn things are to expensive to replace all the time.

rcmodel: Thanks. That clarifies things even more. I'll try and give it a shot as soon as I can.

Wow. Stepped away for lunch, and did not expect the awesome number of responses. Thanks. The scope is an older Bushnell, 1.75-5x20mm. A friend gave it to me when her husband passed away. It has never been mounted, and was still in the factory bubble wrap when she gave it to me. It is...

Long time since I've last been here, but I need to turn to the High Road for assistance. I mounted a scope on a DPMS Sportical (5.56/.223) and went to sight it in with some Remington 55 gr FMJ. This rifle always shot well at 100 yrds or greater for the previous 5 yrs before I mounted the...

XS Sights are on my Marlin 1894c .357, and my WIN MDL 94 Trapper. After having an unfortunate occurrence with a Williams sight (probably my own fault) I've gone exclusively with XS. I have zero complaints with them. They are engineered to go in pre-drilled holes on your rifle, including the...

I wasn't a Glock fan until I fired the 17. My wife is a novice shooter at best, and she shot it very well, commenting how comfortable it was while shooting it. The concealed niche is covered with the 26, go with the 17. I plan to buy one soon as well.

Hodgdon Universal fits this bill perfectly. I use it my 12ga, as well as my 9mm, .45, and .40. Plan to use in my 10mm too. Great powder, meters well, and haven't had any trouble finding it. Only complaint is it seems to be a little dirty in my 12. According to my books it appears HS-6...

I use 32 gr of H4895 under Barnes TSX 150gr bullets. I get groups that meet expectations for the intended purpose of the rifle (close in/brush deer hunting). Never tried to tweak past that. It works well in both of my MDL 94s. Not sure if this qualifies as range ammo.

City kids or rural kids. I'm inclined to agree to a certain point. Different realities in different settings. I was a rural kid. Watching a deer get field dressed was just part of hunting. When I decided I wanted to hunt, the sight didn't bother me. I would bet that there are some city...

My $.02: I think every kid is different in the way they view things, react to things, or show the mental maturity to process what they see. I have a 7 yr old son and a 10 yr old daughter. They both shoot with me (pretty well too), and have no problem when Daddy goes to hunt. They both will...

Appreciate the feedback.

My 1st deer rifle was a bolt gun but, I've come to adopt the lever action as my favorite deer rifle. The balance and compactness of most levers are what drew me. Althought this deer season, I am making my first foray into the world of "Modern Sporting Rifles", aka ARs. We'll see how the...

Have any AR-10 like .308 owners fired either Herter's or Tula 150gr steel cased ammo? How 'bout Wolf or Brown Bear for that matter? I have an RRA LAR-8 and wanted to start building a stock of bulk ammo. The prices are decent. I know they are 'dirty', but really want to know if they cycle...

Not to turn this into a reloading thread, but I found reloading for the short, fat case a big PITA. I made it work, but I had trouble resizing them for some reason. Also had to buy new a new funnel kit because of the fat case. Had issues fitting the case in my Franklin Arsenal bullet puller...

I have a BLR. Recoil is stout but MORE than manageable. If you can shoot an Encore in '06 you can handle a 300 WSM. Recoil varies by person. I love mine. Works well on deer with the right bullet, and my BLR shoots 1" 3 round groups @ 100yrds. If you get a BLR (not sure if on your list)...
