Finally have an update. First off, thank you to everyone for the input. It was very helpful and helped to pinpoint the issue. Had him check his mounts and they looked good. He returned the scope and got a new one. Still a Vortex Strike Eagle. We went out to the range and tried some basic soft...

Recently I went out with a friend who finally broke down and bought an AR. For Christmas he went to BassPro and bought himself a Black Rain Ordnance SPEC-15. It has a 1:8 twist. He didn't want to go with a "cheap" AR but also didn't want to break the bank. He bought a Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18x44...

If youre staying at 300 yds I would say a 223 would be great. Ammo is inexpensive and there is little recoil, so you can shoot all day. You can learn good habits and improve all without breaking the bank. You could get an inexpensive heavy barrel varmint rifle and upgrade stock and trigger. That...

Remington 700 ADL in .223 Rem. 23.0gr H322 with Hornday Z-Max bullet.

My best load is 28.3gr H322 with Hornady V-Max 110gr. They have an average velocity of 2500fps out of my 16in Daniel Defense barrel. 5 shot group was under 1 MOA at 100yds. Ive had really good success with that round in my rifle. I want to get a 90gr bullet and bump up the velocity so I can...

I think the 3 rifles you listed are all great options for a truck gun. For me if it was going to be a beat up truck gun then I would mostly look towards price. Whichever I could get the better deal on. With that said, I think the Ruger would give you the best deal. As for caliber, you cant go...

A simple set of bags would be easiest and give great results. Ive used a sled before when sighting in larger rifle calibers. Shoulder takes a beating without it. Freehand sounds like madness when trying to sight in a rifle.

W231 and H110 Are the two primary powders Ive used for 357Mag. Both have preformed very well.

Ive had really good success with Hornady V-Max 50gr (and Z-Max) with 23.0gr of H322. Out of my Remington 700 ADL Varmint they are leaving the barrel at 3150fps. They are 3/4 MOA at 200yds. They would probably be better if I practiced more and need to get a better stock (flexes as it gets warmer...

Got some shooting bags from Scheels a few years back. Have worked great. Sometimes need a bit more in the front so I have a sock filled with dry beans to give it a few more inches. Simple and cheap.

I was working at Cabelas at the gun counter and we had many funny stories. But my favorite was when we had this guy mid 50s come in with a friend. He was talking loud and spewing false information. Then goes on to say that he didnt even need a gun. He could hit a person at 300yds running with a...

I love the bulk 55gr SP from Hornady. You can find them for pretty cheap. Ive found them as cheap at $0.08 a bullet. I use H322 and they have been great.

Anything pistol I go with W231. For 223 Ive been using H322 and it has worked great. Would be a great powder for 308 as well. For 300win H1000 has been good for me.

I have 2 Winchester SX3's. 3 1/2in 12 guage and 20 guage. The SX3 has the same internals as the Browning Maxus. Youre just are not paying for the name. I recommend the SX3 to everyone. Mine has been super reliable and accurate. Ive used them for sporting clays, dove, goose, duck, pheasant, quail...

270 Win has been good to me for years. Will take all game in the lower 48. Even took a black bear in Canada a few years ago with it.

Winchester 231 is my go too for all pistol loads. A pound will last for quite some time. I use it for 9mm, 40S&W, 45ACP, 38 Spl, 357 Mag. Works great.

223 is an awesome caliber to learn on. Ive got a Remington 700 ADL. Got it on a steal of a deal from Cabelas. It has fast become my favorite rifle. Put a good scope on it. Just need to change out the stock with something more firm. Its sighted in out to 600yds. I got the varmint heavy barrel. I...

You cant go wrong with a simple Lee kit. It is very basic but can at least get you started. It can handle all pistol and small rifle. Then this allows you to upgrade to better equipment. First upgrade is a new powder scale. The Lee scale is garbage. They money you save getting the Lee press you...

Its free game. If they are going to throw it away or just leave it behind. I am more then happy to grab it. When I was first married my wife and I would go to the places people liked to shoot (fields, not a real range) and we would walk around and pick up all the brass. It was great during deer...
