    Nikon Prostaff 5

    Bought a Nikon Prostaff 5 for a friend's rifle and was very impressed with the glass, adjustments and the features for just $309.00. Side focus and European style turn in/ turn out to focus crosshairs. ( I prefer this much better than exposing threads, just looks unsightly ) Sighted in the rifle...

    7mm-08 loads for a 20" barrel and a 1 in 9.5 twist

    Have a M70 and was not going to reload, just OTC, but have made a range friend who wants to help me work up a load using his equipment. He has never worked up a load for the 7mm-08 and we certainly can look at the manuals, but wondering if anyone has a pet load for this kind of rifle. Compact...

    Leupold Chinese Clones ?

    Boy I was shocked when I received an auction I had won on GB. I bid on a CZ 550 .308, rings, three magazines and a hard case and BTW the guy was "throwing in" a Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x50 M1 turret NIB that he'd won as a door prize at a Oil Corp. dinner. The opening bid was $899.00. I had looked ...

    Does anybody know what size bases fit a new FN Winchester model 70 Featherweight compact 7mm-08 ? Is it the WSM size. I believe they have stopped designating SA anymore, is that correct ? Thanks. :banghead:

If it looks sharp and...
