Thanks for the reply. Sounds like I'm not alone. I found I was more consistent with the CCI's too... it may have just been me concentrating on shooting rather than wondering if this round is going to be another FTF/FTE. I've heard good things about the Federal Gold series, but I'll probably...

Hey guys, what ammo have you found to work the best in your 41's? Federal bulk packs (the cheap stuff) are completely hopeless for me with at least one round either failing to fire or eject. I did just try a box of CCI mini-mags and they worked flawlessly! Any other brands out there that...

Hi Tod, thanks a lot for your thoughtful responses! Wow, those are some really good prices on the Nikons. I'll go read up on them now. I've been doing a little research and it looks like the longest range around these parts is 200-300 yards! Getting out further than 500 yards will be quite...

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply. Honestly, I'm so new to long range shooting that I'm not sure exactly what I need... 14x or 20x? :confused: . Everyone's provided some great info. Already, in this thread alone, we have folks on both sides of the camp. It looks like the 14x is the more...

Nice setup! Is FFP really needed? You could always go to full-power (where the mil-dot is accurate), calculate, then scale back if that's a bit too strong right? Have you ever found the downside to FFP (the reticle resizing and obscuring the target) to be a problem? So if you are using 10x...

This is all great info. Thanks a lot! I think the majority of my shooting will be < 600 yards, since I'm a little limited around where I live. I'd like to do some road trips and find some longer ranges at some point though. Is there much of a difference between the low magnifications...

Hey thanks Jim. I have read those articles... they're fantastic and I learned a lot from them. Zak seemed to recommend something in the range of 3-18x range. I was torn between the Leupold MK4 4.5-14 & the 6.5-20 models. I've heard a lot of folks say that 20x is difficult for novices...

Hey guys, I'm just about to order a Leupold MK4 4.5-14x50mm illuminated TMR scope and I wanted to double-check and see if you guys found it sufficient for shooting up to 1000 yds. One day I hope to have the skills to do it and I don't want to have to buy another scope! Any help is greatly...

Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a Leupold scope in the next few days to mount on a Rem 700 PSS (.308) and I need a bit of help. I'm looking to shoot everything between 100-1000yds (eventually). I was looking at this model specifically: Leupold MK4 4.5-14x50mm Illuminated TMR...

Thought you guys might like some pictures :)

No problem man, ask away :) Picked it up tonight and tried it out tonight. Awesome gun, but it really does NOT like Federal Bulk ammo. I talked to the guys at the range and they stopped carrying cus it was failing in a lot of their .22's (rugers & 41's). They only carry CCI now for that...

Hi all, I'm thinking about getting into long range shooting. I've been reading up on old threads on THR and the 700PSS in .308 is highly recommended. I'll probably be mating this with some model Leupold scope (to be determined). I'm perfectly happy going with this model, but I'd like to...

D'oh! Thanks for pointing that out! I completely missed it. Time to raid the piggy bank :)

Hey thanks man. Impact guns was one of the sites I was looking at actually. Notice how it says "Available to officers"? All the other 700P models on that page say "Available to civilians and officers". Impact Guns - 700PSS

Hi guys, I've been reading up on getting a rifle to do some long range shooting. I currently only own handguns and shotguns so forgive my ignorance. From what I've seen, the Remington 700 PSS in .308 is considered one of the best options for in long range rifle options, but from what I can...

Great thanks guys. Can't wait to get it and find out what a great gun it is and what a lousy shot I am :D

Fantastic! Thanks a lot guys. I really appreciate all the information. I'll go ahead and place an order for a 5". I've never bought a red-dot before (I borrowed a friend's Neos with one). Is there a particular model you recommend as a good companion for a S&W41? I was looking at the...

Hello all, first post here, but I've been reading up for a few months. I love the site - what a lot of great info from knowledgable folks! I'm in the market for a S&W 41. I got a chance to shoot both the 5" & the 7" models at my local range and fell in love with the gun. My wife also...
