This is not an in-depth review, but I'll cover the general features that seem important in this style a scope. Yes, this scope is a winner with a brilliant reticle and only minor complaints. First off, if you want specs, you can go to the website at ritonoptics.com to see the details and info...

I just bought 2 boxes of Nosler ammunition in 25-06 with the 115gr NBT. I opened the boxes to inspect the rounds and noticed that they all have a cannelure. I remember loading these for the 25-06 years ago but do not remember them having a cannelure. Nosler's website even states that the 115gr...

Since you throw one long gun into the trash barrel, it becomes a 2-gun competition. I’ve never understood the Hunter Biden aspect of this arena, tossing a perfectly serviceable firearm in the trash. It seems to go against being a responsible gun owner. Yes, sarcasm is included. I couldn’t resist...

I couldn’t resist the deal on this 311. It matches my dad’s 20ga 311a that he bought in the early 60’s. My research shows the 311d was only made in 68-69, with the ‘69 models having serial numbers due to the congressional firearms law of 1968. The barrel is stamped “12V,” making it December...

Anyone know the history of the Redfield Widefield Illuminator series scopes? I recently acquired a Model Seven stainless in 308 topped with a 2-7 Illuminator. It's not the Accutrac, just standard adjustments with duplex reticle. It has NO country of origin anywhere on the scope. I plan on...

First off, I might have set myself up for this from the beginning since Glocks don't point naturally well for me. They point high, but I felt the larger frame and slide weight would help this issue. Let me back up a little and say that the 10mm is a fantastic cartridge when loaded to its full...

See my post from last year, same rifle, same load. viewtopic.php?f=49&t=26580 This year, the target was a very nice 4x4 blacktailk from 423 yards. Both bullets hit right behind the shoulder, and both exit woulds were about 1.5-2.0" in diameter. No tracking was needed, for the buck fell after...

I only hunted two mornings and did not see a legal buck. No matter, for I had the high mountain timber virtually to myself. It's quite strange only hearing one other vehicle driving on the roads and just a handfull of rifle shots off in the distance. My time is generally spent bow hunting...

My goal was to get stability out the stock since I plan on using this rifle. This is the 99 that I purchased here on the forum and finally found the nerve and a day to give it a try. I pulled the stock off and examined the extent of the crack. It actually was "V" shaped and extended into the...

I was considering one of these in 9.3x62, just because. Has any one handled one?

I will get a picture up as soon as I can. This was shot out of a 7 Rem Mag using factory Federal Premium ammo. My friend's son drew a youth tag and missed a buck with his 270, so he had to use dad's 7 mag that has counted for numerous deer and elk. The shot was 416 yard, slightly down hill...

There's always reports out there of "bullet failures" from any and all manufactures. This is no such report. I am not partial to any brand in particular, for I have loaded, shot, hunted and taken game with just about all brands over the years. I like bullets that work and that shoot well...

It's been made very clear that the M48 is not a Vanguard, nor are the parts interchangeable. Why don't we take the energy of this topic and move it to the Wichester M70, the one and only. Wait, there's the Pre-64, Pre-war Pre-64, push-feed, Black Shadow, Classic, and Controlled Round Push Feed...

I' tried to make it short and sweet. This phone has been a pain since day one (November 2012) and has never operated as expected. The SIM card was replaced in December which made the device operate at a pace more closely related to other smart devices. Recently, my service was either very...

I came across one that is rather minty other than a tiny mark on the floor plate. I've never owned a 264, and have a few tang-safety Rugers now, never had a problem getting them to shoot well. This one is not anywhere near the cheap but would be a nice compliment to my existing 77's in 243...

I finally got the M70 270WSM scoped with a VX-II 3-9x40 LR. I have a ton of load data for the several 270WSM's I've owned or loaded for, so this was just an attempt to see what RL-17 did in this particular rifle. I use RL-17 in the 300SAUM and the 300WSM primarily, so I wanted to see if I...

With Leupold doing a redesign of the VX-I and VX-II series, and dropping the Rifleman, many retailers have been discounting existing inventory. While the discounts online haven't been what I consider to be tempting or irresistible, the local Sportsman's Warehouse has some decent buys. I...

In a previous thread, I mentioned some details about my M700 300SAUM, some basic things like adding a B&C stock, taking the pressure point out, adding it back in, and some load data. It shoots 180gr Hornady's with IMR4831 and the 168TTSX with Magpro really well. I couldn't stand it. I had to...

I spent a little bit of time working up a load for a new Tikka SS fluted in 270 Win. Since a spring pig hunt in California is a possibility, a monometal bullet was my first choice, so the 130gr TSX got the nod. A couple range sessions showed that 58.5gr of H4831 was a very consistent load...

This is a rather extreme example, but it reminds us why we shouldn't become complacent when it comes to examining new brass. The quality control department certainly missed this one. The other 99 are great.
