Anyone who can state the differences with the lower priced VX-3 ? :mrgreen:

Scotty, no doubts on R93 accuracy, at all ! I personally saw it putting 4 bullets into 1 hole (and I mean 1 "normal" bullet hole - no clover) at 100 meters with a heavy barrel in 6 Norma BR. Two things get me about the R93 : 1) No set trigger....you know...Us European :grin: 2) That damn...

I am gathering information on a new rifle which (hopefully) I will be getting towards end of this year and I would really like this rifle to be a modular/take down type. For my hunting I need my rifle to be dismounted to the minimum necessary, to be packed into my rucksack until I reach the...

Touching then...? :mrgreen: I would like to get an overall length that goes well with powder density inside the case, even though not looking for a load too hot, so the more the bullet's out......the more powder's in..... :mrgreen: :wink:

I am building up a target load for my 6,5x57R, using Lapua 139 grs. Scenar bullets. How far do you suggest I keep the bullet off the lands to start ? My barrel twist rate is 1:8" Thanks :wink:

The one on the 5,6x50R Mag......I do not seem to find it anymore.... :roll:

Does any of you Folks have hands-on experience with this scope ? I like the idea of adjustable turrets not being in the way when hunting (like the M1 would, I guess...) and also having a lateral parallax adjustment knob. I have a VX-3 3.5-10 x 40 and I am quite happy with it. Is the VX-7...

:lol: JD, what reticle do you have on that scope ? Do you Guys think a Non Illuminated TMR will "stand out" well enough for hunting purposes in "darker" conditions (dawn & dusk) ? TY :wink:

Some target shooting and some hunting on the mountains (Chamois and Roe deer) when long shots will likely to be needed. :wink:

That's a nice rifle you got there (or should I refer to it as a "cannon" :grin: ). The 6,5-20x50 Mark 4 is also a strong candidate. As a matter of fact, hunting regulations here in some areas do forbid the use of more than 8x in a hunting rifle and thus I might be tempted to go for the...

I am seriously looking at this scope. Does any of you have direct experience with this scope ? Considering its price, I would not want to go wrong. Personally, I have a 3.5-10x40 VX-III with BC Reticle (another league, I know...) and so far I have no complaints. Before I start to save the...

I am starting considering the TIKKA rifle to be my next choice. I have looked at their website and saw there are a few models offered. I'd go for a polymer stock, but the choice is still too wide to make up my mind and thus I will "pull your jacket".... Questions : - Stainless steel or...

Scotty, it might be that in the future I'll have some chances on Red Stags, which I still think the .270 WSM can handle with a 140 AB.... Very good caliber indeed ! ...and in some aspects, I'd prefer it to the .270 (mainly for bullet selection). Unfortunately, I believe there is no...

I am getting interested in these WSM thing...and I was wondering which one of the two would be a wiser choice. I hunt Chamois and Roe deer in the mountains up to 7000 feet, thus I think the "punch" factor won't be a problem for either of them. My concerns are more towards Accuracy at long...

I am starting to get interested in this caliber and I am trying to gather all the information I can. I have noticed that not many manufacturers chamber this caliber, even though they offer the other WSM (.270 and .300). Why's that ? Do you know what brand/model of rifle do offer this caliber in...

Main game would be Roe Deer and Chamois (similar to your mountain goat) and even Stag in a (hopefully) short future. I hunt in the Alps and I often need to shoot through valleys and there's always some wind drift involved. I have read this caliber should be quite good in penetrating the...

Hi Folks, I am thinking of getting a new rifle in this caliber (later on this year) for long range hunting on deer-sized game. What info can you give me on this ? Does anyone have practical experience with this caliber ? Am I making a good choice or there's something better out there ? I am...

Hi Folks, I am getting started on reloading this caliber, which will be shot in a break-open single shot Blaser K95 with 26" barrel length. I have a doubt on powder choice (within Vihtavuori brand). With the following components : Nosler BT 140 grs. bullets..... RWS Cases.... Large rifle...

Thank you All for your detailed answers. :wink:

Hi Gents, a friend of mine has just bought a SAKO 75 in .300 WSM for hunting Red Stag (European deer) and Chamois (European Mountain goat) and I would like to help him out in finding a good load. Powder choices : As far as availability, I would prefer a Vihtavuori Powder and...
