I think that is going to be too much magnification for me. I am really looking for that 3-15 range. Sorry

Looking for a new scope for my 7 mag with a little more magnification. Currently wears a z3 3x10x42 getting bumped to my 30-06 or 6.5x55. I looked at the zeiss hd5 3-15x42 or x50 with rz600. They have them on sale for a pretty good price. I was about ready to walk out with it and looked at a...

Don't know how it shoots just bought it today. I am going to get the trigger done and a barrel recrown and I usually upgrade to a Williams extractor on these and see if it shoots. If it does I will figure out whether to bead blast or cerakote. If not I got it at a low enough price to spin a new...

Here is the picture. Blood wood explain why it is only on surfaces you can see. Not inside barrel or underneath action.

I will add pics when I get home. Never thought about blood. It could be it looks black in color not orange.

Just bought a Winchester 70 classic stainless in 30-06 for $425 score. Bad news it has black spots all over the barrel from the forend forward looks like mold but I assume it is rust spots, doesn't come off with oil. I made them take it completely apart to inspect. Action looks fine and barrel...

I have had a leupold 800 tbi for the last two or three years. Pulled it out of my bag for the season and the reticle had completely faded out. Sent it to leupold they just told me yesterday they are sending me a brand new 1200 in the box not refurbished for my trouble. That is customer service.

Does anyone have any experience with this scope?? I am looking at it for my hunting ar 6.8spc. It currently wears vx2 2-7. I have found it for an unbelievably deal just wondering if anyone had any experience with it.

My 85 finnlight in 6.5x55 wears a leupold vx3 2.5-8. While a great scope and lightweight in some long range applications I am left wanting. I have Swarovski z3 3-10x42 on my m70 7 mag. My ultimate plan is to put the z3 on my finnlight and get a S&b or z3 4-12 for my 7mag and move the vx3 to my...

I talked to swift they recommend starting at a minimum of .050 from the lands. I will let you know how it goes.

I have the Sako 85 Finnlight in 6.5x55 and love it. If you want the Sako in 260 or 6.5x55 call Eurooptic that is the only place I found them.

Use the same routine every time. Mine when shooting game is one full breath with my eyes closed to calm nerves second full breath with eyes open third breath in and let it one third out and a slow steady squeeze of the trigger try to feel it moving and the shot will surprise you as it should...

I am starting to load the 150 swift in my 7 mag. What are you guys thoughts on the jump for the most accuracy. Should I start at .030 or .050?? I am using norma brass cci magnum primer and will be trying h4831sc first.

Thanks for the info. I went to cabelas and looked the zeiss, vx6 and the swarovski z3. They didn't have the z5 or the Schmidt and bender. I have never had anything with magnification greater than 10 it seemed both were not as clear when at the max power setting do you have to refocus them for...

I need a new scope for my 7mag. It currently has a swarovski z3 3.5 x 10 which is getting moved down to my 6.5x55 sako finnlight. I have had several vx3 leupold and like them also liked z3 and zeiss conquest. Want to step up to a variable with 12-15 on the max end. Was looking at a new z5, new...

I am loading 120 grain ttsx's right now for my 6.5x55. Only with h4831sc. My sako finnlight loves the hornady superformamce 140 sst. If you can find it might be worth your while.

Thanks for the information everyone. Can't wait to get started. I will probably start with the ttsx. My rifle already loves the 140sst superformance factory load shoots about an inch best being 3/4". I have both bullets so I can always come back to the sst.

I love the 150 BT in my 7 mag. Took 3 deer with it last fall. Took one doe at 250 yards extreme downhill angle got a little wind on it and center punched the near side shoulder broke it clean in half and traveled on through out the offside shoulder but missed the hardest part of the offside...

Wondering if someone could run this for me please?? 6.5x55 lapua brass, cci br2 primer, h4831sc powder, 120 grain ttsx? And the same all of the above except for a 140sst bullet. Also this will be fired in modern 6.5x55 sako 85 action. I know I will have to work up to it but what is an...

That is kind of what I was thinking. May start out with 150 grain ttsx since it already shoots the 150 BT so well.
