I have that model. I like it well enough, but it is my first chronograph, so I have no basis for comparison. Every once in a while, it'll toss an oddball reading, but typically it does very well. The remote readout is very handy... much better than hoping you can read the display on the chrony...

Can't go with ya on the BFGs, Scotty. I read a lot of good (and some not so good) reviews on the All Terrain T/A KOs. I went ahead and went with a set on my 04 Super Duty and they are not fairing that well. I've got about 14k on them so far and the wear is scaring me a bit. I think I'm going to...

Oddly, I am especially concerned about weight for my upland shotguns, but not so much for my rifles. It could be that many of my rifles are thumpers. My go-to's are a 300Roy and 338WM (and a recent addition of a 375Ruger). I hadn't really paid attention to or noticed any of them being especially...

What a slacker I am! I was supposes to be offering up a range report. Well, my range reports usually suck! I'm a rather informal shooter... especially with handguns, but here's what I can offer so far. The trigger... believe it or not, it took so long to get it out to shoot (just did so about a...

The Universals were never GI issued and had a slightly modified action, utilizing dual recoil springs if memory of mine is serving me correctly. Values on the Universals were never up to what they were on the GI issued M1s but even at that, you scored one heck of deal there! I bought my...

I've got a 19-2 that I absolutely love. It was one of my old man's (his other being a Highway Patrolman that resides with my brother). The 19-2 I have was shot a fair amount but almost always with light 38 cast lead loads with only the occasional 357 going down the pipe. Finish is still...

Accept my apologies for coming in a little late to this party, but here's some pics of my m70 7WSM Frankenstein (started off as the Shadow thing with the black pimple laden stock and swapped it out for a featherweight). The scope is a Minox ZA3 3-9x 40 sitting in a set of medium Talley...

I guess I remain undeterred. I haven't noticed anything in my 3-9s but I have noticed it a bit on my 3-15 that sits atop my 257Roy, but I still need to get a scope on top of my 375 and the scopes in first place are the 1.5-8 and 2-10. I was considering another 3-15 for a Varmint AR, but have...

I had the opportunity to shoot a friend's XDm 40. It was excellent I like my XD40 and really like my Glock 27, but that XDm was just superb. I think you'll be quite pleased.

Sounds like you'd be well served with a 3-9. Anything beyond that would be up to you. I put the 3-15 Minox on my 257Roy for the express purpose of speedgoats out here where distance can stretch a bit... and honestly, a 3-9 would have worked, but CLNY had a killer deal going on the 3-15 at the...

I just picked up dies and brass today for the rifle. I am in unfamiliar territory here so any help would be appreciated. I am looking to go with pills on the heavier end of the spectrum... thinking 270s and/or 300s. I lean towards H and IMR powders and use 4350, 4831, 4064, 7828 fairly...

Hey WITeach.... both Fotis and OT3 mentioned varmints, but I noticed in the OP that you only mentioned the rifle having a varmint barrel. Is varmints your intended quarry (and what size critters?) or are you looking at game animals and the rifle just happens to have a varmint barrel? Also, what...

I'm looking at the same deal myself, Dub. I, however, have a varmint AR about to be built in the next few days that'll need a scope and I'm really liking the idea of another ZA5 3-15. The add on Binos would be quite the deal sweetener, although I think I'd rather just get the scope for 289...

I'll respectfully take the opposing option of Fotis and recommend the Conquest. Although there is a lot of truth to going for higher power on smaller varmints, a 25-06 is a lot of gun for smaller varmints. I'd assume you're looking to go for some larger varmints (bigger than whistle pigs or...

Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen them before. If I didn't have a few coupons for Cabelas to use, I'd be all over the brass from them. Way cheaper than Cabelas regular pricing.

By some off chance, if anyone one has some 375 Ruger dies, brass and/or bullets that's just laying around collecting dust, I might be interested in taking it off their hands.

First off, Idaho CTD is correct. I buy Mausers already sporterized, play with em a bit and sell em. I usually break even... sometime I make a few bucks or lose a few bucks, but I can guarantee I don't lose as much as one would lose having the rifle built. If you do build it, do it because it is...

Figures... I just bought the last edition a couple months ago :roll:

I had about 6 or 7 different ammos on hand bought a few others I didn't have. I didn't try any of the really high dollar high velocity stuff, but I also did not use any of the bulk pack garbage either. I'm pretty sure if this is an ammo problem, the gun isn't worth having. But as of now, I'm...

May need a few more ideas, up to and including unloading the rifle cheap. Tried it with a "proper" amount of lube. Tried it bone dry. Tried it drowning in lube. Tried about 10 different ammos. I and a couple friends have been trying to find something out of sorts with the gun and nothing's...
