What is the weight on these scopes and will they be fixed for parallax or have parallax adjustment? I would also love it if they would come out with a zero stop technology similar to Nightforce. Anyone know the answers to these?
I have the Sinclair press and I load using it for neck tension and seating. You may find you like neck sizing only but from my experience the brass tends to grow in terms of headspace with each firing leading to disparate headspace lengths from piece to piece which of course results in...
Wincheringen,
I guess I don't know how to respond to a comment like that... I have other rifles that shoot groups that are pretty good as well but this rifle is special and worth every penny that I paid to have it built. Few rifles fit a man like a glove and recoil so little that they make...
Dr. Mike,
Thank you for the help. I am going to retry today off of bags and see if that doesn't change it a bit. You have saved me some trouble here perhaps...
Again, thanks for the help!

Did some shooting today with my 280AI from a Caldwell lead sled. I was shooting all over the place which is a rarity but has happened to me twice now. I noticed that the ground was a bit moist and the rear cleat of the rest was digging into the ground providing some "bounce" upon recoil. I am...
Frankm,
I have never been out that way but I will have to give it a shot. I love the 708 cartridge. I had one in a Rem titanium but could never get it to shoot. I think the barrel was bad. I kick myself for not having Tony throw a barrel on it. It could have been a darn nice rifle.
Let me...
frankm,
Tony is the bomb! He can be a little slow (he will hit me for saying this) but he is a stickler for the little things and he builds very accurate rifles. He has built several rifles for me and they are both tack drivers. Right now I have him building my son a 6.5 Creedmoor hunting...

Has anyone tried H414? I have tried H4350, IMR 4350 etc. All shot well but the H414 surprised me. Here is what I shot today (5 shot group) in a quartering 5-10 mph wind off a bipod. Chrono'd at 2820.
Guys, I decided to shoot the 6.5 Creedmoor I had built (listed in the classifieds a couple of weeks ago). Of course I have had no hits and have a lot of money into it so I am not that willing to let it go.
I wanted to see what it would do. Here is a load of 42.5 grains of H414 with 140...
Agree on some calibers but not on others. Nosler brass for my 204 is excellent. For the 280AI it is consistent but far too soft. I get several firings before the primers start falling out. I have posted this before so many of you are aware. No pressure signs etc. and I have compared the...
JD338,
Hoping to push the envelope out to 1000yds. Going to try Berger VLD in the 140 and Lapua Scenar in the 139. I have also purchased 130 grain VLD's and Scenars in the 123 configuration.
My buddy and I built identical rifles and he finished his 3 weeks ago. Shooting H4350 and Berger 140...
Guys,
I just completed my new rifle build. Haven't shot a round downrange but I am hoping it shoots as well as it should. Here is what I have...

re: carbon wrapped barrels:
I spoke with several companies, very well known for the quality of barrels (all the known names) and all mentioned that it was hit or miss in terms of accuracy with them. I should mention that these were companies that were suppliers of the barrels. These companies...
Good luck with the Stiller Action. My friend and I just built two long range rifles in 6.5 Creedmoor configurations -- chose the Stiller TAC 30 and had a few problems you might want to check before handing them over to the gunsmith. First off, the actions were sent with tooling marks, and they...
Oldtrader3,
While I agree that I, nor any of the folks posting on this site, have access to such equipment, evidence contrary to basic assumption has been met (at least sufficient to answer the question as to whether chamber pressures were exceeded beyond the normal range). A hardness test...
