    Difference in Velocities for .308 Barrels

    I’ve shot more .308 than anything else over the last 40 years. Lots of different rifles, different barrel lengths, different twist rates. As far as hunting goes, I’ve tended towards monolithic copper bullets in Barnes or Federal loaded ammo; 150 grain for .308, 165 grain for .30-06 and 180 grain...

    What problems have you encountered with your Blaser R8?

    In 2002, I was at **NOT**PERMITTED** where I saw Jeff Cooper’s personal R93 in .30-06 choke at the range. That gun was locked up tight and nobody could get the action open. It was finally taken to the Gunsmithy where they got the action open and reported minor damage to the bolt head. This is the only...

    Anybody removed the iron sights from a Blaser R8 barrel?

    Blaser USA removed iron sights, cut, crowned and threaded a .308 barrel for me; very reasonable price.

    300wm rifle scope

    I like the 42/44mm objective size in terms of weight, mounting height and it’s bright enough for me, but Leupold makes the 3-18 with a 50mm objective as well.

    300wm rifle scope

    I hunt with the 300WM a lot, have 3 rifles all with some version of the Leupold VX6 2-12X42 with CDS elevation turrets. The turrets lock on my zero, 200 yards, and are calibrated for my favorite load, Barnes 180 grain TTSX. My personal limit on a first shot at a game animal is 500 yards, but...

    Lightly Customized CZ 550 Magnum .375 H&H

    He thought the factory configuration was a bit nose heavy. Certainly the rifle balanced better with the shorter tube. I’ve long believed 22” is the sweet spot for a hunting rifle and we agreed that, following buffalo through the Limpopo bush, it was a handier package. He used Barnes 300 gr TSX...
