Does the glare not get to you with that mirror?

You might give away your position if that 1" eye ever decides to shoot back!!!



Not dumping my S-III's.  I like them a lot.

I use the high polish to blind my competitionCool

"X" Ring at 1K in F-Class is approx 5" or 1/2 MOA and the 10 Ring is 10" or 1 MOA.

Planning to do some local F-Class shooting this year 600 yards.  Will be using the Kahles comp scope on my Open rig and the Golden Eagle (Vortex) on my TR rig.

Started off to be a "NERF" gun, but he didn't have enough of the orange paint, so it ended up being a Zombie NERF 308 XP.  Hunted with a guy who was a Florida Gator fan and he went nuts over it.

At least you got him to paint it.  I don't even want mine painted any more. I just want to hold it again. I have been asking for the handgun to be returned since October. Finished or unfinished. The way it is looking, That may never happen.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

There's a few of calibers that can get you out to 1000 yards better, well more efficiently, than the .308 Win.  
.308 Win does a lot of things pretty well, but is a master of none.....save marketing hype. Wink
I'm not a .308 hater either. 


No, you just neutered Black Betty! Poker

47.7grs. 2000MR Lapua palma brass 175gr Lapua Scenar bullet, CCI small rifle primers 2.815 COL 2725fps out of a 26 inch barrel. 600, 800, 900 and 1K.

I guess I'm just an ol' fart. Yes, i might get my butt handed to me on match day but I'll let you know Saturday afternoon how they did.  they do damn well out to 700.  I will take them to 1K tomorrow and shoot for score Saturday. Still can believe a brother would do that to his sexy.   

Late to the bash party, I see. Wink

My Brother, Betty ain't never gonna see shootin past 400 yards or so. Putting her fat ass on that diet was the best thing I ever did.

They have definitely spiked up.  I regularly (lately almost once a week in the emails) see 6.5 Cr RPRs advertised at $1299.


My next bolt rifle will probably be a 6.5 Cr.  Or when I rebarrel the Tikka Sporter I will go to a 6.5 Cr.

For my use I would go for the 6.5 Creedmore.

I have a 6.5X47 Lapua - brass costs $120 or so for 100 provided it is available and to make matters worse no 6.5X47 Lapua brass is available now. If and when it is available will the price increase? I guess that import duties, taxes, and transport fees add to the 6.5X47 Lapua brass costs. I can live with the pricy brass but not with no brass.

I have enough 6.5X47 brass on hand for almost 1200 rounds and when that event is past I will either re-barrel or possibly re-chamber. A 6.5 Creedmore reamer appears to be able to clean up a 6.5X47 Lapua chamber.

Possibly, Lapua has a huge contract to produce 5.56X45 and 7.62X51 ammo and has sidelined 6.5X47 production for some period. I really don't have a clue why no 6.5X47 brass is available now.
