My experience with Leupold service is that after a few weeks you will get your scope back with a letter saying that there is nothing wrong with it. Now at first blush, you may find this answer inadequate. However, chances are that there is in fact nothing wrong with your scope. Generally, I've found...

"Critter" and Jim joined me for a range session today, despite the 100+ degree temperatures. If you don't know Critter, he's got a real thing for The Best rifles and scopes. Jim has a real thing for hitting small targets a long way away. We had a great time! Critter with his USMC inspired...

What at the brands of scopes and the other good things we like to know... power, are they clear, etc. w Both scopes are made by US Optics. Top one is SN-3 6-30x58 on a 35 tube, quite old and no longer available, but near perfect resolution and clarity. No kiddin' you can count the hairs on a PD at ...

The best thing to use is the experience of others, so I went to the web looking for recommendations. That's how I found this site. 1. In general I tend to use Federal Match Primers for all my loads as they tend to have remarkable consistency. I even have Federal GOLD Match for my long range precisio...

Dave.....but would you rechamber to 204? Didn't think so......

As a matter of fact, I do have it loaded with very excellent 125 grain plastic tips, which are devastating on small gamers.

I actually have a Browning made 1895 Winchester Carbine in 30-06 on which I mounted a Scout scope forward of the action replacing the rear sight. While 30-06 is not a high intensity cartridge, it does fairly well, and frankly much better than the .308 class cartridges. Being that it is a magazine ri...

This question is not as simple as it seems at first blush. This is a question of the torsional deformation of an indeterminate structure under dynamic loading. 1. However, there is no doubt in my civilian mind that the point of impact will change. 2. Having said that, then the next question is how m...

That may well be, but since then we have seen neither hide nor hair of him.

Food sources have been removed as well.

The 7.62 Nato round is one of the most wildcated rounds in the history of the world. Some of those are 6mm-08 (243) 6.5mm-08 (260) 7mm-08 (7-08) 7.62-08 (308) 350-08 (350) Big thing is the availability of had loaded bullets and factory ammo for each. While I have a .260, if I had it to do again, it ...

Chief advantage of the 1FP design in my view is that the calibrated reticles (those with angular subtension information in the reticle) do not loose calibration as power is changed. This is a significant benefit to those (mainly professionals) functioning under operational time constraints or mental...

Walked out side Saturday Morning to find my garbage displayed throughout the yard. Mmm, I thought, this is something new here. It seems a mature black bear, had invaded the neighborhood (rural). Well, the neighbors already new about it and even had pictures of the culprit. A lot of buzz in and about...

While at first look, the BORS appears interesting. However it does have some weakness. 1. While it deals with bullet characteristics, barometric pressure and temperature, there is no mention of wind velocity which must apparently be calculated and entered manually, as does RATT (Range to target whic...

BTDT

After first day we went out early, and didn't shoot in the middle of the day.

Also, problems during heat with LRF, which tend to be affected by the heat.

Higher temperature air may also change external ballistics at long range.


Good luck.

Dog father's PD hunt in 2002. Engaging prairie dogs at 700 on the Belnap reservation with 100 grain Sierras in .260. Scope is 6-30x58 35 Tube SN-3 on custom prewar model 70. Note white masking tape on elevation knob. This was a primative range card marked with references like bushes, and other land ...

Seems I just inherited 10 Boxes of "Federal Classic .22 Long Rifle Birdshot" which reportedly has No. 12 bird shot in it.

Has anybody used it? What is it for?

I know Rick, you use it for flying Squirrels , but anybody else?
