    Zeiss durability vs NF, Trijicon?

    I would have no hesitation about getting the Zeiss at that price. I have two V4 scopes in Alaska that get soaked and bounced around and a V6 on my Nevada/Idaho 7mm PRC. They have all been great. At a little weekend shooting class last year my V6 on a Seekins element was able to take the last...

    Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

    I can’t comment on fog but mine have been on three hunts. One of the hunts was in SE Alaska and they were soaking wet every day and any time I am hunting I leave them outside so they stay acclimated. I have had them for almost a year and just changed the original battery. My only complaint is...

    Question for precision and reloading geeks

    Update. I went out again today and shot from the prone position and I also added my Seekins brake. The Leupold was holding zero just fine and I was able to use a Ckye double pull this time. Being able to have the stability really seemed to clean things up. I was able to clang steel out to...

    Question for precision and reloading geeks

    Always a possibility but my Leupold scopes have always been good. I am going to load up a new batch and I will test at 100 again but I had two touching just before dialing out to 300. It was not submitted to a drop test yet.

    Tikka vs Springfield vs Seekings

    If you can swing it Seekins is a far better rig out of the box. I have had several Tikkas and they are fine rifles. If you are just going to buy it and shoot without changing or upgrading the Tikka is great. Having said that I now own two Seekins Elements and one PH2. If length is not and...

    Question for precision and reloading geeks

    Thanks for the great information. I am running right at 3100fps. I do not seek out speed but my SD and ES just kept getting tighter and tighter. I just stopped there when that group showed up. I am using Alpha brass and Federal LRP. In hindsight I wish I would have gone with SRP just based on...

    Question for precision and reloading geeks

    Yep. I know I will need to tweak things. I am shooting skills next month in Arbuckle where I plan to finalize my equipment to stay under 12 pounds. I will be the guy with my full credit card number, expiration date and three digit code printed on my shirt.

    Question for precision and reloading geeks

    Thanks Slick8. I was not compensating for the wind and I held the same point of aim throughout. I was looking for my grouping so I did not want to change or experiment. I was using a cheap little bipod I got from Fierce a few years ago. I am running the new Leupold Mark4 HD and it weighs in at...

    Question for precision and reloading geeks

    Thanks Andrew. It has a pretty mild recoil but do you think adding the Seekins brake that came with it will help as well. I plan on running it with a can if I can make weight but I have to figure out what bipod I want first so I was shooting without a muzzle device.

    Talk me out of a tikka

    I have had 3 Tikka rifles over the years and they all were fine rifles my friends had to have and they still use them. Tikka is never the wrong answer IMHO. I now have 3 Seekins rifles. When the Seekins shows up everything is done for you. It arrives in a good stock that was individually...

    Good optics for Tikka 30-06

    I put a Leupold VX6 2-12 on a 30-06 like yours. I have since sold it to a buddy that just hunts hard and does not geek out like we do or think much about optics. It goes in his truck and bounces around on unpaved roads, travels in float planes and hikes around SE Alaska. He is still working...

    Question for precision and reloading geeks

    Thanks for the reply. I did not know what to expect I just was hoping for a much tighter group. My point of aim with .9 Mils dialed in was center of target on all shots. It very well could be me but the rear of the rifle was on a heavy game changer bag. The reticle was solid. My bipod on the...

    Question for precision and reloading geeks

    I am not new but my experience levels is low at anything other than basic hunting reloading. I am working on a NRL-H rifle for my first try and shooting long. Let's see if I can be brief enough. I loaded 6 10 shot groups for my 6mm Creedmoor with 108 ELD Match and 105 VLD Hunting . My best...

    Long Range Instructors in Northern Nevada Region?

    If you are just getting started it’s perfect. I am in Carson and I can give you their instruction manual for the class if you want it.

    Long Range Instructors in Northern Nevada Region?

    I took a class at Shooting Performance Institute last summer in Minden. It is a weekend class and fairly basic. I wanted to take the class just to confirm my rifle at range since they have targets out to over 1000. If you already have the basics down you will not learn much but you do get to...
