    Scope for european hunting rifle custom build

    That's what i thought too. But forums are made to overthink things, right? XD Jokes aside, why would you pick a nx8 instead of a march 2.5-25x52? The cost is almost the same here in europe

    Scope for european hunting rifle custom build

    At the moment pig hunting has been stopped due to the epidemic of PSA (don't know the name in english) but normally yes, i hunt pigs at any hour with a very nice bergara b14 in 308 topped with a 2-10×50i Khales. That setup is a killing machine

    Scope for european hunting rifle custom build

    Actually you are right my friend, the X5 has all the features i would like, i didn'tlook at it specifically for that huge elevation turret which is making the scope twice as bulky as it could be vertically. But it could be an option. At the same proce of a march 2.5-25x52, why would you pick the...

    Scope for european hunting rifle custom build

    If i am not mistaken that scope is non illuminated. And why that over the shv 4-14x50 f1 i already have?

    Scope for european hunting rifle custom build

    Yes, it seems like what i am looking for just doesn't exist a part from a march 2.5-25x52 SFP. I wonder why leica or khales don't put a freaking mil reticle in every hunting scope they produce. That's absurd. Once i talked about it with the guy in head of leica customer support for Italy and, a...

    Scope for european hunting rifle custom build

    I already own a khales 2-10×50i and it's amazing inside 250 yards, hust point and shoot, without any worry. Khales hunting scopes are unfortunately unsuitable for longer ranges, as almost any european hunting scope. Not even one european hunting scope has these 3 things tigehter: parallax...

    Scope for european hunting rifle custom build

    Already at 350 yards a roe deer looks very, very small in the scope. This makes it more difficult to see the details of its body and place the shot perfectly. Additionally, if you have more than one roe or boar, with such small trophies, you even risk to shoot the wrong one switching to the...

    Scope for european hunting rifle custom build

    Thanks for the reply. Since i didn't get many answers here, i did a little bit of research and i ended up looking at march scopes. I was alsmost spld on it when i saw a terrible review on youtube by a guy called C Does about the 3-24×52. He sounds experienced in reviewing scopes and, from his...

    Scope for european hunting rifle custom build

    I was sure someone would have wrote this. I choose 308 for several reasons: availability (here in Italy it is everywhere and also loading components are much easier to find), longer barrel life (i train with my hunting rifles, i often check zero after cleaning it and after disassembling it for...

    Scope for european hunting rifle custom build

    Hi, i recently got a new job with good salary so of course i suddenly ordered a custom rifle 😂 it is a 308, with a Defiance ga hunter action and bartlein #3 contour 22 inch barrel with a manners mcs-t stock. It will be amazing. I just have to choose a scope to put on it. The rifle will be used...

    Bergara b14 rifles after almost 10 years from the release, reliability/accuracy/durability/features!

    Look, i find bergaras are good rifles but a bit picky with ammo, at least in 308. Overall it seems like the company didn't manage to keep QC as good as it was in the furst years after the huge increase of the production rate. I say this because before 2018 you can't find a SINGLE complaint...

    Need help for a new custom barrel for hunting: contours, rifling, materials, blank vs prefit, etc

    I checked all the main options with sporter Bart and Krieger contours but i found out something weird. BARTLEIN #Sporter 2 .800 - .600 at 24 inch, only cromemoly 3.35 lbs taper per inch 0.0111 #sporter 2b .850-.630 at 24 inch, 3.6 lbs #sporter 3 .870-.670 at 26 inch, 3.95 lbs For 2b and 3...

    Need help for a new custom barrel for hunting: contours, rifling, materials, blank vs prefit, etc

    Thanks Jeremy, amazing answer. I thought that another advantage of reducing barrel lenght from 24 to 22 inches was easier and safer muzzle threading. Cool, so a #3 bartlein or a #4 Krieger seem to be a good choice and of course I will ask to the barrel manifacturer if there is anything wrong...

    Need help for a new custom barrel for hunting: contours, rifling, materials, blank vs prefit, etc

    I read it, thanks. Still most of the muzzlebrakes and silencers are threaded for 5/8, i think i will have to ask all these details to the barrel manufacturer. Now i just have to decide between Krieger and Bartlein. Krieger, with the lower taper of their barrels, seem to give more margin for...

    So: krieger or Bartlein? Bartlein look to have more taper, pros and cons?

    Need help for a new custom barrel for hunting: contours, rifling, materials, blank vs prefit, etc

    Makes sense. The more you go into the rabbit hole, the more stuff pops up! It never ends, love it! I think that the barrel manifacturer will be able to bring me in the right direction.

    As soon as i finish this fu..ing night shift in the hospital i will read, thanks. I also have to figure out what "belling" means, little bit of linguistic barrier here 😜

    Need help for a new custom barrel for hunting: contours, rifling, materials, blank vs prefit, etc

    Thanks. So basically i should look for barrels with at least 0.725 diameter at the muzzle with a 308 bore and 22 inch barrel? For curiosity, what are the reasons not to go thinner?

    Need help for a new custom barrel for hunting: contours, rifling, materials, blank vs prefit, etc

    Great news, thanks. For example, if i say i want to shoot mostly factory ammo around 165 gr with a boat tail design, like berger hybrids, he will have enough info to decide the custom dimentions of the chamber? That's very cool
