    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Thank you for the explanation. When I have used my 6.5CM (143g Eldx or 140g TGK), I have always gotten a small entrance wounds with much larger exits. @Waldo320 glad you got a nice deer.

    Leica Amplus 2.5-15x56i Experience ??

    I need a new scope for a new rifle I bought. The Amplus has everything I want in terms of features for a hunting scope. But, I won't be scaling mountains or hanging around in artic conditions. Does anyone have experience with the Leica? I was looking at a Swaro Z5, but reviews are mixed...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Are you sure that the entrance wound was bigger than the exit wound? Usually it is the other was around.

    Savage model 10 upgrade questions (Stock, trigger, etc…)

    I used a MDT XRS chassis for my cheap 6 ARC and I worked great. The loading from the AR style magazine was outstanding. The Field Stock sells for $299 and is lighter than my XRS. MDT usually have a Black Friday sale on seconds.

    Would you buy this scope?

    Without a zero stop, there is a 100% chance my ADD will kick in and I will f @@@ something up. I am looking for that scope right now.

    Would you buy this scope?

    When I think of truck gun builds, I don't think of Nightforce NXS scopes being in the picture. I am a poor. On my budget, I think Meopta Optika 5.

    No. I want to be able to dial for windage

    Stirring the "oil vs loctite" pot

    I use the purple, low strength Loctite on rings because of the small screws.

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    I get your point, but most adults aren't going to get beat up by a 6.5CM enough to make a shot stressful. Without a can or brake, the 6.5CM can be shot all day accurately. With a can on it and in a typical deer rifle, a 6.5CM is a real pussy cat. For a little recoil, we get roughly two times...

    3x9x42 Nightforce SHV vs Tract Toric 2.5x15x44

    I am looking for a similar scope as OP except my 2nd choice is a Zeiss V4. I even ordered the NF, but cancelled before it shipped. The only thing holding me back is the lack of an exposed turret option. I would rather dial than use a reticle for longer shots. I don't want a heavy scope...

    223 69g TMK: best powder

    I bought a Tikka 223. I managed to get a couple boxes of 69g TMK bullets to load up. While I will do more testing after the season, I want to test one powder in one range session in hopes of getting decent velocity and accuracy (Moment of Deer at <250 yds). I don't have the time to do much...

    Two parter, Browning X Bolt and Round Choice

    I have a X-bolt Mountain Pro in 6.8 Western. It is extremely light for a gun having a 24" barrel. Without my suppressor, it kicks like a mule. If you go with a larger round, I would get a heavier version of the rifle.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I have Tallley Rings. For now, it has a Leupold VX-Freedom. It will do until I decide what kind of scope I really want for it.

    Not having heavy Eld versions in 277 is a mistake.
