    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    My hope is that they have a stable supply of 3-9 HD and 1-6 HD. I’ll deal with the turrets and the weight for a stable enough supply chain. Zero stop makes me happy.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    SWFA updated their website format and layout a bit. Doesn’t seem like one can backorder the 3-9 HD right now. The main banner says, “Our passion is optics. Our focus is you. Our journey is new. More to come in 2024.” Hopefully that includes the same reliability hallmark, more availability, and...

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

    I also got the rokslide special and my kiddo (and I) love it. He’s 6 yo and can hit the 8” gong consistently at 200 yds (from the bench). It’s just he right amount of kick for both of us to develop good fundamentals. The 6x SWFA is perfect for it as well. Will report if I can get a blacktail...

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

    25.0 gr AA2520 and 77gr TMK with standard SRP in LC brass loaded to 2.260 consistently shoots at 1” groups for 10 shots with my tikka. Followed the load development thread Form started. Worked great.

    Anyone carry their rifle in hand while hunting in the mountains?

    I rigged my own gun bearer using an old USGI Molle Canteen pouch on my pack wait belt and nylon strap/buckle. It rides in a European carry style muzzle up and belly up. It sits in that setup about 70% of the time. When in thick brush hunting blacktail almost always need gun in hand.

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

    My 5 year old has no problem shooting for several hours with a SWFA scope. It’s a little heavy for him to carry and weld safely, but he can operate the safety, bolt, and trigger just fine. Compact stock is super great. Trying to add to the thread if I can get eyes on a spring bear here in the...

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

    It definitely will I picked up a compact stock to put on my .223 tikka for my kiddo. Fit perfectly. If you need a different recoil pad on the compact stock, the Ruger American Compact limbsaver model will work with very minor modification. Standard tikka limbsaver pad is too big for compact...

    “Easy Button” 308 Varget/168 Grain Load?

    45.0 Varget and 168gr TMK to 2.80 coal for me in my tikka and M70. If anyone has a good PP2000MR load to get 178+ going pretty fast, I’d love to hear about it and get some specs.

    Hornady Precision Hunter .308 178gr ELD-X pull apart

    Agreed. I’m working on Power Pro 2000-MR as a high possibility. I also just found some Winchester Staball Match that I’m going to try. There isn’t much data and the Staball match looks much more similar to the powder in the Precision Hunter. We’ll see. Finally seeing variety and some...

    Hornady Precision Hunter .308 178gr ELD-X pull apart

    Hi All. Just thought I'd share a few data points from a recent disassembly of some Hornady Precision Hunter .308 178gr ELD-X. This stuff shots 1.25 moa ten shot groups for me out of my Tikka T3x Compact Lite. I'm getting 2590 fps on average out of the 20" barrel. COAL- 2.800" Bullet- Hornady...

    I have 45.0gr Varget, Sierra 168gr TMK with CCI 200 and OAL to 2.80 giving me very good accuracy. Haven’t tested velocity yet, so we’ll see. Going to try some 44.0gr Varget on 178gr ELD-M/X. Playing with Alliant Power Pro 2000-MR and CFE223 to see what I get with 178gr ELD. If anyone has...
