    Leupold Mk4HD 2.5-10 review

    Inhale, slowly exhale, focus on sight alignment, trigger squeeze begins, time my trigger break with bottom of my exhale, shot goes off, small bump in sight picture, reticle after firing is low. Get sight alignment again, repeat. Realize the natural out of aim is low and I am forcing the rifle up...

    Leupold Mk4HD 2.5-10 review

    I am owning it. I will try again in simpler terms. The bullets go where the reticle is when the shot breaks. That is what a zero is. Is that better? To make some feel better, here is the final group: ETA: To clarify: I HAVE NOT ADJUSTED THE SCOPE

    .25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

    A friend of mine has a conventional twist 25-06 and wants to use it for elk. We tested sme different handloads and the Berger 115 shot well. Has anyone used the 115 Berger VLD Hunting bullet on game?

    Leupold Mk4HD 2.5-10 review

    Totally disagree. How about this: if I shot off the paper purposely, would you count that? I will explain this again: I shot a few shots. Noticed my sight picture upon break wasn’t great, my reticle was consistently on the lower side of the target. So I Repositioned. Got better sight picture...

    Leupold Mk4HD 2.5-10 review

    If the reticle was held 2” right and bullets went 2” right, then I aimed at and shot the center, would you count the shots made to right? I wouldn’t count those. It’s the same thing. I was shooting the best I could, noticed that on my break my reticle was on the low side of the target. So I...

    Leupold Mk4HD 2.5-10 review

    I’m calling it good because the low shots is where the reticle was when those shots broke. How I was positioned on the bags was causing me to muscle the rifle/reticle a bit up; in other words, the rifle wasn’t going to sleep in the right spot. So I repositioned the bags a bit where the rifle’s...

    Leupold Mk4HD 2.5-10 review

    Went out shooting today with it. Rifle was in (as always) a cheesy cheap plastic case, think wal mart special. It rode in the bed of my Power Wagon while hauling ass on rocky desert trails, bouncing around plenty. I set up my folding table and folding chair and got to work. I started with dry...

    Leupold Mk4HD 2.5-10 review

    Useable. The stadia are pretty thick which can be good and bad of course. It’s definitely not a precision scope, but practical.

    Is it all Leopolds

    I think it’s me so far, need to shoot higher round count groups. Keep in mind the size of that bulls eye, it’s like an inch…, actually less. That’s about as good as I can see at 10x at 100 yards anyway. ETA: Sorry, your comment is funny to me. Yes the scope is moving, along with the rifle, and...

    Build components for lightweight rifle

    This is 7.5lbs as pictured. And it will be lighter and shorter soon with a Scythe suppressor and Blacktooth stock that are both inbound. Just killed an elk with it at 300 yards a couple weeks ago. Tikka superlight 6.5cm chopped to 16”, stockys stock, OMR Ti/carbon handle/knob, fluted bolt (by...

    Is it all Leopolds

    I did that right after the trip. It’s in my review. Loaded up some more of the same loads today to shoot again tomorrow. The ride to and from my shooting spot is all off-road, not nice forest roads, shit hole torn up desert rocky roads. Here is the review.

    Peak 44 Bastion Tikka Review

    Tag for future reading. I bought a blacktooth probably 2.5 months ago… right before they released the Bastion for tikka. Haven’t received it yet. I debated on trying to change the order, but also discovered the Echelon… I decided to wait until the blacktooth arrives and see how I feel about it...

    Is it all Leopolds

    I have a mk4HD I did a quick review on the optics forum here. So far it’s doing fine. I’m going out Sunday to shoot some more and see how it’s doing. I’ll lean it against my truck and knock over into the rocks or something and see what happens.

    Tikka T3x 30-06 - what 6 or 6.5 ?

    I would just sell it and buy a new rifle.

    Tikka T3 build

    New barrel is more work and money. Either he buys the tools or uses a gunsmith. Still will need a new bolt for the CM. Just flip it.

    Tikka T3 build

    Just sell the rifle cheap then roll the funds into a new 6.5CM. That would be the most expedient and cost effective way to do it. Even if you flipped the rifle for 650, you will only be out of pocket 150-200 bucks for the new rifle. Get classified privileges for $50 bucks.

    Favorite overall Suppressor

    Flow throughly/low back pressure designs are unnecessary for a bolt gun and louder than traditional baffle stack.
