    Thinking about purchasing a Nightforce nxs 2.5-10x42 for my 375HH

    SWFA SS HD 1-6X24 is considered real solid, if 1-6 power & 24mm would meet your needs. Capped turrets.

    Let’s discuss the 6.5x55 SE

    Not sure of your kid's ages, but when my daughter was very young she transitioned: BB -> 22RF -> 223 -> 6.5x55 Initial swede range load to make her transition easier: - 100gr SP + 10.0gr Trail Boss - low recoil & muzzle blast, so great to acclimate She uses 100gr NBT/Partition +...

    Let’s discuss the 6.5x55 SE

    Yes with all the usual loading safety caveat's of 'start lower & work up' etc. I'm not sure of Tikka throat and where you'll end up with OAL. But I also should point out you probably don't need to push for absolute max speed - 2,800 fps seems to work very well. I have gone faster...

    Let’s discuss the 6.5x55 SE

    Anyone regret buying a 280AI?/Max bullet weight question

    I agree 280ai is very nice, but at least for me it's a handloader cartridge. Very little ammo on the shelf, and it's expensive. Clearly not a 'regret' as I knew that going in, but I do think about that when I see someone at the range with (relatively) inexpensive 6.5 Creed factory ammo just...

    Shooting School Recommendation?

    I also agree with 99% assessment. And that guy you might see struggling at public range 'sight in' day at least made an effort, but there are some who don't even do that.... Another observation on classes - I thought I was ready for my first Precision Long Range class (nope) but instructors...

    Who Checks Their Zero?

    Yes, and I keep records in my data book. Like others have said, since I started using good scopes with good mounts the zero doesn't change...

    Caliber for Daughter??

    that is a fantastic picture Kindo, congrats to the young lady ! !

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

    What was elevation? Daughter's 1:9 rifle shoots 69gr really well out to 500 yards, but we never bothered trying the 75 / 77gr because of slow twist ... thanks

    Lightweight rear rifle rest

    I just received a "Taylor was here" rear bag. I need some more time with it, but initial impression is very good!

    Base for Winchester Model 70 264 mag

    like thinhorn AK noted, most any reputable brand should work. The slot spacing and depth can vary on other brands - maybe commercial Weaver vs MilSpec Pic drawing dimensions ? The Burris has worked well on several hunting rifles for me, so that is just my preferred now. regards

    Base for Winchester Model 70 264 mag

    I have tried several but lately I use Burris Xtreme 2 piece base. Your Winchester 70 post 1964 long action should use Burris # 410605

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x42 vs 10x42?

    I have had trouble in the past with other brand's eye cups while wearing glasses, but for me Conquest HD 10x42 work very well with (or without) my glasses.

    Sold Kifaru Zulu - prefer Gen 2 solid

    I am still looking for a Kifaru Zulu. Prefer Gen 2 in a solid color (or mythical Desert Tiger Stripe) in very good to excellent shape, but open to other versions / colors. I know somebody here has my next Kifaru hidden in the back of their gear closet... Thanks, Tim

    Who hunts with a 10lb+ rifle?

    My Win 70 Classic Laredo LRH is GREAT in a box stand after a relatively short hike in. I myself definitely notice the extra weight vs a Featherweight on a longer hike though....
