    Federal 215 Match Instead of Fed 210m in 243 Winchester?

    ??? 😳 Are we limited now on how many primers we can have? If so I was not aware. Please clarify.

    Federal 215 Match Instead of Fed 210m in 243 Winchester?

    How is the accuracy with them compared to the 210m’s? And what cartridges are you running?

    Federal 215 Match Instead of Fed 210m in 243 Winchester?

    I’m about to start working up a load on a new custom fast twist 243 Winchester for PRS. Lapua brass, n160 powder, Berger 105’s out of a 21” Bartlein 1:7.5” heavy barrel. I have a smattering of primers kicking around but only like 120 Fed 210m left, 200 WLR. I have 1100 Federal 215’s that I’ve...

    WTS Defiance, Proof, AG Carbon, Hawkins, Bryant Custom Ultralight 300 Win Mag

    Sorry never saw this post. The included Talley ultralights are 1” low and the plan was to put a Swarovski Z5 3.5-18 on it.

    Custom Remington Model 7 DBM Transformation - Evolution #4

    I should have got the MDT instead of the DBM I added to the stock. I probably could have sold my pillar bedded stock and bottom metal for more than the chassis or kept it to be able to switch it back later. What did you add for butt stock and grip and what did they set you back cost wise?

    I carry Leica 10x42mm geovids so that helps.

    School me on Swarovski Z5 Reticle Options 😳 ??

    I like to stay on the lower powers in case something ends up right in front me. It's happened before. 18 is plenty and it's under a pound. Appreciate the info though. As for the apps, I'm not much of a fan. I prefer something standard like mils if I'm going to do that. I went through that with...

    School me on Swarovski Z5 Reticle Options 😳 ??

    I'm looking for the lightest scope I can get for reasonable dollars for mountain hunting and reasonably long shots out to about 600, maybe 700 yards max with a 300 win mag.

    WTS FS: NEW Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44P

    Wish this had a BT

    School me on Swarovski Z5 Reticle Options 😳 ??

    Thanks. I had to google the turret, but that looks like the way to go for me too. There's a 3.5-18 z5 on here for sale but it's got the very busy Christmas tree reticle that I'm not a fan of.

    School me on Swarovski Z5 Reticle Options 😳 ??

    I'm thinking of getting one of the 3.5-18 Z5's for a nice light optic, (no electronics) but holy geez all the options for reticles! Can anyone clue me and just make this decision for me? This is for an ultralight 300 winmag mountain rifle and general carry, and could be used at long or short...

    Custom Remington Model 7 DBM Transformation - Evolution #4

    From the sounds of things, that’s plenty accurate compared to other factory offerings these days. I cut my teeth in the wildcat and accuracy nut days of Glen Newick, but we hunted a lot of tiny varmints at LONG range so the more accurate the better. :)

    Custom Remington Model 7 DBM Transformation - Evolution #4

    Well I guess by make it shine, I mean shoot like a laser, many model 7’s in the XP100 form factor were used as Benchrest guns, but they needed to be trued and blueprinted first. That’s what I did to mine, and added a pinned badger ordinace recoil lug so now I can swap out my two barrels without...

    Custom Remington Model 7 DBM Transformation - Evolution #4

    My stock is 1 pound, 14 oz. What would be some stock options if I wanted to shed some weight here? Mine is pillar bedded with studs and a spartan adapter. But I think the adapter is like 1.4 oz or some ridiculous little amount.

    Custom Remington Model 7 DBM Transformation - Evolution #4

    With all the other options out there now though, do you think they would capture much of the market? Pretty much anyone can make a 20” barreled rifle now that’s light and accurate. My stock is the wood schnabel version and has been pillar bedded and cerakoted, so perhaps not as light as...

    Custom Remington Model 7 DBM Transformation - Evolution #4

    The 6 Creedmoor barrel I have is a Lilja #1 so a pencil barrel and the lightest they make. It’s fairly short. It’s 22.6” to the shoulder of the brake, so close to 23” plus the brake which makes it about 24.5” finished length. Considering the heavier barrel is only 18.5” to the shoulder or...

    Custom Remington Model 7 DBM Transformation - Evolution #4

    It had a feeding issue because it was converted from a 243/308 follower to a modified (shortened) follower with a spacer block at the rear of the internal magazine to fit the 6BR case. It might have even had a 223 length follower in there. I can’t recall. The work was done over 30 years ago. The...
