Nightforce SHV 4-14x56
I am looking to get a scope for my 7mm Rem Mag Seekins PH2 and I'm stuck between a Leupold VX5 3-15x44 and a Nightforce SHV 4-14x56. Eurooptic has the Nightforce for $749 and the VX5 at $799 (demo models) and I was initially all for the VX5 but having seen that they have a Nightforce for a... -
Variation in initial/max weights for reloading manuals
I've been reloading for about a year now, mainly .308 and 7mm Rem Mag and I have noticed that there is a big difference between manuals in initial grain weight and the maximum weight. I have a lyman (previous year edition) and nosler (not sure off the top of my head what edition). I use mainly...- WVmike

Muzzle Brake for Seekins PH2 7mm Rem Mag
Trying to pick out a brake for a Seekins PH2 in 7mm Rem Mag and as with almost everything nowadays the ones I've looked at are out of stock. I came across the American Precision Arms Gen 3 little bastard and was looking to see if anyone has had experience with this brake? It has 8 small... -
Leupold Firedot
Looking to pick up a scope for a Seekins PH2 in 7mm Rem Mag before the season this year and was debating on which scope to pick up. I already have a VX-3 3.5-10x40 on my Rem 700 in .308 and it does a good job, I don't think I've looked through any leupold without not liking it but I was looking... -
Leupold spotting scope
Does anyone have any input on the Leupold SX-2 Alpine line? I'm looking to get a decent spotting scope for this season. Ranges for shooting can be anywhere from 50 yards to 400 yards on whitetail where I live in WV. A spotting scope would be nice to pick them out of the timber and brush at... -
300 blackout
Looking to pick up another ar upper to use for home defense, close range shooting and maybe even using out to 200-300 yards. I already have a 20 inch Wilson combat heavy barrel in .223 wylde for further shots but I would like to get a 16 inch upper in either 5.56 or .300 blackout. I’m ok with... -
Scope for Seekins Precision PH2 7mm Rem Mag
I just put a Seekins ph2 in 7mm Rem Mag on layaway and I’m deciding on what optic to put on it. I like leupold, having a 3.5-10x40 on my Rem 700 .308 and would like to have another one. I’m not a huge fan of vortex or athlon optics. I wouldn’t mind a trijicon ascent or vx3 or even a under $600... -
Hornady Bullet Comparator
I have been reloading for a little over a year and my buddy the other day gave me his Hornady Bullet Comparator since he stopped reloading. Does anyone else use one of these and from reading up on different techniques to use for more repeatable results, they are fairly useful with precise...- WVmike

Rifle Brand for 7mm Rem Mag
I currently have a Weatherby Vanguard 26' 7mm Rem Mag. I'm thinking about trading it next year when I get a bonus from work and I have already dedicated alot of time and development in loads to go completely away from 7mm Rem Mag. I've never bought myself a super nice rifle that I could use for... -
Bullets for 7mm Rem Mag 1-9 1/2 twist
I've currently been reloading for my 7mm Rem Mag Weatherby Vanguard with a 26 inch barrel 1-9 1/2" twist. I just got into reloading last year and it has proven to be a fun endeavor but also a never ending pursuit of tighter and tighter groups and figuring out which bullet the barrel likes. I...- WVmike

Next year I would like to upgrade the barrel on my Remington 700 .308 and put a new scope on it or I have really been wanting to pick up a Bergara Wilderness HMR or HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor. I primarily use my .308 for shooting out to 4-450 yards for practice and during whitetail season here in WV... -
Carbon six barrels
Does anyone have experience with this brand when re-barreling a rifle? I have a Remington 700 ADL .308 in a choate stock that can more than likely accept a bull barrel profile. Next year I plan on putting a carbon barrel on it and a nice leupold scope as well. I'm looking at carbon six and also... -

I'm in the market for my son's first hunting rifle. I grew up with Winchester Model 70s and marlin 30-30s. I'm going to get a .243 for him and have been looking at a Ruger American or Savage Axis. I have not handled either one of these models and from what I've gathered the Ruger is advertised... -
.243 or 6.5 prc
My son is 8 years old but he is almost 5 foot tall and about 140 lbs. He shot his first deer last year with the .223 wylde AR I built the year before at 400 yards. I want to get him something other than the .223 with a little more knockdown power. I've been set on a .243 but having looked around... -

I will be going to Colorado OTC next year for my first elk hunt and I have been researching units. I have a couple narrowed down but was trying to pick up more bits of information about the units in particular. I know unit 18 had some pretty bad fires in that area in 2020 and was trying to see... -
