I worked up 5 different loads for it over the weekend and yesterday I went shooting. A couple 65GR Vmax A couple 55GR blitz king one 70GR match King Every group looked like this, not even kidding. Also the wind was blowing so I think they could have been better. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c11...

Foxs, kangaroos and rabbits out to 350 400 yards all going well on my end I would put a Zeiss with one of the Rapid Z reticles on it. Go to Zeiss' web site and use the ballistic calculator thing and see hat you come up with. I'm betting the Z1000 would prolly work on the 6.5 as well. It tells you w...

Hi all have ordered a cooper rifle in jan still no gun Q. What scope 6.5 - 20 x 50 leupold or zeiss What is your intent with the rifle? Hunting? Long range shooting? Little bit of both? I have a couple of both in that power and I like the Zeiss a bit more but the VX3 is no slouch, especially the VX...

and deadly, me and my daughter broke it in today and shot three different handloads through it. Here is one.... I had one in the .2s but we shot the target up before we could take a pic. (oops) http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c110/tbarringhaus/_DSC0026.jpg also the rapid Z 1000 reticle was on perf...

Been wanting a 308 bolt gun that was more on the heavy tacticool side for some long rangetarget shooting and just geneally hving fun. It may make its way to a big comfy condo stand to kill a deer, we'll see as I have plenty of lighter guns for that stuff. Here are the particlulars; Savage Model 10 -...

got the scope on mine today.... Really good glass on this one, almost look better than my last conquest. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c110/tbarringhaus/_DSC0015-1.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c110/tbarringhaus/_DSC0016-2.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c110/tbarringhaus/_DSC0018-...

Big B, The eye eye relief is a bit touchy. However, I was able to settle in to it easy enough and now I don't even notice it. For me, at least, it is a very comfortable package. Jon On edit: You are right, we SHOULD trust....but we MUST verify (for ourselves as individuals). Cool man..... and yep, ...

Big B, I have a Phoenix .204, Talley one piece rings and Viper 6.5-20X44. If you are wondering, I love the performance of the entire package. I'm not tempted to change any of it at all. This is my full time "truck rig", so it gets hot, cold, dusty and bounced around. Each shot is fired wi...

well after waiting for my 204 phoenix to be shipped from Colorado to Wyoming and then on to California (the seller would not send to ca.) I finally got to see it today I was surprised on how well it fit and the balance is great . I was also surprised how small the bolt is. gonna put Talley one piec...

In all seriousness, I've had the chance to spend a bit of time with an LRPV in 6 BR and it would absolutely drive nails. Mine is the most accurate gun in my safe.... And I have two safes filled with with all flavors of rifles - Coopers, Kimbers, Wby's, Tikkas, Sako's Custom shop Remington, full off...

My buddy brought over his Savage LRPV tonight for me to get his scope mounted up and I took a couple pics of it. He bought this rifle on my recommendation as I have an LRPV in 6mm Norma BR and it is the most accurate gun in my safe. It's one of those guns where you really don't have to try hard at a...

Well that is great choice looking into the Coopers but there is one issue with them. They are such a fine rifle with excellent fit and finish and above average accuracy but the problem is they are expensive and you will not be satisfied with your first one................... because you will already...

Man you don't log in here in awhile and you come back and find new riffraff hanging around.... I know this guy and not only is he a good guy who loves rifles as much as most of us do but he also owns one really nice Cooper in a big deer cartridge. Trying to get him to buy a couple more of them in so...

What is the twist of the 1V in 204? 1-12"?

A friend of mine just picked up a Ruger M77 MKII varmint in 204, brown laminate, gun metal grey finish, wide beaver tail stock on it. This is last years model and the dealer indicated that he had a couple dozen that he was getting from Ruger at a discounted priced that he wanted to move. dealer is i...
