Re: Vortex Viper scope F/S

Sorry I need to learn to read, just saw that it is "new in the box"

Does it come with rings or anything?

Re: Vortex Viper scope F/S

Very interested. I just want to look up and see exactly what reticle that is. Will get back to you within the next half hour. What condition is it in? What gun was it mounted on? Come with rings? Any pics?

Thanks

Re: Will 50mm obj fit on my CZ 527 Varmint?

I've read numerous articles that have stated your eye cannot absorb more than the 42mm offers anyhow. I normally wouldnt even consider a 50mm, its just that I found a brand new in box leupy 6.5-20x50 vx-3 for $400. It was to good of a deal to pass up. Also found a Nikon Monarch BRAND new 6-24x50 wit...

Re: Neck size vs full length

The reason I ask is I ordered a neck die for my .204 2 weeks ago and has not arrived, whereas the local gun shop has a full length die in stock...

Will 50mm obj fit on my CZ 527 Varmint?

I just found a GREAT deal on a Leupold VX-3 6.5-20x50. Brand new in box for $400. Im happy with my weaver v24 on my cz, but this scope I just cant pass up. I know there is talk of certain scopes not fitting on the cz527. Does anyone know if this scope will work on my gun before I buy it? I might buy...

Re: Why aren't my woodchucks exploding?

Even his bullets werent exploding them, and usually when he shoots chucks with that gun/load it basically sp...

Neck size vs full length

I'm new to reloading, just purchased hornady lock n lOad classic. My
Dad only neck sizes for his 22-250. Do you guys neck size or full length for the .204 and is there a reason why you should or shouldn't do one or the other.

Thanks

Re: Why aren't my woodchucks exploding?

Rick! That is exactly what im looking for! I hope i dont come across as a sicko, but if i shoot something id like to see the damage. It just isnt that much fun killing a chuck, walk up to it and it just looks like a sleeping chuck. No blood, no damage...no nothing. Kind of boring. Still Fun to hit s...

Why aren't my woodchucks exploding?

Went on my first hunt yesterday with my new 204. Shot 5 crows and 5 chucks. Missed one crow at 295 yards. The crows were all shot between 100-150 yards. The 5 chucks that I did hit were 190-230 yards. The crows were a mess almost completely split in half. The woodchucks on the other hand died instan...

Re: My first .204 ruger

I found a factory load it really likes. Its the federal premium with 39gr sierra BK. Im shooting 5 shot groups at 100 yards all 5 shots touching.... Dont know if the barrell is just breaking in now or it just really likes that ammo. Will do more testing today.

Re: My first .204 ruger

Put 40 rounds through it. 32gr seemed to group better but still not very impressed about 1" - 1.25" at 100 yards. Each group had two shots touching or almost touching and one shot an inch or inch and a half off??? Any suggestions?
