    Hard to believe, but I recommend you take a look at the BSA Majestic DX hunter series of scopes. Have one
    on my Savage Axis 223. You should find them priced under $150. Higher power ones have side foc...

    Usually buy my brass and bullets from Graf and Sons, but have used Midway a number of times when they've

    Check www.natchezss.com to see what Nitrex TR1 scopes are left. Nitrex and Weaver both owned by same

    Original wildcat 257R was loaded hotter than the factory ammo when it was standardized and chambered in
    rifles. So, basically the factory +P 257R ammo introduced not that long ago, is closer ballistic...

    Do own a Ruger Hawkeye that I can shoot the +p ammo and a custom one built on a 98 mauser action that can
    handle the +P. Never have bought any of its factory ammo, but have done some reloads that matc...
