6.5mm = .264" in cartridge speak.

My opinion. (again and again...)

The .300 WM is a one-and-done gun for hunting whatever you want to. For deer and antelope-sized game, you have to choose your bullets and shot placement carefully...

Not to spark a fight, but in the elk hunting circles around here, we call the .308 a potato cannon. Lol.

Very much this. Great post from a guy that is clearly speaking from experience.

In my opinion, if you are going to hunt elk, get the .300 WM. If not, the 6.5 Creedmoor will do everything you need...

I see your point. As a handloader I had not considered it from that perspective. Thank you.

The .30-06 is 100-200 FPS faster than a .308 Winchester in the heavier bullet weights. That matters at longer ranges.

The Ridge and the Hunter are in the 7.1 to 7.9 range. That is about where you wanted to be to mitigate recoil, isn't it? Mine are cerakoted, not blued.

Side note. Stainless rifles are great, but...

In regards to mounts, here are a couple of pics of Talleys. I guess I am not totally sure that there are not pic rail combos out there that would get it just as low. I personally hate having a...

Zero experience with Sauer. Always wanted an SSG, but never got around to it.

I currently own, (including the wife and kids), Howa, Ruger, Browning, Savage, Remington and Bergara. I prefer the...

I use Talley lightweights on my hunting rifles. Keeps the scope lower than pic rail mounts and I have yet to have a scope move in them. I have also not had a set where they were not aligned when...

Great post indeed. I agree on nearly all counts.

My daughter's 6.5 Creedmoor is a Howa and that thing is a copper mine. As is every Savage my wife and I have ever owned, eight in total. The Howa...

For a hunting scope, A Leupold VX-3i or VX-3HD in 3.5-10x40 can be had for under $500 and would treat you well.

I personally really like Bergara rifles. I feel like you get a lot more than you pay for in quality and features. Both of mine are shooters. Their B14 series is mostly under $1000 and comes in...

I see the evolution of closed emitters sparking a conversation. Closed emitter .vs LPVO on defensive handgun. :rolleyes:

Watched the live unveil of the Kraken on YouTube for a short spell. The closed emitter optic that was on the Glocks in the foreground appeared huge to me. Admittedly, I only watched about two minutes.

Thanks for the tip. I got my order in.

This is what that exact configuration looks like with a Sentinel in a .160" pocket with the optic turned off. The rear is the 10-8 with a .140" notch, the front is a Dawson .250" x .105"

Good info. Thank you for that. It is something I was concerned about and didn't have the scientific knowledge to know any different. Figured I would just test it out.

FWIW, neither the Sentinel nor my HE508t fogged over when subjected to -2F temp, 91% humidity, straight from AIWB carry.

Has there ever been a point where HK did not sell every LEM gun that they make? Is there some stash of unwanted and unloved surplus somewhere collecting dust because no one wants the design? The way...

Where does one even get an RMSc?

I vastly prefer the paddle release to a button.

I dove into LEMs a bit after reading Darryl's post regarding "people management" triggers. Developed quite an appreciation for them until my performance interests changed and I went to Glock. Great...

I have had a 6 moa Romeo Zero on a P365XL. It was terrible. My previous report described the dot as a scale model of the solar system. Lens distortion was horrible. The dot looked like a football....

You aren’t kidding about the steel being harder. I very recently fitted a 10-8 standard low profile rear on an aftermarket G43x slide. It found it to be more difficult and time consuming to remove a...
