I'm 100% with @Flatbrimmer!
I have a 5 pin Truglo sight on my 90's era Golden Eagle.
I put a Dead On rangefinder on the bow.
Essentially a small piece of rubber with double sided tape and a bunch of holes in it.
It comes with a bunch of short pieces of different colored "fiber optics". Put...
You can go the EGW one piece base route.
EGW's bases are kinda tall.
But teamed with standard low rings, they work really well.
Another option might be this.

Personally, if you have chosen the 308 as your cartridge regardless of the rifle. I wouldn't spend the money on a Mark V.
I especially wouldn't spend the money on a rifle with your stated usage to do the blue printing and other stuff.
If you had said that you were going for a Weatherby magnum...
@Floridagt500,
I don't actually hate the 6.5 CM.
It's actually an excellent cartridge that works well within it's confines.
Let's look at it objectively, not emotionally.
We have both described it as being designed for match shooting.
Your statement of it being designed for a short...
Congratulations on your new rifle!
I'll admit to a time or three that I left the house with my gun case to go to the range.
Strangest thing ..
When I got to the range, I found the case empty.
Had to go to the gun shop to rectify the situation.
There was a rifle in the case when I got...
I did the 7mm-08AI for several reasons.
1) It's a wildcat cartridge without a lot of fuss to make it.
2) I wanted to challenge myself and my abilities to see if I could do it. I did all the work myself by hand.
3) While it looks cool at band camp, realistically I only gained about 50fps over...
Oh oh, pick me!!
I'll answer these ones!!
1) where are we living that 7mm-08 ammo is available?
Answer....
It doesn't matter where I live. I reload.
At anytime, I have at least 160 rounds of 7mm-08AI on the shelf.
100 rounds prepped for F-Open matches.
10 rounds with 140gr Berger VLD and 10...
Dude!
It was 5 years ago!
If you're interested in putting something like the Boss system on one of your rifles, look into an EC Tuner Brake.
EC being Eric Cortina.
Leave it to the new members to revive long dead threads.
I think this one is the king though.
2009???
And how does this go from the thread title of "Remington 280" to wanting a 30-06 with the Boss system?
Better to be in the want to buy of the classified section.
This right here is why I stay away from CDS turrets and use MOA reticles.
Ok, so to the issue at hand.
Barnes factory ammo.
New box/lot #?
Did you confirm the velocity with the ammo you shot with the CDS?
Did you confirm drops at further than the 250 yard zero before you ordered the CDS...
You have a point to a degree.
Even the Hornady SST & Interlock, Nosler Accubond and Ballistic Tip.
Although none of those are typically what one would choose for shooting long range.
They all behave differently in their terminal performance.
Some expand more rapidly than others.

He has 2 loads that he said worked for him.
Judging from the shops in my area, the Norma Evostrike is not "mainstream".
In other words, when whomever he is buying it from sells out, is he going to be able to find it again?
The other one is really an inferior bullet in my opinion.
Aside from...
