    Rings for Redfield Scope

    I recently purchased the T/C Compass from Cabelas; the $220 all-in, post-tax price lured me into finding out if I like 6.5 Creedmoor. The rifle comes with factory bases installed. I have a new Redfield 4x12x40mm scope to mount on it. In your experience, do you have a go-to for rings? Is there...

    .308 bullet for whitetail

    Most commercial 150 grain .308 loads will put down a whitetail, but I am wondering what the best round for me would be. I'll be hunting with a Remington 700 and shooting from 150 yards and under. The $45/ box Barnes, for example, don't seem to be worth it for my purposes. I've been looking at...
