Shoot it on actual paper to actually zero.

Then tape that bore sighter to the paper and shoot it.

But again remember neither is needed and a little grease will work fine. Grease also cleans easier. Anti seize can be a mess.

Check this thread out @faylix:

Howa 1500 builds post them

Hello all, So being a Howa owner, it's always nice to see what modifications or changes others do to theirs. Plus, the howa 1500 action is a great shooting platform and typically very very accurate. I noticed there is no such thread and decided i should start one seeing as how Bergara, Tikka...

Ok,

Here is what Andrew said:

"
We have everything but the actual plastic female catch.
26535
6821
25114
26243
3290
2477

Those are the part numbers for the complete assembly; it includes the flush cup that's missing from the photo above."

The 26243 is the only part we are missing and he is getting some ordered.

Now if you just want the screws I can get that done.

Let me know

Let me see if I can get the screw out of the catch side. If so, screws alone will solve my problem.

I'm looking, so the standard 24'' m1500 is like $400 and the carbon fiber wrapped (does that actually do anything? I'm not hunting with this gun) is like $700.

edit:

$473.31 - for the m1500 barreled action and an egw scope base. + 450 for the chassis is starting to look really nice.

I'm looking for something like a MDT ORYX Rifle Chassis - so that is another $450.

What else do I need? some kind of Pic rail up top, I have rings and scopes, and a bipod + rear bag?

$800 - 1000 seems do-able.

Is the Howa action something I can re-barrel later when I have enough to spend 1500 on a legit barrel?

For the Howa, I like the MDT scope rail as it has a recoil lug on it.

Yes the Howa can be re-barreled.

Contact MDT and ask them if the Howa in the Oryx can use all brands of AICS magazines, for some reason I thought it could only use MDT AICS.

Yeah no, don't go carbon, you want the heavier barrel. Howa makes a good rifle. I recommend them.

If PVA is still doing aero barelled actions with their osprey barells for like a grand give or take, that would be another solid option and then you get a stock/chassis of your choosing.

**edit to add**

I found the PVA deal.

I would go howa if you wanna stay really budget friendly and leave more funds for glass, ammo, accessories.

And if you wanna go to something a bit more "custom" then I would go with the PVA deal.

It's textbook gaslighting. And then saying gaslighting isn't "gaslighting" is beyond laughable in its irony.

I don't think saying dementia-stuff is forcing anyone else to question the fabric of reality... or if perhaps the 78 year old is slipping, and they are all right. Most likely the latter.

I think the percentages are non-equal too- it is true that really dumb people on both the left and right think that this is a real thing.

There are LOTS and LOTS of MAGApersons wishing we could invade Venezuela for the girls and gas, or Greenland for the... yeah, Greenland... and I don't think there are a whole lot of leftist heads exploding.

This is more like showing up on the first day of work and chugging a quart of your own piss to "establish dominance."

It doesn't make sense... and it doesn't communicate what you think it does. It's just self-humiliating for an incoming POTUS to talk nonsense like this.

uirapuru, have 4 friends from Ireland coming to the match in March, since I live in the States they wrangled me into going as well. Since they can't have centerfire pistols in Ireland I am providing them. As mentioned above I would careful what airport I fly into, NYC Boston etc especially with pistols, there intention is Dallas and drive up. As for ammo they have been over here for matches before so I can ask, as for 308 ammo, I'm sure someone can sort you out.

Do these sleazebag "officials" and gov "spokespeople" ever realize that a very large percentage of people do not believe a thing they say, and only listen/watch their press conferences to go AGAINST their advice and draw conclusions based on the opposite of what they say?

I have neighbors who are very much keep up with the Jones' mindset. They bragged about their 7% CD but if real inflation is 8% their purchasing power is contracting. Buy less with more dollars.

All I see when my buddy pulls up in his nice new truck is that is investment accounts will suffer. I tell him, "Nice truck," and it is nice, and he smiles, but I wonder why he still has student loans and vehicle payments and goes on four vacations a year. I know what he makes. I know the size of his family. I know what that costs. He is not investing.

Concur 100%. He has fallen prey to consumerism, exposed to repossession and likely foreclosure too. Had a coworker whose tenant stiffed him on rent so he (tenant) could take a vacation. Tenant belongs to the own' nut'n and be happy crowd. Coworker sued tenant get his rental income (and won).

Many espouse chasing capital and fuel it with FOMO. There's a time for everything and it depends on one's risk tolerance. If one is young and can rebuild wealth, that person can take more risks. If one is old then generally the risk tolerance is less as there is less time to rebuild wealth.

BTW, when Thurston Howell III was stranded on Gilligan's Island, being a millionaire meant something. Modernly (Jan. 2025) the average homeowner in San Francisco or Washington, DC and its immediate surrounding are millionaires per se and they're the new middle class. The trick is to stay that way and to have liquidity to take advantage of the opportunities that will arise.

Another good read is Anna Eisenmenger's Blockade: Diary of an Austrian Housewife.

ETA: Setting aside money for investing is exactly what the book, The Richest Man in Babylon, recommends. It's an ancient work that is as relevant today as when it was first pressed onto clay tablets. Best of all, it's free on U-toob. Everyone should either read a hardcopy or listen to the free U-toob video.

Roll sizing then bumping the shoulder may be the answer. I'd be surprised if they get 6 loads out of a case.

I wonder how much money it costs to manufacture these cases vs brass.

Would be nice to be able to buy virgin cases cheap enough to load and leave on the ground...

Either can go on any metal, the copper vs. nickel is how high the temp rating is and how corrosive the environment is.

Nickel-based anti-seize lubricant that safeguards mated metal parts from seizure and corrosion and offers protection in both extreme cold and extreme heat (-65.2°F to 2400°F).

Copper anti-seize is resistant to extremely high temperatures (up to +980°C - 1796°F) and protects from rust, corrosion, galling and seizing.

Okay good to know. I thought one of them reacted mildly with stainless steel for some reason.

If we had snipers hide during George Washington‘s presidency, you guys would be bitching about the fact that he started taxing whiskey and created the federal marshals.

Not that I’m saying he’s a bad president. But there would be a daily thread about what he’s fucking up and his bar bill.

Probably complain that he didn’t write the second amendment clear enough either.

Sirhr

You should read the book The Swamp Fox, about the dude who the patriot movie is very loosely based on. Talks about guys flip flopping sides constantly, depending on who happened to be “winning” at the time, paying more, or allowing looting. It’s pretty enlightening, we didn’t have a huge number of hard core patriots for the cause as one might think.
