    Hand Loading for Long Range 4: Powderin' it

    Back to powderin' I have done my initial and refined powder tests and have narrowed down 2 or 3 loads to shoot for grouping. Are you guys shooting these at 300+ yards or at 100 yards? I think the longer distances would be better validation, but at 100 yards you reduce the effect of wind on...

    Gunsmithing Attaching a Picatinny Rail to Stock Forend

    For those who are interested, I found this analogous video showing how to bed a scope rail: Gunsmithing Bedding A Scope Rail On a Remington 700 - YouTube I think I will go with a non-metal epoxy since all I am really doing is making a shim. Plus, it will give me some flexibility should...

    Gunsmithing Attaching a Picatinny Rail to Stock Forend

    I want to attach an Accushot BT49 2" pictanniy rail to a Manners MCS-T stock in order to provide an attachment point for an Atlas bipod. The forend of the stock is slightly convex but it does not match the concavity of the rail. I am thinking that I need to either use something as a shim for...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24 FFP for Varmints?

    Great info. That XLR looks real good but I'm a mil/mil kind of guy. But I am leaning toward the FFP. With my NXS, I would use the high mag to spot and verify the target then back off to reduce mirage before sending the life-ending round. So based on the input here, I don't think the full FFP...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24 FFP for Varmints?

    Thanks for that video, it is helpful. The only place I have found them locally is Sportsman's Warehouse and the SFP 6-24 I looked at is gone. I have used FFP before but never for varmint hunting. I think it would help with follow-ups after a miss, which happens quite a bit, for some reason...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24 FFP for Varmints?

    As a basis for comparison, I have a Rem M700 .223 varmint gun that wore a NF NXS until I put it on something that sees more use. At a local shop, I looked through a 6-24 PST with the reticle in the second focal plane and liked it but am wondering if the FFP reticle is suitable for zapping...

    Night Vision Scopecoat PVS14

    I have an extra ACOG neoprene cover that works fairly well. I put the cover's objective end over the PVS14's eyepiece end for the best fit. This is a storage and transport solution, though.

    Night Vision Best Company for buying PVS-14?

    TNVC is top notch. Their staff is fantastic and they know what they are doing. I would not hesitate to use them again when I make my next NV purchase.

    Rifle Scopes Recommended tool for general torquing of scope/rifle?

    Another vote for Borka. The proprietor is a good guy, to boot.
