    Educate me on garage floor coatings.

    Also remember about footing/slipperiness of whatever you wind up putting down. All those aircraft spotless shiny hangar floors you see at private FBO’s are a mixed bag— they are great light reflectivity and clean, easy to spot. But the ones that haven’t had a grit substrate added in the epoxy...

    Educate me on garage floor coatings.

    Tech Floor or similar lay down garage floor squares. A couple different options with either open air or fully enclosed tiles (I would do fully enclosed so I can find all the small parts that get dropped). No big involved floor prep and easy enough to repair/replace if needed. Lots of...

    Appleseed Sucking

    Looks like that worked out well for you Trigger Monkey! Score of 240+ with optics or 230+ with iron sights is worth a distinguished patch. Since the red dot isn’t magnified I would say it counts for the iron sights category. Good job. In any event, a nice improvement in score! The all...

    Do you have a Havak 3 in 6.5cm with a 24” yet? Not really concerned about color but preference would be woodland, urban, mountain color schemes in that order.

    Precision Rifle Gear Using Hornady HIT indicators? How are you attaching them?

    Plus one to everything Lash said in post #28. My match targets are all hung on 2x4 ‘s and the wood gets hit often (enough that I had to put armor plate on the front to preserve the wood posts) and those erroneous shots would still set off the hornady indicators giving a false positive for...

    22 LR weight feedback, does it helps or is a myth?

    Yea, I don’t weigh or sort at all for any discipline, not worth my time. I am used to getting 1-3 turds per box on even the premium tiers of ammo. I will take that drop in score For silhouette I zero for whatever current case of 5000 SK Standard+ I’m currently using ( I do see poi shifts...

    22 LR weight feedback, does it helps or is a myth?

    Tell that to this ARA competitor. He won a fair amount of wins and outscored me all the time.

    Low end Torque Values- Borka vs Wiha

    Had a borka, did not like the finickyness of how to manipulate it (inconsistent values depending on hold and angle), sold it. Also currently have: Fix it kit individual limiters set (settled on this as the winner a few years ago) Fix it kit all in one set Wheeler FAT torque wrench Snap On (...

    Lap Rings for .22 Squirrel Rifle?

    This thread is a great explanation of why I rarely buy used equipment from unknown entities. You never know when you are going to run into a seller at the OP’s level of knowledge, confidence and skill.

    Spotting scope recommendation; Vortex or Kowa?

    Went through this last fall. Wind knocked over my bogen tripod mounted minox EFR 21-42x 60mm spotter straight into the concrete. I got it for a decent deal a dozen years prior so I got great usage out of it, wasn’t happy but not heartbroken over its loss either . Shopping around for a...

    Precision Rifle Gear Using Hornady HIT indicators? How are you attaching them?

    I gave up on these hornady indicators. They work great for long range centerfire targets mounted on a t post, but close in targets for rimfire they didn’t work out well for my match ( my targets are mounted on 2x4 posts that slide into 4” diameter plastic conduit holes buried 2’ in the ground...

    Mounting a scope...on an old rifle...

    No, I took the scope blocks off the barrel and picked up their threaded hole locations in the barrel with a CMM probe and bored screw holes in the new pic rail to match. The pic rail is screwed directly to the barrel. Like I stated earlier, this simple looking part had a lot of thought put...

    Mounting a scope...on an old rifle...

    EGW raw and anodized rail sections: https://egwguns.com/scope-mounts-rings/extrusions-drop IIRC I think I had a .0065” or 0075” drop per inch taper cut when I machined the bottom part with a 1” ball endmill. This simple looking part had a fairly complex CADCAM toolpath as I had to account...

    Mounting a scope...on an old rifle...

    Could do this. Ordered some raw pic rail from either brownells or egw and mounted it on the original scope block mount holes in the barrel. Machined the bottom part of the rail to match barrel OD with the appropriate sized ball end mill. Or go the easy way as mentioned in post number six above
