    Butler Creek covers

    Re: Butler Creek covers I haven't had any snap off, but I've ordered at least 4 caps recently for larger objectives lenses (50mm or 56mm), and each time the bigger ones always seem really loose. I have experienced a bunch of unintended pop opens while in bags, etc. On the "flip" side, the...

    Are the expensive bi pods worth the price

    Re: Are the expensive bi pods worth the price I got mine through Sniper Company and dealt with Shaun. He was very helpful in allowing me to return it and I exchanged it for a Harris BRM-S, since the Atlas was out of stock, which I actually received earlier this afternoon. It is also well...

    Spotting scope options for 300 yard shooting

    I'm looking to buy a new spotting scope as I've just joined a new range with 300 yards (up from 200 where I shot previously). Currently I have a Bushnell Legend HD 12-36x50mm model which worked pretty well for bench shooting with its mini bi-pod. Unfortunately at 300 yards I can't really see...

    Are the expensive bi pods worth the price

    Re: Are the expensive bi pods worth the price I originally bought an Atlas bi-pod for my AICS stock but ended up returning it. One of the legs I found when extended would spin freely while the other one held tightly between the outer and inner pieces. It caused the leg to be slightly wobbly...

    Rifle Scopes Scope choice for AR-15

    Re: Scope choice for AR-15 I use an ACOG TA11 it is the slightly larger model with 3.5x zoom. The benefit is very flexible eyebox for different viewing angles and a ton of eye relief. Downside is the price.

    what is the correct way to shoot a new barrel in?

    Re: what is the correct way to shoot a new barrel in? Yeah I didn't realize Hoppe's doesn't work well on copper. That is what you get coming from only shooting .22 rimfires previously where most of the rounds shot aren't even copper jacketed.

    Best Rem 5R mod you made

    Re: Best Rem 5R mod you made I'm guessing most of you have the .308 version? I got the .223 along with a Timney trigger which I haven't installed yet. For some reason unlike most here my X-Mark is pretty good, probably 2.5-3lbs after adjusting the screw. Can anyone recommend a good muzzle...

    what is the correct way to shoot a new barrel in?

    Re: what is the correct way to shoot a new barrel in? I tried the shoot one clean one method for the first couple of rounds when i was trying to break in my first centerfire rifle a few weeks ago. From what some say it can reduce future copper fouling. Too bad i only used patches and...

    Something wrong with my AICS stock?

    Re: Something wrong with my AICS stock? To heck with trying to take that off and ordering another part. I just said screw it and bought a Harris bi-pod instead. Will return the Atlas, I found a loose leg on it anyway. Too bad, since the rest of it looked to be very well built, only thing...

    Something wrong with my AICS stock?

    Re: Something wrong with my AICS stock? Ah, you're referring to the rolled up aluminum pin that's directly above the sling mount by about 1/2", not where I just removed those two hard to remove screws. I'll need to get myself a pin punch for that size in order to do it safely, it looks...

    Something wrong with my AICS stock?

    Re: Something wrong with my AICS stock? bonneville, thanks for the instructions. I gave it a crack and tried to remove it. I removed some of the plastic stock's long screws first. Then saw the two slightly larger sized screws which were really hard to remove. As you can see from the...

    Something wrong with my AICS stock?

    Re: Something wrong with my AICS stock? It looks like its stuck pretty nicely in there. And from that spring latch, which I need for my Atlas bi-pod spigot, if I did manage to take it off, I wouldn't have the spring loaded adapter needed for the bi-pod...

    Something wrong with my AICS stock?

    Re: Something wrong with my AICS stock? Thanks for the help guys, that explains it. I'm not a big fan of it either. It looks better being flush and I'm not going to install any night vision. I shoot mostly on benches, I'm afraid being this far forward will be too forward of the table...

    Something wrong with my AICS stock?

    I'm a new guy on the forum, the last couple weeks I've been looking at the awesome Remington 700s with AICS stocks so I decided to order my own. The one I got from MidwayUSA seems to be a bit different in the front than the other ones I've seen. It seems to have the front adapter block that...
