    Rifle Scopes ARC M3 Rings vs Burris Signature Zee

    Re: ARC M3 Rings vs Burris Signature Zee Euro Optics is considerably less than $200, but the pics show Gen 2 from what I can tell. SWFA has Gen 3 rings, and while not $200, they are $180. A little more doable. - Phil

    Rifle Scopes ARC M3 Rings vs Burris Signature Zee

    A comparison between the $200 American Rifle M3 rings and the $60 Burris Signature Zee rings may seen absurd, but I am looking at the two because I hate ring marks on a scope. These two address that, with the M3 applying more even pressure around the tube, but for a light recoiling 223, don't...

    Rifle Scopes MilDot or MOA If No Ranging Necessary?

    Re: MilDot or MOA If No Ranging Necessary? With the NP-2DD reticle, I presume you know the MOA from any point on the target to the center by way of knowing the dimensions of the concentric circles on the target. If the target had a circle with a 10.5" radius, and POI was on the that circle...

    Rifle Scopes MilDot or MOA If No Ranging Necessary?

    Re: MilDot or MOA If No Ranging Necessary? I disagree. I believe my original post makes it clear I know how to operate the two systems in my environment. I would ask what in my OP indicates I am missing an understanding of basic optics. I really want to know. Are my two scenarios in the...

    Modifying B&C Medalist

    Re: Modifying B&C Medalist I have a small (600 lb. or so) milling machine (vertical and horizontal). With a little rigging, can probably find a way to hold the stock. My vise is not that large. - Phil

    Modifying B&C Medalist

    I may acquire a Bell & Carlson Medalist A2 stock, but really don't like the shape and style of the forearm. I don't care much for the flared out forearm or how tall it is. How difficult is it for a novice to reshape the front part of the stock? Anyone modified one of these before? - Phil

    Chassis for Howa 1500?

    Re: Chassis for Howa 1500? Great... "uglier in person...". I was already struggling with it in photos. There is no middle ground. I can get the B&C and bolt in the action using the aluminum bedding block and I am shooting with a $220 invested. Next step up is $500 ADDITIONAL or more...

    Chassis for Howa 1500?

    Re: Chassis for Howa 1500? Pete, I appreciate the thoroughness and completeness of your reply. My local gunsmith (25 minutes away), can do the bedding...for $225. But, no shipping either way. I would love to try out different stocks and handle them, but will have to visit a match and...

    Recoil Wimp w/Question

    Re: Recoil Wimp w/Question I too liked the forend on your stock but not much for the grip. Never tried the Medalist, but am quite sure I would prefer that grip, but I am with you on the not so attractive forend. That let me to Manners, but the price is 2-1/2x the B&C. I know it is a better...

    Rifle Scopes MilDot or MOA If No Ranging Necessary?

    I am hesitant to bring up MOA and Mildot, but did not see anything in the considerable comments on the forum about my particular issue. I will be shooting at the local 100 and 200 yard range. I have no need to "range" anything, making moot the ranging benefit of the mildot. Just wondering...

    Recoil Wimp w/Question

    Re: Recoil Wimp w/Question I am not 100% sure on which stock, but it was a more coventional looking stock, not so much a tactical style. It was synthetic. - Phil

    Recoil Wimp w/Question

    Re: Recoil Wimp w/Question AR10 in 308 is under construction now. Since I already have an AR15 in 223, thought I get a bolt gun for variety and then finish the AR10. I had heard the gas gun hits less, but not sure how much less vs the bolt action. - Phil

    Recoil Wimp w/Question

    Re: Recoil Wimp w/Question Tonight, I had the opportunity to shoot a Howa 308 in an after market stock with a Pacmayr Decelerator pad. The owner of the rifle instructed me to get more "behind" the rifle and not cant my head so much. Did that and fired the first shot, and wow..., what a...

    Where To Invest Money In Rifle?

    I am building a 223 bolt action rifle for target shooting at the local 100 and 200 yard range, using a Howa action. Depending on other parts, my costs can rapidly escalate to points I'd rather not get to, considering the rifle's intended use. The parts that vary wildly in cost are the stock...
