    My MDT LSS 308 shorty build

    I carry mine barrel down. I installed a QD adapter in my chassis forend where the regular sling stud was. Leaves the underside of the forend smooth with the sling off so when I shoot off my knee there is nothing to "bite" when the gun goes off. I also filled my buffer tube with lead shot which...

    My MDT LSS 308 shorty build

    Being down in south Texas where shooting prone is almost non -existent, I always shoot off a bench or shooting sticks to get above the grass and bushes and ants and thorny brush and all that stuff that bites! lol I used my Harris bipod some but the gun really moves around a lot on the table with...

    My MDT LSS 308 shorty build

    I have not weighed my gun but I bet it added at least a pound or better. I had to install the QD adapter in my stock. I removed the factory sling stud and drlled out one of the existing holes in the very front of the stock tapped it out to a 9/16-18 thread and screwed in my adapter with JB weld...

    My MDT LSS 308 shorty build

    I just got out some wood dowels and crocus cloth and started sanding on mine. I would go slow and coat the action with prussian blue but it back in the chassis and sand where it made contact. I also plan to bed mine but will have to take a little more off the chassis for epoxy. I have not found...

    My MDT LSS 308 shorty build

    Very sweet rig Phenozine!!! I have one just like it except I have a Magpul CTR adjustable stock and a Vortex PST 2.5x10 on mine. Also dropped in a Timmney trigger. Only complaint I had about the chassis is that I had to remove a fair amount of aluminum to get the action down to the bed area...

    Remington 700 AAC 308 16.5" build

    I put my 16.5 ACC in a LSS chassis with a Magpul CTR stock and love it! A great compact brush country hunting rig that looks to be a real good shooter.

    Reducing Bullet Runout

    Thanks for some very good points and input. My mistake on my post was that I was getting consistant .002 runout according to my Sinclair concintricity guage. I am actually getting more like an average of .003 to .004. I guess I wrote what I was wishing I could get it down to! I am shooting a...

    Reducing Bullet Runout

    Are the collet/ mandrel dies worth the extra step the loading process? I was looking at the Lee Collet Die or the Sinclair Expander die. I am getting an average of .002 run out with my non neck trimmed fire formed Lapua brass. Would I be wasting time and money on these dies without neck...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on my new NF NXS 2.5-10x32

    My new NF finally arrived today. The thing is built like a tank! The first thing I noticed, turrets were not exposed. That might be a Midway USA web site mess up. The glass was sharper than my Leupold V-II I had on hand for comparison. My older eyes could not tell if it was $1200.00 better...

    Rifle Scopes Scope to rifle bore alignment

    Good info Deadshot. This is a new type of rig for me so I plan on trying a few things then I can decide how permanent I need items to be. After I get some time behind it I'll have a better idea what I may need to do. Thanks for the input!:)

    Rifle Scopes Scope to rifle bore alignment

    I have a 16" 700 Remington with a Picatinney base. I was planning on using Burris Z rings with a NF NXS 2.5x10x32 scope. Just wanting to start things off right with the install.

    Rifle Scopes Scope to rifle bore alignment

    Is there a good "poor boy" method to get a scope aligned close with the rifle bore? Is it really necessary shooting under 400 yards? Probably a thread on this subject but I can't find one. Thanks

    You are right about that Km22. Sounds like you have been in my position before! lol

    Rifle Scopes Need Scope Advice

    I hope your right about getting over the shock of spending that kind of money on glass Km22. I was just getting over the shock of the money I spent putting together the rifle I am putting that NF on! But I am sure it will be all good when I send a few rounds down range with it. I had planned on...

    Rifle Scopes Need Scope Advice

    My leupolds have always served me good!! The Mark4 2.5x8 I was interested in sounded real good too. The NF cost a bit more but had the reticle I wanted and from what I have heard is a solid performer. I will post my opinions for what they are worth.

    tactical stock search - can't find it again

    MDT has some nice chassis too. I just built a 308 on their LSS chassis and really like it.

    Rifle Scopes Need Scope Advice

    The BDC reticle is pretty nice except I shoot different loads for target and hunting so I need to be able to dial for those. I used to have a BDC on another gun and with it worked good for the load set up.
