    Nikon’s new Rangefinders

    I would be interested to know where Nikon's range finders are manufactured? Should I assume China?

    Aadamount scope caps

    I disagree, I recently replaced my Aadmount caps with Tenebraex caps and I am much happier. The Tenebraex caps allow you to mount the scope lower than the bulky Aadmount caps. Which is more important to me.

    Rifle Scopes Iota scope rings with illuminated bubble

    IOTA also makes the same exact scope rings except that it mounts directly to the Remington 700, no picatinny rail needed.

    Rifle Scopes Weaver 6-30x56 thoughts

    For anyone who is interested in flip-up scope caps that THREAD into the objective bell on your Weaver 6-30x56, tenebrax makes both Objective and Ocular scope caps that will fit. The part numbers for the Objective Flip-Up cover is: adapter ring=56NFCC-AR and flip cover=SB5603-FCV. For the ocular...

    Gunsmithing Firing pin cross pin stuck

    Somehow the cross pin that keeps the firing pin in place is stuck. I just changed the firing pin and while reinstalling the cross pin I noticed it was very difficult to hammer back into place with my drive punch. Well I keep hammering at it until it was in place and now I cannot remove it. I...

    Barrel and trigger choice for straight-pull 10/22 build.

    I have a Volquartsen Carbon Fiber Ultralite barrel which is very accurate, it is more accurate than my Kidd Ultralite barrel. As for the trigger, I went with a Brimstone Tier 1 trigger job which I regret. I wish I would have bought a Kidd single stage.

    10/22 scope mount help

    Your options are either to (1) purchase new scope rings that are for weaver rails, (2) machine the weaver rail, or (3) replace the rail with a picatinny rail. The cheapest option would be to purchase weaver scope rings. Having the rail machined will cost no less than $50 and most likely probably...

    Your go to rifle chassis?

    I am a big fan of the MDT LSS simply because it is so light, the Remington 700 footprint LSS weighs about 1.6 pounds. Aesthetically, I love the XLR Carbon but my only compliant with that chassis is that you must use a handguard which puts significant distance between the scope and barrel. One of...

    260 Remington build completed!!

    So far, my only compliant about the scope is the weight, which is 40oz. Other than that, I am impressed with the zero stop and illumination.

    Rifle Scopes 34 mm rings

    I use Hawkin's Precision for my 34mm, they are direct mounts and do not require a picatinny rail.

    Long Range Rifle on a Budget

    The stock looks inexpensive...like it is gonna snap in half. Other than that I think it is a fine build under the financial constraints. I am not familiar with T/C rifles, does it have a detachable magazine?

    260 Remington build completed!!

    Thank you for your input. First, the gunsmith did not ask me if I would like the brake "clocked" a few degrees nor did he mention it upon delivery. Secondly, the brake is clocked in the opposite direction and would only be helpful if I was left handed. In my opinion, it is very clear that it was...

    Their "Sendero" contour which is 0.830" at the muzzle. I believe it is similar to the Remington Varmint Contour.

    It very well may shoot great, I don't know, so I don't wanna flame them or discredit them. But regarding the other issues...different story.

    CarbonSix barrels

    No I cannot shoot it because I had to send the barreled action to Kampfeld Customs to have the muzzle brake properly timed/fixed, a thread protector fabricated and a side bolt stop/release added (CarbonSix does not do side bolt stop/release). In addition, here in Michigan it is too cold to shoot...

    CarbonSix barrels

    I just finished a build using one of their barrels and I am very disappointed with their work. Long story short, they blueprinted my Rem 700, installed the barrel and muzzle brake. They instructed me to send them my Recoil Lug because I wanted to use a particular one which they kept and then...

    Ruger 10/22 build finally complete!!
