    Is a detachable magazine worth the increase in weight on a precision/hunting rifle?

    With out going out and shooting your particular rifle there is really no way to tell if bedding will benefit it or not. I would certainly say that if done right it cannot hurt anything. If the rifle shoots .5 moa I don't think your going to bed it and make it a .4 moa rifle. How would you...

    Is a detachable magazine worth the increase in weight on a precision/hunting rifle?

    I have not had any rattling from either of my Badger DBMs but have seen some that have. This can usually be mitigated by selecting the best mag you have that do not rattle. To mitigate the digging into the back I installed flush cups on the bottom and left side of the stock. Easy install with...

    Is a detachable magazine worth the increase in weight on a precision/hunting rifle?

    If you're looking at putting in a badger DBM I would send it to badger. They charge $75 and put it on a machine that mills it perfectly into the stock. The $75 was cheaper than many of the smiths I checked with and the fit was perfect with no epoxy work. The turn around was one week but I...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Modifing your CCW weapon?

    That was an interesting read. I did not see any mention in the article about modifying the gun. Just that he was, "a crazy gun owner.". Also, it seems it was an issue of self defense vs murder. There was also blame placed on the judge and prosecutor as anti gun and "rigging" the trial. No...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Modifing your CCW weapon?

    Where does this fear come from? Are there cases out there that substantiate this or are you just hedging and making a worst case assumption?

    Gunsmithing Going cheap on a 700 truing

    I had a similar issue with my remington a couple of months ago. I had it bedded, recrowned, trigger, two scopes and two stocks and it would not shoot. After all the money I spent chasing a cheap fix in parts and shipping back and forth I am kicking myself. I should have just built a custom...

    what are your thoughts on boots?

    I think this is the ticket to boot survival. I would go through boots in 6 months to a year and they would generally look terrible. i would usually tear the inside lining which would curl and blister my foot or tear the shoe leather just above the sole somewhere. Once I bought two pairs and...

    Whats the big deal with TacOps rifle?

    This is an interesting thread. I did not realize that custom actions needed extra work similar to a factory Remington. It makes sense though if you are chasing extreme tolerances and accuracy. It makes me feel better about using a factory Remmy for my 1st custom. Next task - become rich and...

    Camelbak Packs: any experience?

    I have had the bfm for years. It has held up extremely well. The pack you showed said the harness was designed by mystery ranch. I love anything from mystery ranch. Give it a go you can never have to many different packs.

    Pistol grips, how do they affect lethality?

    In my experience the pistol grip has nothing to do with lethality. The pistol grip is more ergonomic because the hand is in a more natural position with the hand in line with the forearm in a natural position instead of cocked downward. The other benefit is the trigger finger in relation to...

    Rifle Scopes "True" 1x Options

    Well in this case I am glad they did because the mk6 is a huge upgrade over my mk4 IMHO.

    Rifle Scopes "True" 1x Options

    That was really what I was wondering. I thought I might have been missing something. I have the mk6 1-6 and a mk4 1.5-5 and while the mk6 is a way better scope the illuminated cmr reticle on the 1.5 is probably just as fast and accurate for close shots. The sight picture in the mk6 is more...

    Rifle Scopes "True" 1x Options

    So...I do agree with this statement. But why such a big deal about a true 1x scope? This is a scope and not a red dot so to me I use this more as a scope than at 1x. If I used 1x more I would buy a red dot. I have used this scope for cqb and while it is awesome it is not a red dot. It is...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 1-6x

    I have one of the early production 1-6s and the illumination looks like the other two, newer, scopes I've seen. I don't think there is a problem with the illumination. I think there is a problem with the way the illumination looks vs the way people expected it to look. The illumination is...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 1-6x

    Well I am not sure what you mean by capable. Are you going to try and pair these two in series? This scope would probably do really well with a front mounted night vision device. In my experience, and what i have used, they do well with lower powered scopes or the day scope on lower power...

    This is the same optics setup I have and I agree. Works great

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 1-6x

    I paid more for mine that that. Quite a bit more. I don't care though because I love this scope.
