    AI AT308 bolt face pitting

    Wow!! that bolt face is seriously bad looking. That happens from repeated firing with seriously loose and leaking primer pockets. It looks sooo bad that I'd probably send it to LRI to get a bushing installed in the bolt face to repair it or just buy a new bolt from Mile High

    AI AT308 bolt face pitting

    Bolt face pitting in a ring around the firing pin is an unmistakeable sign of pierced primers at some point in that rifles history. So no matter how many rounds the previous owner said were fired through it, pierced primers caused the pitting, and I'd be willing to bet the previous owner lied...

    Well this is a first... failure to fire

    I would not ignore the possibility of the new brass being short on headspace leading to misfires. I just got done firing 223 reloads made from factory new LC 11 brass. I had about 25 misfires and the factory new brass had shoulders that were 15 to 20 thousandths under SAAMI minimum which to me...

    Precision Rifle Gear Atlas V8 Bipod or CKYE Pod

    @TheRealMongo there's nothing wrong asking for equipment advice in the forums that's what they are here for. I think previous posters are confusing asking for advice with trying to sell stuff outside the PX or posting want to buy posts outside the PX. I have or have had Atlas V8, Atlas CAL, and...

    Getting another Rem 700P- am I just a glutton for pain?

    My wife used to have one and that car was a POS and burned a quart of oil avery 500 miles, but it ran forever, or at least until my sister in law who's a terrible driver crashed it.

    Getting another Rem 700P- am I just a glutton for pain?

    You yourself said the 700P that you have was pain in the ass. I don't know why, today in 2021, anyone would buy a Remington 700 for a precision rifle. In factory rifles, the Bergaras and the Tikkas are superior to anything that big green ever put out, hell I'd take a Ruger RPR over a factory...

    SIG KIlo 2000 help

    Also, I have heard of some people getting Sig Kilos that did not range to spec, if you're still having issues, I'd contact Sig about sending it back under warranty. And yes mounting in a tripod will aid performance tremendously.

    SIG KIlo 2000 help

    The Kilo 2000 has a gigantic aiming circle while the actual laser is much smaller than the circle. I would suggest testing your Kilo 2000 by ranging small targets against the sky like a traffic light to find out where in the ranging circle your laser is. If you miss the small target, you won't...

    New MPA PMR Pro 6.5CM

    Should be a good rifle. This may be a Ford vs. Chevy thing but I personally much prefer the Vortex EBR 7C reticle over any Tremor reticle. I have a scope with a Tremor2 reticle and it's in the box because I don't like the reticle.

    Spotters Post your Spotting scope images!

    Nice!! Nothing like $15,000 for outstanding glass and range finding.

    Spotters Post your Spotting scope images!

    Serge, what spotting scope is that image through?? If I had to guess I would guess a Vectronix but not a Terrapin or Terrapin X. Maybe a PLRF-25?

    Spotters Spotting Scope With MRAD Reticle

    I've been using a Leupold Mk IV 12-40 with TMR reticle for many years, it is a compact package with decent glass and the reticle is useful without blocking too much of the field of view. They sometimes go on sale at like Black Friday for very good prices. The glass as I said is decent, actually...

    Shoulder Bump - what am I doing wrong?

    @MtnCreek I think you misreading the numbers. It looks like the 2nd photo is of his case gauge before resizing and the 3rd is after resizing and it shows he's bumped the shoulder back a tad more than 3 thousandths, which is fine. As for the dents in the shoulder, they are usually caused by 1)...

    Precision Rifle Gear RRS vs Leupold vs Vortex

    Here's something I posted a while back about why I ended up with a RRS tripod: My first tripod I tried to use for shooting was an aluminum Manfrotto with a camera ballhead that I put a Hogsaddle on. The legs flexed so much that I could make it work but to shoot well off that tripod was really...

    Help me not hate my RRS Anvil 30

    I'm trying to figure out how your Anvil 30 latch isn't locking up tight because I have dovetail mounts from Area 419, HRD, KRG, MPA chassis, and camera mounts from Sunwayfoto, to no name mounts from Amazon and they all lock up tight. Are you rotating the latch 180 degrees from full unlock to...
