    Precision Rifle Gear Real world tripod stability expectations

    That’s actually a good thing to consider. I checked the specs of the 34 and it’s essentially the same standing height as my Leo 324. It would add maybe 1/2 pound to my set up, but that should be a considerable increase in stability. The RRS 34 or 33 has a much higher weight rating. Could be the...

    Precision Rifle Gear Real world tripod stability expectations

    I’m relatively new to tripod shooting. I compete in local matches and hunt, but just being honest that it’s only been a year since getting my first “good” shooting tripod set-up. I didn’t F up and got a RRS anvil 30 head. No complaints there. Where I might have F-d is going with a Leofoto...

    Need a bino harness recommendation for NRL Hunter

    I had an AGC but switched binos this year and had to get a larger chest pack. I went with the fully enclosed marsupial gear, with rangefinder pouch and down under pouch. I’d rank the Marsupial system as far better than the AGC. I have the magnetic version, and my only issue is with the down...

    Sizing dies: custom vs bushing vs standard

    I normally run Redding FL bushing dies when sizing brass, but recently built a 300 wsm and a buddy had an RCBS FL die he didn’t need and gave it to me. I pulled the expander ball and decapping pin from it and just bump the shoulder 0.002”, then finish with an expander mandrel for proper neck...

    Magneto Speed V3 Mounting Options

    I have the MK machining mount. No complaints at all, except when I mount it directly to the Arca rail on my XLR chassis it moves forward a tad with each shot. After three shots it falls off. I now mount it to a pic rail and problem solved. Not sure why but even if I tightened it down a bunch to...

    Magnetospeed v3 at Cabelas?

    The bayonets are not the same. I have a sporter and had to dremmel a chunk off to allow it to work with a can. If you don’t have a can, either one will work for your set up. If you use a can the v3 bayonet works for that as is, no mods necessary. My sporter bayonet is permanently modified to...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 5-20x50 HD vs Midas TAC 6-24x50?

    Almost all of the Aadamount stuff is always backordered. He makes them as the orders come in. Order one and you shall receive.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 5-20x50 HD vs Midas TAC 6-24x50?

    Head over to the Aadmount website and buy the parallax gripper for the SWFA 5-20. It’s listed as backordered, but just buy it and he makes them as orders come in. I had one on my old 5-20 and it was well worth it for the notoriously stiff parallax knob.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 5-20x50 HD vs Midas TAC 6-24x50?

    I really liked my SWFA 5-20. I replaced it with the latest DMR3, and the bushy is a little better, but for $800 the SWFA is a solid buy. There are times I would prefer the simple mil dot reticle, but other times I’m happy with the G4P reticle. The G4 is fairly thin and can get tough to see...

    Precision Rifle Gear Cut foam in hard case with rifle scope up?

    Not a super important question, but I have a hard sided rifle case with foam padding in it like just about all hard sided cases. I’m going to make the cuts in the foam for my rifle, can, mags, etc, and my thinking is to cut the rifle portion so the scope sits up when using the middle handle. I...

    Savage Kaboom at Local Range

    Maybe there’s a link with savage .338 lapua owners. I hate to say that as I do own a savage action that I went full retard on, and it’s a phenomenal custom rifle, but so dumb considering I saved $600 over just buying a custom action and going to town. That was a long time ago. Lots have changed...

    Savage Kaboom at Local Range

    No, I’m in Grant County, Oregon. Small rural area between Bend and Boise.

    Savage Kaboom at Local Range

    Local guy a few years ago did something similar with a savage rifle in .338 Lapua. Barrel was split 4 ways, most of the receiver blew up and he almost lost an eye. His hand needed more than a few stitches. I always knew he was a dumb fuck, so when the cause turned out to be the fact he...

    Have scope prices really ballooned as of late?

    I have a 4.5-18 non-illuminated on one of my main hunting rifles. I like it a lot, and the reticle is great for a dedicated hunting rifle. That being said, if you can find one for around $700 for the non-ill, I’d say that’s fair and worth it. I think I paid $650 for mine brand new on a close...

    Biggest unicorn

    I haven’t seen a box of large rifle magnum primers in years. I’m down to ration time with my cci 250 lrm.

    Is a NEW Tikka T3x stainless action & trigger worth $985?

    I built 2 rifles that are excellent shooters off Tikka actions. Love them, but that was when I could snag used stainless barreled actions for $$450-500. When the tikka craze really kicked in about 3-4 years ago, I’m not so sure the prices for them now are worth it if you’re immediately going to...

    Reloading stores around KC?

    I’m in the Kansas City area for the next few days and curious if there are any places in the vicinity that may have some large rifle magnum primers in stock? I really don’t need much of anything else, but I would drive just about anywhere within the area to snag some LRM primers. Long shot, I...

    Which length Atlas Cal?

    I bought a tall, and I’m on the fence if the standard size wouldn’t be a better fit. The tall is nice for hunting and adds a little more versatility. I’m a tall guy but not the most endowed in neck height. Shooting off a bench I usually have the legs in the forward position because at 90...

    New to gas guns, 6mm arc build advice

    I’m not set on building vs buying a complete rifle. I like to tinker, but sounds like I’d have a little easier time just going with a complete gun. It seems like AR’s are all over the map price-wise. I’ve looked at some nice guns in the $2500 range, but there’s plenty out there for $1,500 that...

    New to gas guns, 6mm arc build advice

    I’m totally new to semi auto rifle builds so I have a few basic questions. When I say new to them I mean totally green. I own some semi 22lr’s and shotguns, but haven’t played around with very many semi auto rifles. Not in any rush, but I’m thinking about a new build/purchase. I have plenty of...
