    Rem 700 scope base suggestions please

    Badger. Nightforce is basically a copy of the Badger base. The Nightforce also has the recoil lug like Badger. Both are the best you can get. A cheaper option would be Leupold Mark 4 if you don't want the extra length that hangs over the recoil lug. The two-piece base on your 700P is most...

    What sniper rifle is this?

    There was a book published in 2001 titled Cold Zero by an FBI HRT sniper Chris Whitcomb. I don't have it anymore but I remember he got very detailed about gear. It wouldn't surprise me if the rifles they were issued were described in it. Also In the book, he wrote chapters about both Waco...

    Badger M5 Enhanced - Mag release WAY too light

    Yeah all 3 ACIS mags release the same. Two 10-rounders and the 5-round that came with the DBM. All mags and DBM are brand new (bought from Europtic) and none of the mags have any wear on the notches. I haven't tried to fix it or do anything to it yet so nothing has been altered. I'm not a...

    Best $100-ish bipod

    Thank you Jake for taking the time to post those pics. That is helpful and I understand now. I've seen that 'out-of-square' term mentioned before with the Harris bipods but I was unsure exactly which angles were the cause of the issue.

    Best $100-ish bipod

    What's this "out of square" thing and how do the legs not match up? The bipod was the reason your rifle recoils to the left?
