    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite Tactical line glass ranking?

    In general, I find Bushnell glass to be adequate to my needs. Even the 3x9 from the early 60s on my 243 Mauser custom does the job for me. I may not be able to pick out the ticks on a deer's neck at 200 yards but so long as I can determine the junction of the leg and chest, the deer is gonna...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Leveling Jig

    You can buy adjustable parallels in a number of sizes that will work and they are relatively cheap. Of course, you still need parallel surfaces to work with. I still prefer to use a plumb line.

    Will an AE Mk 1 fit in an AX-AICS????

    I don't know the difference in various actions that well. I do know that a Pierce action can be made to work in an AI-AX chassis, cause I have one. The rifle was built by Accurate Ordinance up in GA.

    PMM Ruger Precision Magazine Release.(RPMR)

    First you have to become a Vendor, the vendor section has a set of rules attached that tell you all about it and what fees are involved. You may be able to delete your post and then repost once you have become a vendor. Thank you for being concerned about this. Without this arrangement, the...

    Help with stubborn dog, paging Bogey

    Jump and bite (play nip) is part of normal dog behavior. A knee to the stomach a few times, I take that back, every time is the solution. You shouldn't lift the dog off the ground but it should be unpleasant. As to the running away stuff, there is no cure for it, dogs will run. Getting them...

    PMM Ruger Precision Magazine Release.(RPMR)

    If you are offering these for free, you are fine. Otherwise, they belong in the vendor section.

    Magazine issues - need advice

    No way would I bend the feed lips on a magazine, rifle or pistol. Now, would I take a dremel and a fine stone to the underside of those lips after careful exploration to locate the burr that is causing the scratches? Yes but with a caution that you are only seeking to lightly contour the edge...

    Rifle Scopes Unable to dial out prallax

    Step 1 is to get your ocular right, that is the front focus, movable lens at the end of the scope. Mount your gun in your normal fashion and aim at a flat white wall or even blue sky. Adjust the ocular lens until your cross hairs are in perfect focus as best you can manage. Play back and...

    Hello and first rifle caliber rec...6.5 or 223?

    At the ranges you will be shooting, the 223 will be adequate but only just if there is any wind blowing and poor if you haven't learned to read wind yet. There is really not a heck of a lot of difference in factory ammo costs between the 6.5CM and 223 if you are talking match grade ammo...

    Rifle Scopes Suggestions for a mid-level bolt gun scope mount: no cantilever, no qd

    I don't think you will find anything in that price range for a one piece mount but there are lots of rings in there or even a bit less.

    Rifle Scopes movingmy scope back

    Again, I'm not backing off from my original statement, remember that 300 yard zero. Damn few people are shooting bug holes at 300, in fact, damn few guns can do that. I will say that if it is my gun, I'm going back to the bench to dial it in after a move. I do like hitting what I am aiming at.

    Rifle Scopes movingmy scope back

    Yes, I do understand that. I'm a mechanical engineer and a millwright. The OP stated he was going to slide the scope in the rings. In other words, he was moving it within a tube, no different than if the scope were a solid shaft. If all is properly machined and aligned, he is only making an...

    Rifle Scopes movingmy scope back

    OK, now somebody has to explain how the rail cant and moving the scope either on the rail or just sliding it back in the rings is gonna effect zero in any way. I can see a very slight effect if the scope is not rotated perfectly square either before of after but elevation adjustment should not...

    New Tikka T3X CTR...non 1" moa

    I know nothing about lead free ammo, I have 2 6.5 rifles, one in Creedmoor and one in x47 Lapua. With 120-140g bullets in factory match ammo, either will shoot 5 shot groups in <1/2" all day long. Both guns are full customs though assembled by well known gun smiths with top quality barrels...

    Trainer rifle

    I love 22s, I have a whole pile of the things in my gun room. You can certainly do better than that 10/22. You can also modify the little Ruger with enough stuff to make a shooter out of it. It'll cost ya plenty though. Look through the classified sections here and pick the poison your wallet...

    Mauser 98 vs Remington 700...??

    I see nothing wrong with the Mauser 98 action and a whole lot to like about it. I take issue with a few of the statements made here as I read through the thread though. The Mauser was the most popular action for African game guides cause it was readily available and cheap, not because it was...

    .300 win mag high pressures?

    The thread seems to be abandoned but I would like to make one more comment here. Is it possible that your 100 yard zero was established with a rising bullet? It may even be likely with a 300 WinMag. I suspect you are extrapolating data about bullet velocity from the come up on your scope which...

    Let's talk LH Gain Twist barrels

    Coriolis is real and it is physics. You can hold for it if you wish. A word of caution though, unless you are shooting at ranges over 5-20 miles, I doubt you will notice the effects. It becomes important in field and naval artillary where ranges are measured in multiple 1000s of yards and...

    How to decide custom gun builder

    An alternative perspective is to go with an already built rifle from those that offer them. My first precision rifle was built by Accurate Ordinance and sold to someone. I bought mine, new in box, from a guy in the flea market and the gun has been an absolute dream to shoot. Accurate always...
