    Nice humble brag

    Rifle Scopes How rugged are the Athlon Cronus scopes?

    You really will have no idea how robust your scope is until you break it and all you will know then is it is not quite "that" robust. There are no real indicators other than testing. Weight doesn't show very much, most of the weight is glass anyway and glass is tender stuff. Yeah, it is hard...

    Range Report 123gn Scenar limitations?

    It could be that that load was not suitable for 1000. MV seems awfully low for a 123.

    David Hogg discovers the Bill of Rights

    What he, and many others, fail to understand is the Constitution was written by a number of successful revolutionaries as a restriction on the government, not the people. The Bill of Rights, in particular, clearly illuminates what the government may not do. His drivel and the spouting thereof...

    mpa ba chassis lug lock?

    Looking at the video, I would snug the action screws to remove all vertical play, tighten the lug lock to its full 30 inch/lb value and then final torque the action screws.

    Maggie’s Wolves vs Mountain Lion

    My Afghan was young and stupid, we lived in the city and she was much more of a lap dog than a hunter. Gorgeous animal but really tough to maintain with that coat. I one watched her respond to a call by my father, whom she loved. She was on the other side of a parked car when he called her...

    First LR rifle ever. First day at the range.

    Not enough information to provide a meaningful answer. What kind of rifle? What adjustments to the chassis are available and what have you done? What caliber and are you shooting factory ammo? If so, what kind? What is your shooting experience? Do you know how to get a good zero? Do you know...

    Maggie’s Wolves vs Mountain Lion

    Same thing that wolves do. The pack gives them a huge advantage. Alternating chasers with resters, most of the pack will circle to cut off fast prey and even if they can't a wolf can run all day long, maybe not flat out but at say 90% speed. They are built to run with huge chests and...

    Stupid question of the day: Barrel Brake vs. caliber

    I have used a 223 brake on a 6.5 rifle simply because I had one. Simple matter to chuck it up in a lathe and bore it 0.040 over the size. Actually I went 0.040 over the new bore size so nearly 7 mm. Brake is effective.

    Maggie’s Wolves vs Mountain Lion

    You won't see it. Cats are basically ambush predators. It will drop on you from a tree or attack from behind. Wolves, on the other hand will come at you from any direction. Their hunting methods are different with the wolf relying on stamina to chase down prey where the cat will sneak up on...

    Getting on paper when zeroing?

    Use a bigger piece of paper and if you can see the bullet strike, use your reticle to adjust. If you are asking this question, I'll assume you are fairly new to getting a rifle on target. The other problem here is that you may not have made a good shot to begin with. You can get the basis...

    bolt 6.5 creedmoor barrel life?

    I'm confused. Someone please define "shot out" for me. I would not consider a barrel to be shot out until accuracy drops off and cannot be brought back. I understand a loss of velocity might require new data but, so long as you are getting good accuracy, I would think that the barrel is still...

    Rifle Scopes Unimount on Bolt Rifle?

    Holding zero will be close when going back on the same rifle but may not be perfect. You should always reconfirm your zero after scope fiddling. From rifle to rifle, it will be a complete crap shoot. Count yourself lucky to stay on paper at 100. Of course, if the scope tracks and you use...

    Hogg ain't happy.

    Aren't all school doors fire doors with crowd bars on them already? Most of those can be locked on the outside or actuated with a key lock from the outside but still permit egress. Of course, fire regulations may insist that ingress be provided for fire and rescue people which is a whole...

    Eye straight in the scope

    From the look of that, there is no adjustment possible. You would have to see a stock maker to have them construct you a new cheek piece. Although, a good machine shop might be able to mill out the reinforcing area and provide a new, offset mountain hole in one of the available spaces...

    Eye straight in the scope

    There are adjustable cheek pieces available and it really isn't all that much trouble to make your own. A place to look for these things is in the trap shooting world. Any decent gun smith or machinist should be able to modify your existing cheek piece to make it adjustable left to right.

    Florida SRO resigns instead of being fired. He failed to react.

    If the doer was cutting himself and gathering weapons, he should have been Baker acted. That would have prevented him from legally obtaining a gun or having deadly weapons in his possession. I read somewhere that that was tried on him and the social worker did not commit him. There are so many...

    Florida SRO resigns instead of being fired. He failed to react.

    I have a somewhat different take on this. I am appalled that it was allowed to happen at all but that is another scenario. The security guard, IMHO, had a couple of functions, regardless of his title. 1. He should have assessed the situation. More on this later. 2. He should have immediately...

    Eye straight in the scope

    If the rifle fits you, your shooting eye (doesn't have to be your dominant eye) should be centered behind the eyepiece of the scope. Centered both vertically and horizontally. The scope should be at the proper height above the bore as well. This is what adjustable cheek pieces are for. I...

    Extra Surgeon 591 Bolt fit an RSR receiver?

    Well, the 591 is pretty much a 700 clone so you shouldn't have all that much trouble. Take lots of measurements.
