    Best lightweight and non bulky folding stock Rem SA

    If I remove the barreled action the chassis should be "HD friendly". Actually I was there today but I didn't look at swatches. I did replace some of my LED bulbs with new generation daylight (5k) bulbs. Under that light my wife says it's bronze. Under incandescent light it looks tan. I don't...

    Scales scales scales... tell me about your scale!

    Richard Lee (of Lee Precision) has written that when the goal is precision, it's possible volume is a better way to meter out charges than weight. A friend of mine gets very good SDs using a Chargemaster which cannot resolve down to the kernel. For a given powder/primer/bullet/barrel combination...

    Best lightweight and non bulky folding stock Rem SA

    It's not gold to my eye but my wife tells me I'm color-dumb. It looks bronze to me, though. The only way to accurately describe a color to another person is to have a reference paint chips or a colorwheel or the like. That's not easy to do without a lot of work. How do you think they'll react at...

    Scales scales scales... tell me about your scale!

    Orkan's statement that the Prometheus is the best is firmly rooted in the (incorrect) belief that no advances have been made since the Prometheus was designed. I will pit my $600 AnD FX300 lab balance against the mechanical scale in the Prometheus any day and the AnD will best it in every...

    Best lightweight and non bulky folding stock Rem SA

    I just got mine. Like it a lot, very well executed, fit and finish is top shelf. Nice robust hinge design.

    The rebate is from the manufacturer of the balance (AnD) and has nothing to do with the auto-addons.

    I put a dogleg bend end at the end of the straw. It decerates the kernels before they dump into the plastic cup provided with the thrower, zero bounces. Haven't used it much; assembled an OCW with 115 DTACs (33 rounds) for my new 6x47 Lapua and 50 rounds of 6.5 CM. It works very well IMHO. Much...

    A&D FX120i labscale reloading upgrade with V2 auto trickler review.

    I've had my FX300 for a few years. At the time I bought it, the cost was around $25 more than the 120 with the same resolution/precision plus a 320 gram capacity. You never know when you might have to reload a howitzer, after all. I recently bought the Autotrickler, then added the dumper 6 weeks...

    Rifle Scopes Another Vortex down

    Yeah, a warranty doesn't cover the cost of the hunting trip where the scope failure leaves the shooter without a weapon.

    Safran/ Vectronix Terrapin-X *** Update***

    No offense taken. I have a PLRF15C and it's amazing. I don't like to think about what happens if it goes tits up. When I bought it (used), I justified the cost by telling myself it should last at least a decade. Now I'm afraid to take it out for fear it gets dropped.

    Rifle Scopes Parallax questions

    Which is why I advocate fine tuning the diopter.

    Safran/ Vectronix Terrapin-X *** Update***

    Sure, they're attentive when you're interested in buying. Let's see how long their attention span is when someone needs help after shelling out $2K.

    As good as it gets, pretty much.

    Rifle Scopes Parallax questions

    Unless there is something wrong with the scope, once the diopter has been properly adjusted to where the reticle is focused to the shooter's eye, when the target image is focused by adjusting the SF/parallax, there should be no parallax error. Understand that the SF/parallax adjustment moves...

    Lightweight one piece Rem 700SA chassis

    The mag release is a nice detail. Definitely a good looking chassis.

    Rifle Scopes Just ordered a Minox from CST!

    The benefits of the MR4 over the MR2 are floating dot center and christmas tree style elevation plus wind holds, also, much more of the reticle is illuminated. If you have no need for the added clutter of the christmas tree and you can forgive the traditional crosshair center (the line weight is...

    AI AT headspace?

    As I understand it, factory AI headspace is purposely loose to ensure the rifles can chamber any ammo, even in foul conditions. My AX came with an AINA (Bartlein/Tooley) .308 barrel that shoots great. The chamber is definitely not tight. I bump the shoulder .002" every 3rd reload (Lee collet die...

    Rifle Scopes Just ordered a Minox from CST!

    I bought both of my ZP5s from CST, great prices. I'm pleased to hear the current production scopes have good turrets. My first (MR2) went back to Germany to rebuild the turrets and they are now better than those on my MR4. The turrets on my MR4 aren't bad, either. As mentioned, CA is...
