    Trimming Lapua 308 Palma brass

    Oops! I trim my brass using a Lee hand tool. Can't use my Lee tool with Lapua 308 Palma SRP brass, the pin is too large, I would assume this would be a problem with all other SRP Lapua brass. Suggestions? I assume I could have a machinist /gunsmith turn the pin to a smaller diameter???? Or step...

    AXMC buying options question

    In Canada one can't buy an AXMC in 300 NormaMag. You can get AXMC in 308 or 300WinMag or 338Lapua. PERIOD. AI won't allow Canadian wholesaler to sell in 300Norma mag for various and sundry reasons. I have no interest in 338 Lapua ( maybe I should) but find 300 NormaMag tantalizing. Which would...

    Calipers

    The Mitutoyo calipes come in 0-6" and 0-8" size. Is there a reason to get the larger one? I shoot up to 338 WinMag. Would the larger be needed for 300NormaMag, 338 Lapua> I have no desire ever to load 50 cal!

    Rifle Scopes What scope for a post-war Savage 99?

    Leupold 1.5-6 or 2.5-8x works well on my 99's. Fixed 3x also is nice.

    Rifle Scopes Razor 4-27 kahles 525i or NF 7-35 atacr?

    Regarding your eyesight,I am almost 70y.o. and really like my Kahles K624i, you should consider it. I am very critical and after 2 years still really pleased with it. I considered the K525i seriously,but the more I read and heard about it I could see no real advantage over my "older" model. I...

    Rifle Scopes Clarification please, Tangent Theta Parallax range

    Mine reaches max (infinity) at 400yds. Checked it three times. Rechecked torque on Spuhr mounts 3 times. Definitely not right. Starting process of sending it back. New production glitch I suspect given the number of folks with same problem. Bummer.

    Rifle Scopes Clarification please, Tangent Theta Parallax range

    Back to range again. No mirage. Parallax basically maxed out at 400yds. Compared with my Kahles at same distance Kahles was at about 400yds on parallax ring at 400yds with obviously lots of adjustment leeway for further distances.I think the parallax adjustment must be out of whack. There was a...

    No. It was 32 degrees, no wind and I was shooting a second rifle and the scope on that rifle did not give me any issues.

    Rifle Scopes Clarification please, Tangent Theta Parallax range

    First range trip with new Tangent Theta 5-25 scope. Parallax adjustment seems to run out at 400-500 yds, most of range in parallax adjustment is 300yds and less. Not at all like my other scopes (Sightron and Kahles). Am I doing something wrong/stupid.? Read manual and no enlightenment. Is this...

    Rifle Scopes SPUHR mount question

    Looking at my SPUHR mount, my first. The upper rings are different, one marked A-40 and A-41. They are different the A-42 has 4 extra holes. I assume these are for attaching things to the mount. Does that ring go in the front or the back? Rationale for placement. Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes I got mine, Jack! TT Gen3

    Yes it is f'n expensive even in Canuck bucks. I am a fairly tightwad oldster but no buyer's remorse other than I wish it had been out when I bought my second Kahles :D, The glass assessment is by a set of 70 year old eyes , your results may vary.
