    Any reason to do more load development?

    Actually I was being serious. I see all the stuff folks do here to get accurate loads ( determine optimum loaded length, bullet jump, standard deviation in velocities, etc.) and figured my just loading of 6 loads in a weight range I found optimal in a similar rifle and coming up with this load...

    Any reason to do more load development?

    Just got a new AX 308. Tried loads in the range my AI/AT liked. 43.8gr Varget , small rifle mag primer CCI, Lapua Palma brass gave me following groups: 5 shots 100yds 5 shots at 300yds, the 3 touching were first three shots, when I looked at group I got excited and all as this was only...

    Two sets of dies for two rifles same calibre???

    Thanks for the input. I am not altering factory Accuracy international barrels. Factory 308 ammo works perfectly well in new rifle. For my simple minded purposes a set of dies for each rifle is no issue upon reflection. Get the seconds dies set up and viola! load for each rifle. I am already...

    Two sets of dies for two rifles same calibre???

    Just bought a second AI rifle.Got it set up to go try it out and get scope sorted out. Put some my loads from my first AI in. Firsts round in mag, work bolt and :eek: can't close the bolt.. First rifle is set up to my satisfaction, got my load settled, real easy to crank out ammo and go shoot...

    SVT 40 Sniper Rifle, rare bird

    More of a chin weld, similar to Mosin PU. I put a leather cheek piece on the latter. Don't shoot the SVT sniper that much.

    Rifle Scopes Do Scopes Go Bad With Age?

    I have had two Leupold hunting scopes have the power adjustment ring freeze after 10+ years of infrequent use. Both were replaced with new scopes under Leupold warranty. These were VariX II and III models.

    If you think bayonets are pricey, try and find an original SVT40 scope mount!

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta Gen3 XR - details and images

    I have 2 Kahles 624i scopes with SKMR3 reticles. I obviously like the Kahles. I find the centre dot seems a bit too small in some lighting and target instances and think a slightly larger dot might prove helpful in those less than ideal field conditions ( fog, overcast low light early/late in...

    Wonder if anyone else got off the K525i band wagon due to the final announcement of the new Tangent Theta reticle?I decided to wait and see what all the chatter is about with the Tangent Theta scopes. Have two Kahles K624i and am really happy with them and just couldn't convince myself there...

    Match bullet stockpiling, smart? stupid? OCD???

    I shoot a fair amount, other than hunting in the fall , it's my main diversion. In the past when I found a good price on uncommon bullets/ brass for my old lever action rifles (348Winchester, 250-3000 savage, 375Win, etc) I would buy as much as I could afford. Seemed a bit much at the time but...

    SVT 40 Sniper Rifle, rare bird

    There is a rail on the receiver cover, notch at the rear and a cross pin to keep it in place. I have a brass buffer that i made to wrap around the cross pin to keep from peening the notch. Many early SVT had the rail, only the sniper versions had the notch. Faking the notch is a major issue in...

    SVT 40 Sniper Rifle, rare bird

    Recoil spring guide is two pieces, it has to be juggled to fit back in. Three hands and steel fingers would really help. Guys online will say it's not that hard after awhile. I have not found it so. It is an elegant sort of rifle and slings those 7.62x54R rounds down range with alacrity. It is...

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr mount, need a second scope level??

    Does anyone have a photo of an aftermarket level device on a Spuhr mounted scope? I'd love to see it. My new scope arrives in next 2 weeks and I'd like to get my mount right quick. Got $500 burning a hole in my pocket. Thanks!
