    DIP rail + QD scope mount?

    Hey Guys, Does anyone know if there are any QD scope mounts that will work with the DIP rail (for a CZ 455) ? Until I can afford another scope I want to be able to swap my main optic faster than using normal rings. I like the larue spr mounts, but not sure if this is possible with the DIP...

    CZ455 trainer or ANSCHUTZ?

    I suppose the anschutz would be more accurate out of the box, but the possible future addition of a lilja match barrel on the CZ might change the tables on that. I do see the appeal of a more tactical manners stock though. Personally I'm thinking about swapping my CZ 455 varmint for an...

    Might I suggest: Mail Call Mondays Season 2 #12 - Scope Ring Height - YouTube He has some really simple tricks to figure out what you need.

    AI AWM - .300 Win Mag?

    Am I missing something? The AI AWM in 300wm is still being made/sold isn't it? Or are you waiting for them to make an AE 300wm? That would be pretty nice though, since we can't own a .338 over here, I might get one myself should they come out a few years from now. I wouldn't hold my breath though.

    Rifle Scopes Scope choice

    I have a similar problem. I really want a S&B 5-25 PMII, but no way in hell that I will be able to afford one this year due to buying my AI. Seems like AI's just NEED to have an S&B though. But then I also really want to get a nice AR, and I could get that AND a vortex 6-24 ffp for about the...

    Rifle Scopes POA-POI at 100 yrds, but 4-5 MOA right at 400 yrds ?????

    Also, 4-5moa or 4-5" at 400? You would need about 10mph to throw it 4-5moa, but considerably less for 4-5". (I'm calculating with a ballistic calculator in meters and converting manually. Please correct me if I'm off somewhere)

    Re-doing my 22LR Trainer setup -OR- talk me out of buying more stuff

    Yes, except that I have the 4/4 set not the 6/4, but height is the same. So vortex lows should be fine at least for the objective. As for the eyepiece, if it is smaller than mine, you should be okay. If this is yours: Vortex Optics - Viper PST 2.5-10x44 EBR-1 MRAD , you should be okay, since...

    Re-doing my 22LR Trainer setup -OR- talk me out of buying more stuff

    Mine are the low ones from seekins, the bolt has some play in it, and it does touch the eyepiece/parallax ring just barely. I don't have anything to measure mine, but the SWFA site says: 46mm / 1.811". I'd take that as a maximum with low rings (though not every manufacturers low ring with be...

    Fixed the rail, this is how it should look:

    I just noticed mine is mounted to far forward, I'll have to fix that.

    Re-doing my 22LR Trainer setup -OR- talk me out of buying more stuff

    I have the regular one, but maybe with a longer scope you might need it. Here are some pics <images removed, check couple posts down> Don't know if it's bad to have the mounts stick out a bit. If you don't like that, you may need to get the extended one. Though I could still mount it one slot back.

    DIP is pretty much the go-to base. By the way, How about some pics?!? ;)

    Accuracy International Owners

    AFAIK there is no way to change to stock from fixed to folding. I would ask on any of the Australian gun forums if anyone owns a folding AI, if so how did they do it. Are there any AI dealers/importers? Or will you be using sporting services?

    Experience with speer HPBT bullets .308 ?

    Does anyone have experience with speer HPBT Match bullets? I'm thinking about buying some for load development as they seem affordable. Sadly, minimum quantity here is 500, while sierra and lapua sell per 100. Since most of my shooting will be sub 300meters, 90% being at 100meters (~110y or...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Trigger Upgrade?

    What I did was, lighter connector but heavier trigger spring (results in less slack, while the connector obviously results in less poundage overall), and polish the rest of the components (.25ct job). Don't replace the striker spring as well if you want reliability and a working safety.

    Help me prioritize. New stock vs. handloading

    It's been nearly 8 months since I've asked this question, but felt it needed a follow-up. I did get the reloading kit before even getting a rifle. Started reloading for my 9mm. As for the rifle, let me quote myself: Guess what, I decided to be patient and live on bread, rice and water for 7...

    AR15 Platform....which brand/model ?

    Since it's in Europe, also check out: Schmeisser (Schmeisser GmbH Germany), DAR (DAR ? Dynamic Arms Research »*Herzlich Willkommen), Hera Arms (Hera Arms) I've heard good things about all of them. I'm leaning towards a schmeisser (~1700-2000 euro) myself, but if you have more to spend, DAR would...

    AI AE MKIII in .308 or Rem 700

    You're comparing a basic bolt gun to one of the most high-end factory bolt guns. With that kind of budget, yeah, AI for sure.

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    While I don't think a airgun subforum is warranted, perhaps a sticky with relevant airgun threads would be nice. This thread being the first of potentially many to come.
