    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST Wear

    As you can see the upper left hand quadrant of the scope (2 mil up, 2 mil left) there is a tiny fragment of I am guessing where the reticle came apart. It happened this past Sunday after my second shot and at first I just thought it was a spec of dirt or dust but when I wiped the scope down it...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST Wear

    Well after about 200 rounds or so of my Savage 110 in .338 Lapua the scope is showing some signs of wear. The gun has always had a brake on it and I changed out the factory brake to a 4 ported after market brake that tames the .338 to a mere .308 non-braked recoil gun. I guess we will see how...

    Seating depth with Bergers

    Re: Seating depth with Bergers I am going to load some more rounds this week. Probably stick with 24.0 grains of varget and just try seating depth variations. I will load 8-10 rounds for each variation and shoot 8-10 round groups to see how it does. Would love to do 10-15 round groups but I...

    Seating depth with Bergers

    Re: Seating depth with Bergers This group was shot at 100 yds and I'm pretty sure I pulled the one shot. I know I could've shot better but it was around 30 degrees without wind chill and the wind was blowing 15-20 mph so I thought it was a fair group for the conditions. Seems like every week...

    Seating depth with Bergers

    Re: Seating depth with Bergers I was shooting at a small private range in Federalsburg, MD. Marshy Hope Rod and Gun Club. They have a 300 yard range. I heard the VLD's were fussy on setaing depth as well but they seemed to shoot okay at 2.250" which is mag capatible. Might be able to go...

    Pic from a friend

    Re: Pic from a friend Wow! That does look nice. I'd definitely like to see it coated. Would be sick if each flute alternated colors.

    Rem 700, AICS, Vortex build

    Re: Rem 700, AICS, Vortex build Got ya. I guess that makes sense. That way the scope is contacting the rings 100%. Never figured the "goop" would act as a sand paper. You learn something new everyday.

    Rem 700, AICS, Vortex build

    Re: Rem 700, AICS, Vortex build I have never seen pictures or in person a scope being lapped. Not really understanding the concept or reason why the adehsive or grease like substance is for. I am guessing this is because the two points of each cylinder in the rings did not match up. Does the...

    Re: Just got LUCKY on a new ACC-SD!! Thats a heck of a buy. A buddy of mine has one and with the factory hogue stock and a Vortex Viper PST on top he had Federal Match Ammo making one ragged hole at 100 yards with 5 shots. I was very impressed with the gun and ammo combination. Gunsmith...

    Seating depth with Bergers

    Re: Seating depth with Bergers Well I shot the gun today and got pretrty good results with 24.0 grains of varget. Only problem was the 15-25 mph winds and 30-32 degree weather so may have been able to shoot a little better. Had 3 shots in less than the size of a quarter and the 4th was a...

    Re: Savage Gunsmithing Thanks for the isight tomme boy. I have heard some horror stories with scheudling at SSS and was not going to use them. As far as your question goes you are right so the lugs must be trued as well. Either the entire thing must be trued or nothing is how I see it...

    Re: Manners T4/T4A or T5/T5A Follow up questions: Paint for the new stock- Who does nice digital camo work? Cerakote for barrel and action? And How much? Also I have seen a few AI stocks on here that have the snake skin looking paint jobs where it fades in certain parts. What is that...

    Re: Manners T4/T4A or T5/T5A Just ordered a Manners T5 from Stockys. Will be here Feb 20th and I can't wait. I decided to pull the trigger on th T5 just because if it is anything like previous thumb holed guns I've shot I will like the feel and hold it provides. I wanted the T5A and stockys...
