    Dasher in an R700?

    I had a 6 Dasher in a Remington 700 action for a while. It fed fine, but the empty would end up in the ejection port almost every time. I eventually gave up and went with a Bighorn. Now I want another Dasher in a 700 action, the very same action if truth be told. A local shooter said he'd...

    Anyone drive a Rivian R1T?

    If yes, I'd love to have a conversation off-line. Another member here and I designed an accessory for the R1T, and we're looking for a few Rivian owners to post links to our website on some of the Rivian focused Facebook pages.

    Valk magazines for 6ARC?

    I'm switching from Valkyrie to 6ARC. I'm sure this has been discussed in the 6ARC thread, but I apparantly suck at searching. Any chance my Valk mags will work with the ARC?

    What cartridge?

    I already have several ARs set up for long range shooting in .223. I have a Valk that has driven me to despair. I’m finished with that barrel at a minimum, and maybe also the cartridge entirely. As a result, I have a tricked out rifle and I need to decide on a new cartridge to try or talk...

    34mm cantilevered scope mount w/RMR at 12:00

    I want to mount an RMR at 12:00 on a Vortex 1-10. Looking for a cantilever mount that will allow me to attach the RMR directly to the mount. I can do it with Spuhr, but I'm wondering if there are any other options.

    A tale of two Bartlein barrels - Cryo treatment?

    I have the two barrels pictured. Both are 1-7 Bartlien blanks, both chambered and profiled by Compass Lake with their CLE chamber. The fatty is 12.5", the other is 11.5" The load is 77 TMK's over 23.0 g of 8208 XBR. The first 5 shot groups out of both barrels are equivalent, roughly 5/8"...

    DBAL mounted at 3:00 or 9:00?

    My DBAL obscures 40% of my view through my daytime optic (NF NX8) in a 1.5” mount. I’d rather not mount the scope higher. I can take the DBAL off for day use, but I’m wondering what the pitfalls are of mounting it at 3:00 or 9:00.

    Where to buy a DBAL-D2?

    Seems like everywhere I look they are exactly the same price. I'm assuming that's Steiner imposing minimum advertised price. Any suggestions on where to get a better deal?

    Best mini-red dot for NV use?

    The choices I think I've heard referenced as being candidates are the Trijicon RMR, SRO, and the Leupold Delta Point NV. It's going to get mounted on top of a LPVO. I'm worried it'll get banged around which leads me to the RMR, but I've seen several reviewers rate the other two as better...

    Sig customer service

    I dropped my Sig kilo 3000 rangefinders at a match last week. Actually they blew over while attached to the tripod and hit concrete. Came up nonfunctional. I returned them and sent a letter explaining exactly what had happened and offering to pay for repairs. Instead, they sent me a new pair at...

    Anyone ever gotten through to Sig customer service?

    I broke my Kilo 3000's a few weeks ago. I've sent a couple messages through the website and just today waited in the telephone que. After holding for an hour or so it started ringing, but no one ever picked up. I'm hoping it's just holiday season backup. Anyone else ever had success...

    Rifle Scopes Point of aim changing with temperature?

    I purchased a used high end scope from someone here on the hide. On three occasions it appeared to have lost zero. I put it in my tracking jig, and it seems to track just fine. While testing it, I thought I noticed that the point of aim was moving around as it warmed up in the sun. All three...

    How to tell when a buffer or BCG is too light?

    I'm building a Valk on a 24" barrel, +2" gas. I got to thinking about what BCG and buffer to use. I'll be running a JP SCS, so I have 2 oz of adjustability available there. I also have a selection of JP BCG's to choose from. JP Aluminum - 6oz Jp Lmos - 9 oz JP Standard - 11 oz JP...

    Nice customer service from Wilson Combat

    I bought a WC matched upper and lower and promptly lost the little rubber widget it comes with to tension the fit between them. The nice guy who answered the phone (a small miracle in itself in the gun industry) pulled one out of his desk drawer and shipped it to me. No fuss, no muss, and no...

    FS : Leica Geovid 10x42 HD-Y LRF

    These are three or four years old now. Glass and function are perfect. The show light signs of field use, but look quite nice. Obviously, the view through them is amazing. It looks like this particular model is no longer offered, but they were on the order of $3K when I bought them. $1,200...

    Better ammo with a round nosed bullet (not Eley EPS) for CLE Upper?

    I've always been an Eley guy, but my new Compass Lake upper won't feed any Eley ammo that uses the EPS bullet. Round nosed bullets only. I've been through their lineup and haven't found anything that really performs in this barrel. I'm seeing 1 moa ish at 100y. I've tried Lapua Center X...

    Anyone have a Compass Lake .22 upper?

    I ordered one some time ago and am waiting for it to arrive. Impatiently, I might add! Theoretically, it ought to be shipping any day. I know Hoser has one. Anyone else? If so, what ammo does yours like? I ordered the "kit", so I'll be assembling it and supplying the upper and handguard...

    Moving a load from Prime brass to LC (.223)

    I had a great load developed in Prime brass for a JP AR in .223. I can't recall the exact charge weight, but on the order of 24g of TAC with 77g SMK's. It was a consistent 1/2 minute performer when loaded on a Dillon 1050. I tried the same load in LC brass. It was actually more accurate by...
