    Gunsmithing Scope level to a rifle

    Yes, it is almost like I wasn't shooting F-Class at all, isn't it? :unsure: Yes, that is what everyone thinks, until they see a match lost on a dead-calm day, and they were behind the shooter and could see him plainly canting his rifle.

    Gunsmithing Scope level to a rifle

    Whether you use a sloped base or not has no effect upon the issue. You are still going to sight in at some fairly close distance, like 100 or 200 yards. The problem comes when you then dial up to shoot at LR, like 1,000 yards, because of one very hard rule of physics -- if your reticle does...

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope for $2k

    Some of us are perfectly happy using MOA knobs and reticles, and NF gives conservative specs on these. The one I am shooting today has 67 MOA total elevation, while another has 57. Either should be enough to shoot out to 1,200 yards with the OP's 6.5 if you know how to take advantage of all...

    Correct. I would not do that either unless there were some good reason to, like threading a barrel.

    Gunsmithing Scope level to a rifle

    "Manicured ranges?" Maybe somewhere, but I sure wouldn't count on the ranges being level. What you do have is target frames that are probably pretty plumb, but you can't see the plumb(?) edge of the frame once you zoom in. But I guess a better question is, why wouldn't you put a level on a...

    That was the model they were making 10 years ago. Everything is Ti now.

    Gosh, well then I should receive my first check from them soon, right? Instead of me just sending them money? Since you spend so much time talking to their "salesmen" maybe you could mention that check request for me. :ROFLMAO:

    Or perhaps they see advantages to having take-apart baffles. No, I did not "make it up." From their website, talking about the history of the Varminter: "Accuracy enhancing due to no welding, all parts of The Titanium Varminter 2.0 are custom fit together to ensure no stress factors which are...

    Suppressors DIY Suppressor alignment gauges

    Uh, I hate to tell you but I can mount a suppressor and then simply look through it and the bore and tell you whether it is on straight or not. That's easy with a bolt gun, a little harder with an a/r. Also, I would be concerned about damaging my rifling if I put in a steel rod that fit tight...

    Gunsmithing Scope level to a rifle

    No, you did have something to look at -- the level concrete floor you were on. Try doing that on a hillside in the mountains. Plus, how much time did it take you to tighten down that bipod? I can glance at my bubble level in 1/10 of a second. You get your bipod locked down and then move it...

    Suppressors Thunder Beast lead times...

    Okay, you came to one conclusion. The guys that make take-aparts came to another -- that whatever the advantages of welded cans, they are not as accurate as a (good) take-apart, due to the welds in the baffles. You think strength is paramount, they think accuracy is. That will vary between...

    Gunsmithing Scope level to a rifle

    No one has a plumb-bob in their head. And that means everyone cants their rifle unless they have a reference (e. g., a rail that is known to be level, a target that is known to be plumb, or a scope level. Many very experienced shooters cant the hell out of their rifle and never have a clue...

    Gunsmithing Scope level to a rifle

    That is true, and might have something to do with why I said, "You do have a level on your scope, right?" And why I said you make sure that bubble is perfectly centered every time before you pull the trigger. The whole purpose of the level is to keep you from canting your rifle. But to even...

    Gunsmithing Scope level to a rifle

    Unless you want to have to deal with being off left or right when you dial up from a 100-yard zero to a 1,000-yard zero, the first thing you have to do is get your reticle pointed at the exact center of your bore. I eyeball it as best I can, then verify/correct with a "tall target test." With...

    I would pick up a used NF Competition 15-55, just be sure it has the reticle you want.

    Not to mention that I was responding to LG65CM's questions about take-apart suppressors, which had nothing to do with "lead times," and that several other people had responded to. :rolleyes:

    Suppressors Silencer for precision shooting

    Banish 223, but I am seeing pretty much the same effect with my 7mm bullets shot through my Banish 30.

    Suppressors Silencer for precision shooting

    Only about a thousand times more important. Another thing people should ask when evaluating which suppressor to get for "precision" shooting is whether the suppressor significantly improves group size or not. Some people are happy if the suppressor does not make the groups bigger . I want a...

    "Completely unnecessary" until someone gets a little carried away with their rate of fire and cooks the first baffle in their lightweight can. How easy and cheap is it to replace that baffle in a sealed can? Or you let your suppressor work loose and get a baffle strike? Ever hear of that? Of...
