    Shipping robust?: Softbag vs foam in a Nanuk 995 or Pelican 1750

    I had a feeling the soft bag would be OK. I know there are some people on this forum that travel with and ship their rifles a lot, like 100 times a year. I am curious what they have seen in regards to this and what they think.

    Shipping robust?: Softbag vs foam in a Nanuk 995 or Pelican 1750

    How do you see the robustness of transporting a rifle in a softbag inside a Pelican 1750 versus being put into custom cut foam? I have to ship a rifle via FedEx and I am concerned if a softbag would provide sufficient protection to the rifle and optic. Obviously the custom cut foam would be...

    Locks for Pelican 1750 or Nanak 995 to prevent the TSA knuckle or finger in the case?

    I appreciate the advice from people with clearly tremendous travel experience. The only point I did like about putting a padlock on it is from the point of view DeviantOllam brought up. He says he flies up to 100 times a year with a firearms and says the use of the lock is to prevent/detect...

    Locks for Pelican 1750 or Nanak 995 to prevent the TSA knuckle or finger in the case?

    I like how the Nanuk 995 is offered with TSA locks built into it. It seems some people really insist on using non-TSA locks, especially the security researcher I mentioned in my original post. It seems TSA locks get accepted though. By the way, what is the biggest padlock shackle diameter...

    Locks for Pelican 1750 or Nanak 995 to prevent the TSA knuckle or finger in the case?

    Hi, I look to travel with a rifle case and it is the first time on an airline. I am buying either a Pelican 1750 or a Nanak 995 and I would appreciate a recommendation for non-TSA locks to go in the padlock holes that will ensure success when traveling in the airlines. The key things is that...

    ATI and Tangent Theta Sales Guy Interview (and talk on glass sources)

    I watched this interview with the Sales guy from Tangent Theta and I thought it was very interesting and nice for them to do. There was a discussion about glass and the sources for the glass that starts at 29:26 in the video. It seemed to get to the point that when a scope manufacturer...

    Any images through Steiner M7XI at maximum magnification to help assess?

    Hi, I have read quite a bit about the different scope and I have seen the comparisons and on a technical spec level the Steiner M7XI 2.9-18 or the 4-28 look very good. The only negative is that I read about image quality and IQ drop off and CA. It is hard to judge those statements on image...

    Recommend a scope for a M1A rifle build

    Nice picture. I certainly assume the statements about these scopes nocking themselves apart is not really any issue.

    Recommend a scope for a M1A rifle build

    I read the review by Glassaholic about the Leupold Mark 5HD and it was very positive. It looks like a good scope. Another option that came up was a Burris XTRIII illuminated which I was told was very good and eve cheaper than the Leupold. The other contender seems to be the Nightforce 4-16x42...

    Recommend a scope for a M1A rifle build

    I had never heard about the M14 eating scopes. I had heard about the FN SCAR being a scope eating monster. The FN SCAR in 7.62 replaced the M14 on some places and having the scope eating reputation show up after the M14 says a lot. Regarding “reading in the wrong places” about Leupold I...

    Recommend a scope for a M1A rifle build

    I agree. Leupold seems to get love on the M14 forum.

    Recommend a scope for a M1A rifle build

    I looked at that scope, but when I read on this sight I saw many negatives regarding durability on Leupold scopes. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Recommend a scope for a M1A rifle build

    I am looking for a recommendation for a scope sub $2500 for a M1A/M14 build that is a heavy barrel in a McMillan M3A. This is a “precision M1A” but not a precision rifle in the sense commonly used unless I get luck with the tolerance stackups. I am looking for something European, US, or...

    Very little windage adjustment (6MIL) in Steiner M7Xi and a lot in Nightforce (24MIL)

    Thanks.

    Very little windage adjustment (6MIL) in Steiner M7Xi and a lot in Nightforce (24MIL)

    I am new to optics so I hope you can help. When I look at the ads for the Steiner M7xi 2.9-18 and the Nightforce 4-20 ATACR there are very different specs for windage adjustment. With the Steiner it says plus or minus 6 mils of windage adjustment for a total of 12 mils and when I look at the...

    Best factory ammo for 20” 308 for long range training class up to 1300yd?

    To your question, it is a FN A5m XP 20” 1:10 twist rifle with the factory barrel and the original McMillan A5 stock with a Steiner 3-15 scope in a Spuhr mount. I am quite unclear why you ask about the stock, optic, and the optic mount when it comes to the ammo selection? Can you clarify the...

    Best factory ammo for 20” 308 for long range training class up to 1300yd?

    Thanks. I am sure I will learn a lot in the class. I also appreciate the great opportunity for learning that this forum offers. Out of curiosity I am still wondering if lowlight made a typo or what that hot factory load was that did 2700+ with 170gr out of 18” barrel.

    Best factory ammo for 20” 308 for long range training class up to 1300yd?

    Is there any appreciable difference between the velocity of a Federal Berger with the 185 Juggernaut versus a 308 cartridge with the same bullet from someone like Applied Ballistics or McCourt Munitions? Is the difference only on the COAL (so distance to the rifling lands and therefore accuracy...

    Best factory ammo for 20” 308 for long range training class up to 1300yd?

    I agree that I will do that. I will need to borrow a chronograph to determine muzzle velocity as well based on the other suggestions.
