    Data book options (print and digital)

    I'm a programmer and have been toying with the idea of writing a databook app but didn't know what kind of market there would be. Personally I'm a pencil and paper kind of guy when it comes to databooks but I also think it would be cool to be able to store info in your phone/tablet kinda like a...

    Remington 700 Recall on X-Mark Pro Triggers

    I had no problem ordering a 517 long sear version for my sps varmint from timney's actual website. Just a heads up in case people are finding them on back order. Adam

    Timney 510 of 517

    So I think I've decided to upgrade my stock Rem 700 trigger to a Timney instead of dealing with the recall. Thing is, there's a good chance I probably wont get to touch one before buying it. What seems to be everyone's preference between the 510 (curved) and 517 (straight) triggers? I've only...

    Scope ring height for Remington 5R

    The tube diameter on that is 34mm(I think)....so you'll need 34mm rings. Usually it seems that the low rings work well on remingtons 700's with enough clearance to get scope caps on it. Here's a formula to make sure everything'll fit well...

    Waterproof MOLLE Backpack

    5.11 Tactical RUSH backpacks have a water-repellant coating on them and are pretty much fully covered in MOLLE. I have 2....a black one for every day, to and from work stuff and a flat dark earth one I pack all of my shooting stuff in for when I'm hunting paper in a field or woods. They are...

    wider groupings with higher magnification @100???

    Definitely not a pro here, but what I've heard a handful of times is to wiggle your head side to side and/or up and down while looking through the scope...if the crosshairs jump around, it is set wrong... Adam

    Strap-on cheekpieces, which ones are best for use on nonadjustable stocks

    I just got a black one from Triad on Friday...one with the ammo rings on the outside. It's awesome. It got my check weld close with the velcro strips that come with it. I wanted it to go a hair more so I just picked up some velcro from walmart and stuck 2 or 3 more pieces on there and it fits...

    Reloading supply shortage

    Every time I've checked midway for the last month-month and a half or so, the 175 SMK has been in stock. I ended up not ordering from them because I randomly saw some 175's at dicks one day and bought a 100 rd box. They are also on sale for $4 off atm...

    Scope On or Scope Off??

    Interesting....when my dad taught me to shoot as a younger kid, I always knew to transport with the scope towards the handle of the case. For the last year though I've transported my 700 in the terrible case it came in with the scope towards the bottom. I never thought about it until now but...

    Currently can't find Varget or RL15...best 308 powder for Illinois 120 degree temp changes

    New reloader here. I'm just finishing up setting up my reloading bench. I just finally picked up some 175 SMK HPBT and some Remington 9 1/2 primers at Scheels. I've read a crap ton and was wanting to get some Varget or Reloader 15 for my powder. However, I'm having a really hard time finding...

    70 MOA adjustment enough?

    I'm probably not the best person to answer this, so take it with a grain of salt and listen to the pros when they start to chime in over me...but if you are saying that you have a scope with 70 MOA of total internal travel, that would mean (in a perfect world) the scope would have 35 MOA of up...

    Rifle Scopes deer/target best glass under $500?

    I just went through something similar and even though I really want a Vortex PST, I couldn't afford it(just picked up a sweet pile of engagement ring/wedding bands today kind of 'can't afford it' hahaha)....my top three were vortex viper pa 6.5-20, millett LRS 6-25 and falcon menace 5.5-25...

    Rifle Scopes shooting with glasses

    These guys seem to have the glasses side of it covered....but for me, I wear contacts almost all of the time (besides when I'm in bed watching tv or being lazy and not putting my contacts in). For scope use, I've never once noticed a problem or anything weird with looking through one...

    Rifle Scopes Zero question???

    Exactly...if your back is 1/4" higher, you're well within the correctly canted base....you have another issue...I'd take your scopes and rings apart and remount them and retorque them just to be sure and then if its still shooting THAT high at 100 yards, I'd call vortex

    Rifle Scopes Zero question???

    If the back is higher you're fine on the base Edit: all bases differ on heights

    Rifle Scopes Zero question???

    If you dont have a 20 moa base that's the way to go ESPECIALLY 1 piece, but regardless of minutes or mils (from my last post), you are still using way to much for your up for zeroing at 100...and you said your torquing everything at 65? That's plenty excessive for scope rings and can cause...

    Rifle Scopes Zero question???

    I don't know if buying a better canted base is the correct idea yet...something doesn't seem right. if you have 65 minutes of total travel, that'd be ~32 minutes up and 32 down, assuming the reticule was centered from the factory...add a 20 base and itll get you ~52 (or there abouts) of up...
