If you're using Accubonds you've probably got a hunting rifle and to be honest 3/4 moa is pretty good for an off the rack rifle. If it's a heavy target rifle you wouldn't be using Accubonds. If you aren't getting the best accuracy and ES simultaneously I'd say it's time to try a different...

Well, for determining if your brass needs trimming you need to measure it, so a decent caliper is needed. A simple hand primer will get the job done no problem, you can always upgrade later if you feel the need. Cleaning brass on the cheap a simple vibratory tumbler will get you started, along...

A lot of aftermarket 700 clone makers make full round 700 style actions. Your reviewer diameter should be 1.35". I don't remember what 700 hole spacing is but it looks to be standard. Call any aftermarket mount/rail maker, they probably stock what you're looking for. If not, you can get a blank...

That bedding on the scope mount may be due to a problem I had with my 700P. When trying to install a one piece 20 minute mount, when the front screws were tightened there was a noticeable gap between the rear of the mount and the rear receiver bridge. Switching to a two piece 20 minute mount...

The Tesla incident is a typical industrial accident, failure to lock out/tag out the equipment to prevent inadvertent operation of automated equipment. Either lack of procedural controls or failure to follow procedure. Human failure.

Twenty years or so back I decided I would NEVER fly Southwest again. Picking up a connector in Chicago, sicker than a dog, flight canceled at the last minute in Chicago Midway, stuck in the airport over night AND they lost my luggage. All airlines suck, some suck more, some suck less, one sucks...

First off, you mention velocity inconsistencies. Primary cause is inconsistent powder weight. You need to get within 0.2 gr. or less charge to charge, preferably 0.1 gr. Trying to get under that doesn't get you much more. Brass, well that can help too, been a proponent of Lapua brass for years...

The one rifle I would never part with is a pre 1939 model 70 in 30-06. Original with usage wear on the finish and blueing and still a shooter. It's done exactly what it's supposed to do for nearly a century and three generations of family so far. There is a post 1939 model 70 in .270, not quite...

If you're speaking of Dick Davis, unfortunately Dick passed way in 2016. I knew him personally and you couldn't meet a nicer or more knowledgable guy. Interesting sense of humor too.

I few years back just for fun I took my rabbit gun out for hogs with a 400 gr Barnes backed by 98 gr of 4350. Only got two hogs because more wouldn't line up in a nice row, still not bad for one shot. Gotta love a Rigby.

I remember Greg from those days on the early Shooters forum, and his experiences with the "tomato stake" Savages. I think I was still on a dial up modem. Then there were tales of the the epic trip out to Raton in a beat up Suburban to irritate the gatekeepers of the high power halls. Greg was...

Price has sure gone up from the last 1,000 I bought.

Last Rem I bought was a 700P years back. Had to put two piece scope mounts on it and lap the hell out of them because the receiver mounting holes were so off line couldn't mount a one piece. The trigger had to be replaced. Ridiculous amount of freebore. The chamber could be better. That said I...

I've purchased barrels from pretty much every quality maker and properly smithed (I've had a couple of jobs turn out less than well and never used those smiths again) every one has been a shooter. What has set the makers apart to me is post sale customer service. Bartlett is in the top echelon...

I run mine off of a Panamax surge suppressor/filter to prevent interference. They are sensitive to poor AC quality. As the previous poster stated using a battery power supply will work too. A friend uses an aftermarket instrument regulated linear DC power supply which is pretty much an overkill...
