Been wondering why they didn’t do this years ago..

I mean in an era where the Internet watchers are tracking everything, isn’t this just “giving” your enemies massive amounts of Intel…


But probably a big tinfoil hat moment coming. Maybe rightly so!

Note the part about the AMC general telling his troops that they should expect war with China by 2025.

That’s more concerning than tail numbers .

What part of the rifle do you level when mounting a Scope - does it matter?

I have spent the last decade getting my irons down and am fairly competent with them (I usually shoot 20 inch AR variants). I wanted to switch it up this year and get into magnified optics & bolt guns. With budget constraints the only thing I currently have to play with right now is an 18 inch Mossberg MVP in 5.56 and an older Ruger M77 Heavy Barrel. I want to work with the MVP first to learn about shooting with a magnified optic (fully understanding the limitations of the rifle). My first task is to mount a scope to the rifle, of which I had a 3-9x40 Leopold laying around. I read up on how to properly mount scopes and luckily, I already have the tools necessary. My setup is standard, I have the rifle vise setup in the garage, plumb line and light mounted to shine through the scope and the plumb line.

My first step was to level the rifle in the vise and I immediately ran into an issue that is not fully addressed in the many scope mounting tutorials. While trying to level the rifle I noticed that no two surfaces on the rifle appear parallel to each other. For example, the rifle has a factory 6 inch pic rail mounted to the receiver. However, I get almost a quarter bubble difference from the front of the rail to the back. Thinking I needed a better surface, I pull the stock and tried to level the barreled receiver using the various flats. However, I noticed that the flat machined parts of the receiver are not parallel to the pic rail and that got me wondering - exactly what part of the rifle should I plumb the scope to. Consider this:

I can get the scope as close to plumb to the earth as possible using an optical alignment method, but
- Is the scope plumb to the rings?
- Are the rings plumb to the mount/base?
- Is the mount/base plumb to the receiver?
- Is the receiver plumb to the stock?
- When holding the stock, is it plumb to the earth?

The constants here are the scope and the earth and that got me thinking. Does it really matter how plumb and true everything is if it all comes down to a fleshy human body holding the rifle and the eyeball determining its orientation to the earth? Assuming the scope is securely fixed to the rifle what is more important:

That the scope, base, receiver, stock are all plumb to one another?
-or-
The shooter orients the rifle the same way before every shot?

I would assume its the later and whole point of "plumbing it up" is to get the scope as true to the rifle as possible so the shooter has to compensate for orientation least before firing. Does that sound correct and all that being said - what is the best part of the rifle to level?

Sold my new 94, what to replace it with?

Looking for a new lever gun. A good guy at work really wanted a model 94 in 30-30 and couldn’t find one within a couple hour drive. I’d maybe put 10 rounds through mine and I’m constantly trying to consolidate calibers so it’s gone. It broke my heart though. So now I’m shopping. I think I want a .357 as that is a caliber that won’t ever get the ax. So what do I get? A couple Henrys have caught my eye but I’ve read mixed reviews. Lots of MIM I guess, not sure that that matters. Willing to shop around for a nice example of an older gun if that would be preferred. Thanks for any advice or recommendations.

Leofoto, new Official Rifle Ball Head of PRS

I have a question I have been wondering about are there any companies that rent out precision rifle scopes? I have found rentals for spotters, binos and thermal/ night vision and even a few firearms for “hunting”, but nothing in the precision rifle scope realm.

So am I alone in my interest of wanting to test out a scope before putting the money down for something like a ZCO ,March, Nightforce, or TT, or are there others like me?

No pressure sign with virgin brass, but significant pressure+slower MV in 2nd firing..reason?

Hi All,

Currently developing a load for 33xc in 30 inch bartlein for my AXMC. 299 Grain DTACs, H1000 110 grain, 0.001 neck tension, shoulder bumbed 0.002, 0.015 off lands.

When I fired virgin brass with same load (without body sizing) I did not get any pressure signs (except one odd ejector marks on some pieces) and velocity was ~3150. However in very next firing I am getting punctured primers, cratering, ejecter marks etc with same powder, neck tension and seating depth. The MV has also dropped to 3050. I bumped shoulder by 0.002 before reloading and the round chambered perfectly into my chamber without bolt handle freely falling.

I am trying to understand what might be going on here. If anyone has any hypothesis that they can share, will be great.

thanks

What does your shop charge for transfers?

I'm kicking around the idea of starting a small shop for transfers, some cans, and some other accessories. What does your shop charge for a transfer on guns? I know some places I've worked charged more for form 4 transfer fees. I'd like to get an idea of maybe what the avg is or what is too high in most people's minds. Don't give me your butt buddy discount price either, lol. I want to know the actual price.
