    Hart Rifles?

    Re: Hart Rifles? Rem 700 in M40 stock, 308, done by Hart a number of years back. The barrel is about at the end of its life but the gun still drives tacks. The smith work is flawless.

    AI or custom build

    Re: AI or custom build See if anyone in your area has an AIAW you can try. Its a very unique and functional shooting platform. You also have access to some of the best rifle builders in the world. They can cook up a rifle anyway you like it, action, barrel, stock, caliber, etc. I have...

    AIAW and S & B Scope question

    Re: AIAW and S & B Scope question At the range yesterday. It was so windy the target stands were bouncing up and down a bit in the butts (not enough counterweight). Shooting at 200m yesterday and had .8mil of left wind dialed just to keep on target. Great day though. A few pics from...

    AIAW and S & B Scope question

    Re: AIAW and S & B Scope question Guess I better drag my camera to the range tomorrow. So, since I have the attention of a few AIAW owners, the trigger is great but a touch heavier than I'm use to. How does one adjust and what is the lowest weight AI recommends tunning to? Thanks

    AIAW and S & B Scope question

    Re: AIAW and S & B Scope question Can someone confirm, I think with the locking turret cap removed, the 5-25 has 300 total clicks (thus 30 mil total travel). This would be just over 100 moa. Mine turns 25 mil with locking double turn cap in place thus about 84 moa.

    AIAW and S & B Scope question

    Re: AIAW and S & B Scope question Thanks guys. I'll give it a run this weekend and see what happens. I have the scope laying here so I would like to use it. If it doesn't work I guess I'll change the base, scope or both.

    AIAW and S & B Scope question

    Re: AIAW and S & B Scope question The rifle is a 308. I already had the scope laying around from a gun I sold so I want to use it. The 45 MOA base has to be way overkill but I have to be able to zero the gun @100M. As it appears I may have trouble getting shallower base ASAP, I'm asking...
