    Questions about zero consistency.

    I would ask your round count... A low count may suggest that your rifle settled... My GAP built spr required .5 moa adjustment at about round 60(guessing w/out checking log)...

    Nosler's new 6.5 mm cartridge

    In the early 90's,on a caribou hunt in Quebec... One of the clients in camp,took a south-end shot at a north-bound black bear with a .264 WM... Blood was found,the bear never was... Conclusion for him and his buddies...??? 6.5 bullets are not enough for bear... I asked which bullet he was using...

    win. m.70 rebarrel question

    If you don't reload,I'd keep it 30-06... If you do, first bet would be 6.5x55 and second would be 25-06AI...

    Manners T2/EH1 grip width

    EH-1...2.015" I'd like a bit more texture,but I think they're trying to keep the weight down... But the profile/Palm swell feels just right to me...

    Custom Do it all gun?

    Switch barrels look viable for a lot of people...cool! But I find that if I change calibers,it is because I changed the purpose of the rifle,and in turn will more than likely change the stock and optics as well... As a general purpose rifle,as mentioned earlier,a 20" 308, in at about 10 or 12...

    Gunsmithing Removing high gloss look from 1980's era factory R700

    I've done a few with steel wool as mentioned...came out quite nice,a very soft satin look... Maybe not the same as a tung oil finish,but a lot easier and you can always strip it if you aren't happy...only cost you an hour or so and some steel wool...

    Aervoe spray paint

    OK,coincidence maybe...DSG just put some colors back in stock... Non the less,having to pay shipping from 2 or 3 sources does not make me want to break out the smiley face T-shirt...lol

    Aervoe spray paint

    It seems no one has a good selection in stock... Am a missing a good source somewhere...?

    Why are tube guns/chassis not more popular?

    Weight first I think,second cost... The cost can be acceptable on some,especially with a DBM.... The weight can be addressed at a rise in cost... I realize that to some,weight is a non issue... But to some it is... Aesthetics can be considered or dismissed,but there are some good looking chassis...

    Gunsmithing Barrel and Action cleaning

    All this cleaning for accuracy, is sure interesting... We all mostly just clean um so as to keep the handle moving back and forth ... Daddy says changing the oil in a gun when it's still working is a lot like changing the air in a tire when the old air was working just fine... I do rub some oil...

    help find a sniper rifle

    backyardsniper...watch your "6" Looks like code talk to me... I think he just asked you if your arm is lite and good and long... Then called you "range shooter" Hard to tell,can't find y glasses...

    precision rifle

    Others will disagree... But if I were him,I would try and find a 700 pss in 300wm as mentioned above... The stock is not all that bad and it may well shoot right out of the box...needing nothing more than a trigger... If it did not shoot,he could rebarrel in the same chambering or change to the...

    precision rifle

    Well done... Now don your helmet, tighten your harness...and keep your hands and feet in board at all times... It might still be a bit bumpy... Again,the 338 is serious player at long range... But something like a 7mm RM will as well,and be a lot cheaper to feed...
