    Rifle Scopes It is driving me nuts

    Re: It is driving me nuts I agree, I thought it looked slightly off as well. I think the fastest way to rule out the rings is to flip the rings 180, as someone else suggested, and see if it shifts everything to the opposite side.

    700 sps tact aac-sd or savage 10 fp-sr

    Re: 700 sps tact aac-sd or savage 10 fp-sr Both very good choices. I think it really comes down to personal preference. I would personally go with the 700. I would highly recommend getting a new stock for it though. You may also consider the SPS Varmint that has a $75 rebate now also. It...

    Gunsmithing New stock: Inletting question

    I just received my new B&C medalist stock for my SPS Tactical. It looks GREAT. I did have to do a little sanding in the barrel channel to get good clearance. I have a couple additional questions. 1.) How much barrel clearance do you like to see around the barrel? Just enough to clear or more...

    Re: Viper PST 6.5 x 20 x 50 FFP or NOT Thanks for all the great info guys. I have decided to go with the FFP for sure. Now just need to figure out MIL or MOA. It is a never ending string of decisions when you are new to this stuff, but it is a lot of fun learning as I go. Thanks again...
