Exporting a rifle stock out of America
It's not so much about saving money as getting the product I want instead of buying what I can get. How many here would want to shoot with a GRS laminated stock or an MDT? I could get an AI chassis, but I'm not a fan of their ergonomics. Currently I might be able to get a Mcmillan from...- Charlie Bravo

Exporting a rifle stock out of America
Anyone know if the laws apply to accessories such as a adjustable but stock like the tubb 4 way? If you could get a retailer with an export license to do the paperwork to get a stock out of the USA, would it be ok to bring it back to Europe in checked luggage? TSA allows stocks in checked...- Charlie Bravo

TSA notice given to me about a Civil Penalty
Ok, thanks[emoji4] I guess I'll box some things up and bring the rest in my luggage. I guess the retailer decides what is milspec and what isn't? As far as stocks go, it looks possible, but not for a LRA bipod[emoji50] It's a great way to kill of exports[emoji53] If you come here, be sure...- Charlie Bravo

TSA notice given to me about a Civil Penalty
Might be OT, but I'm going on my honeymoon in Florida in May, and I want to bring back some stuff to Europe when I go back. I'd like to bring back a bipod, a stock and maybe other items like it. As far as I understand the law texts, this should be legal in checked luggage? I've written and...- Charlie Bravo

338 Norma Mag Load Data
I would love that, but all we have at those ranges are falling targets. I can do it at 300m with Electronic reading, but thats about it. Best groups/stats were at 90,3, 90, 5 and 90, 7. Best overall was 90,7.- Charlie Bravo

338 Norma Mag Load Data
Thank you and yes, it's at 100m. The recoil is somewhat harder than 308win, so I need to learn how to load the bipod a bit better than what I'm doing right now:o- Charlie Bravo

338 Norma Mag Load Data
It should be somewhere between 88, 6 and 90, 3, depending on whether I adjust only BA or BA and Z0. I'll look into it and post something, when I get the right load.- Charlie Bravo

338 Norma Mag Load Data
Waveslayer: You need to check out OBT and compare your barrel length with the times in MS for barrel travel time that they have. Then you try to find a load, that matches the barrel time that OBT has as a node for your barrel. You just need to have everything filled out correctly, as case...- Charlie Bravo
