    Best method or tips to configure an adjustable chassis to fit you??

    Thanks to everyone who commented on my question. Your advice, as always, is much appreciated. I've been messing around with some of the adjustments and your logic about setting LOP first really makes sense now. I've noticed that once I get that just about right the other variables start to...

    Best method or tips to configure an adjustable chassis to fit you??

    OK, I confess my newbie status and humbly ask for some guidance... I just got my first (custom) build back from the 'smith and now I'm trying to mount the scope and adjust the chassis to fit me. I've read through several of the scope leveling threads and I think I'm good on how to ensure the...

    Rifle Scopes My inexpensive way of leveling scopes when mounted. (with pics)

    Thanks to the OP and all of the others who have posted helpful tips. I'm just about to mount my first scope (to my first rifle) and this thread has been invaluable. Not to thread jack, but on a related topic I'm looking for some hints or tips about how to find your ideal (prone) shooting...

    New AI PSR AICS????

    Aimsmall55 Just curious. When you changed barrels, did you have to re-zero? Thanks. And yes, you're very lucky to have played with the real thing!

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender Marksman Sunshade

    hamstur Hmm...interesting. I'd be more tempted to jump on that if I hadn't already just bought Butler Creeks. How do those Tenebraex Tough caps hold up? I've heard mixed reviews, but to be honest I've never seen them in person.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender Marksman Sunshade

    Well, that's a huge bummer. If the USO model isn't available anymore for an S&B PMII w/ 56mm objective, does anyone have any recommendations for an alternate? Or a USO for sale? (I had to ask.)

    Interesting. No mention of the new color or chassis on the AI site. Hmmm...

    Aries64 Do you have a part number for that ARD from USO that will fit an S&B PMII? I'm looking on their website, but it's a little confusing as to which one will work. Thanks.

    Accuracy International Visit!

    Awesome write up and pictures. You are VERY, VERY lucky to have had the chance to do that. By any chance did you ask for (or did AI provide) information about the release of the PSR chassis? I love it, but $20k for a (real) PSR just ain't gonna happen.

    Rifle Scopes Correct BC flip up size for a S&B PMii 5-25x???

    19Scout77 Yes, I'm sure MH know what they're talking about. But as I said, the BC thread here on SH says it should be something different. I'm sure you're not saying the SH members don't know what they are talking about, right?

    Have we reached the point of diminishing returns for chassis systems ?

    I had this exact dilemma a few weeks ago when I was trying to decide what chassis system to go with. I don't like the look of the overly skeletonized or minimalist stocks of some systems (XLR, AWT above, etc.). I want a rifle with some "beef" to it and i'm willing to lug around a few pounds...

    Rifle Scopes Correct BC flip up size for a S&B PMii 5-25x???

    Can someone confirm the correct BC flip-up objective size for a S&B PMii 5-25x? The S&B documentation says the objective is 62mm. I measured mine and came up with the same value. The sticky BC thread says it should be a #47 at 62.5mm but when I tried to order one from milehighshooting.com they...

    Rifle Scopes Which 34MM Mount?

    +1 on Spuhr. At first I was very dubious of how they could really be worth 2-3x the $$ of other decent mounts. Then I watched the videos on their site explaining the design philosophy and how they are built. I won't rehash what others have already touted on this thread, but after watching the...
