The Last IOR scope I had was purchased about 5-6 yrs ago, it was a 6-24x 35mm tube model that had the old type turrets that had 9 MOA per rev and were a pain to zero out after sight in. It also had rings that had to be torqued to only 12 in/lbs or so, otherwise the paralax knob became hard to...

Re: Super Sniper observations The optics must be alot better then their older SS scopes. I have one from about 4 yrs ago and it is below my 6-24 4200 tact. and way below my mk4 of same time period. Are the knobs better? I did all the tricks with the old ones like replace the o-ring with...

Re: AR-10 First shot high??? I have had this problem with precision AR-15s to some degree over the years. Usually the first rd flier adds about 1/4-1/2" to the groups size. Just the other day, I think on AR15, someone was asking about accurizing a M1A. Most over there said they are nice...

Re: How to tune a handload for good chrono numbers? I shoot BL-C2 under 50 vmax in my 20 varmint AR with those primers and cases. Those loads have 6-7 fps SDs. I bought 16 lbs of varget last year when it was hard to come by and I had two 308 that loved it. Now both of those 308 are wearing...

I have a recce-style AR that I built and it really prints good on paper so far at 100yds, I have not had the time or weather to shoot at farther ranges yet. My load is a 69 smk pushed by 25.5 grn varget in a win case and lit by a CCI br-4 primer. This load is nice on paper- so far 1/2-3/4"...

I need a light weight optic for a recce build. 3-12 or 4-14 variable, 1" or 30mm with shorter length(13") and lightest weight(<20oz.) being important, and Mil-dot for holdovers. I have several 13-15 lb rifles and they are great but I built this one for light weight coyote calling rifle. I...

Re: what was wrong with savages? I've got both and like both of the savage and rem. The bolt is a little looser on the savage when it is open compared to a rem, but just a little. My comparision is between 3 savages and a 700 5R. The remington would have just as much slop in the bolt if it...

Re: Who sells the coolest Savage Furniture? I have a PDC Custom stock on a 243 fast twist. I would say this would be real similar to AICS minus the skins. All aluminum, fully adjustable, uses AR grips (comes with a PSG-1 style), takes AI mags, and has sling swivels on the side. Plus custom...

Re: Most accurate powders for the 22-250 Try 39 grns of H380 under a 50 grn Vmax in win cases and cci br2 primer. This load has always shot great in various 22-250 that I have owned over the years. It also works pretty good with 55 grn sierra blitz kings. Last year a buddy got a savage...

Re: Indiana gunsmith Geoff Corn. Have not had any work done by him but he was recommended to me, by a good friend that had him build his duty rifle(EPD swat) and I have a few buddies that have had brakes and barrel work done by him and I am impressed. Plus he is about an hour from me, the...

Re: MISSING RIFLES That sucks, I know how it feels though. I had a OD framed G19 stole out of my mustang. I remember posting about it on AR15.com a couple years ago and the response I got was that it was my fault for having the pistol in a small case in the rear floorboard (practically...

Re: 168 BTHP @2670 fps to 1000 yards? I don't usually shoot much past 750 with my 308s, but one day I was bored and tried it. 168smk at 2690 out of a rem 5R lands HP first regularly at 950 yds in the following conditions. Altitude is 485 ft and the temp was in the mid 60's, humidity was in...

Re: Tranquilizer rifles for livestock Finally I question at SH that I am qualified to answer. Capchur tranq guns, thay can be ordered from Valley Vet supply online. The drug you need to use would be rompum, not for sure on the spelling, depending on the size of the animal, anywhere from...
