    Rifle Scopes Very little elevation adjustment after zeroing

    "Cant" and "can't" (can not) are not the same. Cant is simply another way of saying "tilt"or "slant". The plastic inserts provide tilt in whichever direction is needed to set your scope properly. If your bases do not have a built-in angle or cant, they are level. The plastic inserts make it...

    Accuracy Limit of the 7.62X39 Cartridge

    Mr. Kokalis' explanation is plausible. It's also possible that through their spies the Soviets were aware of the 8x33mm cartridge well before it's introduction to the battlefield. Considering the secrecy that the Soviets exercised WRT weapons development, we may never know the full story behind...

    Recommendations for 223 bolt rifle

    If you can be satisfied with a 1:12 twist, IMO there is no better value on the market at the moment than the Sabatti Rover Tactical for $900. Top quality, built like a tank, accurate and the trigger can be adjusted to well under a pound. I set mine to 12 oz. and it will go lower. The Sabatti...

    Accuracy Limit of the 7.62X39 Cartridge

    As most likely know already, the 7.62x39 was developed from the 8x33 Kurtz round fielded by the Germans against the Russians in WW2. The Germans realized that most combat took place within 300 meters so cartridges effective beyond that distance were a waste of materials. The Russians quickly...

    Sabatti St-17 (prototype) in 6.5 creedmoor with PRIME Ammo

    Looks like a WINNER!! I have the old model Sabatti Rover Tactical rifle in .308 Winchester. I took it from the box, cleaned the bore and installed a 36X Sightron scope. A few test groups later and I had my load.... under 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards. Best factory rifle I've ever owned. I'd love...

    260 rem VS 6.5 creed

    What brand .308 brass were you using? My Winchester brass has a neck thickness of .013" while other brands go as much as .016". When I bought new brass with .016" neck thickness, I ran a .310" button through them and then turned the necks to .013" to match the Winchester cases. I also measured...

    Loads for Savage 10 FCP-K .308

    Last week I bought a Savage 10 FCP-K rifle in .308. It's one of the LE series of Savage rifles with 24" heavy barrel, 1:10 twist, 10 round mag, muzzle brake, Accu-Trigger and Accu-Stock. My initial tests shows that it will stay under 1 MOA with 140, 155 & 168 grain bullets. The 140's & 155's...
