That’s actually a good thing to consider. I checked the specs of the 34 and it’s essentially the same standing height as my Leo 324. It would add maybe 1/2 pound to my set up, but that should be a considerable increase in stability. The RRS 34 or 33 has a much higher weight rating. Could be the...

I’m relatively new to tripod shooting. I compete in local matches and hunt, but just being honest that it’s only been a year since getting my first “good” shooting tripod set-up. I didn’t F up and got a RRS anvil 30 head. No complaints there. Where I might have F-d is going with a Leofoto...

I had an AGC but switched binos this year and had to get a larger chest pack. I went with the fully enclosed marsupial gear, with rangefinder pouch and down under pouch. I’d rank the Marsupial system as far better than the AGC. I have the magnetic version, and my only issue is with the down...

I normally run Redding FL bushing dies when sizing brass, but recently built a 300 wsm and a buddy had an RCBS FL die he didn’t need and gave it to me. I pulled the expander ball and decapping pin from it and just bump the shoulder 0.002”, then finish with an expander mandrel for proper neck...

I have the MK machining mount. No complaints at all, except when I mount it directly to the Arca rail on my XLR chassis it moves forward a tad with each shot. After three shots it falls off. I now mount it to a pic rail and problem solved. Not sure why but even if I tightened it down a bunch to...

The bayonets are not the same. I have a sporter and had to dremmel a chunk off to allow it to work with a can. If you don’t have a can, either one will work for your set up. If you use a can the v3 bayonet works for that as is, no mods necessary. My sporter bayonet is permanently modified to...

Almost all of the Aadamount stuff is always backordered. He makes them as the orders come in. Order one and you shall receive.

Head over to the Aadmount website and buy the parallax gripper for the SWFA 5-20. It’s listed as backordered, but just buy it and he makes them as orders come in. I had one on my old 5-20 and it was well worth it for the notoriously stiff parallax knob.

I really liked my SWFA 5-20. I replaced it with the latest DMR3, and the bushy is a little better, but for $800 the SWFA is a solid buy. There are times I would prefer the simple mil dot reticle, but other times I’m happy with the G4P reticle. The G4 is fairly thin and can get tough to see...

Not a super important question, but I have a hard sided rifle case with foam padding in it like just about all hard sided cases. I’m going to make the cuts in the foam for my rifle, can, mags, etc, and my thinking is to cut the rifle portion so the scope sits up when using the middle handle. I...

Maybe there’s a link with savage .338 lapua owners. I hate to say that as I do own a savage action that I went full retard on, and it’s a phenomenal custom rifle, but so dumb considering I saved $600 over just buying a custom action and going to town. That was a long time ago. Lots have changed...

No, I’m in Grant County, Oregon. Small rural area between Bend and Boise.

Local guy a few years ago did something similar with a savage rifle in .338 Lapua. Barrel was split 4 ways, most of the receiver blew up and he almost lost an eye. His hand needed more than a few stitches. I always knew he was a dumb fuck, so when the cause turned out to be the fact he...

I have a 4.5-18 non-illuminated on one of my main hunting rifles. I like it a lot, and the reticle is great for a dedicated hunting rifle. That being said, if you can find one for around $700 for the non-ill, I’d say that’s fair and worth it. I think I paid $650 for mine brand new on a close...

I haven’t seen a box of large rifle magnum primers in years. I’m down to ration time with my cci 250 lrm.
