    Can’t zero my new scope. Can it be broken or am I missing something ?

    @Zmu23 Do the turrets move up and down/in and out as you adjust them? Im not familiar with the Arken line. On scopes with turret caps that do not move up and down as they are rotated, you need to loosen the turret caps and set them so they can be rotated further in the direction you need them...

    Adjustable buttplate for McMillan?

    Best to send your stock into McMillan for modification. It's not an easy thing to modify. The extra weight also helps to balance heavy barrels. That was one of the reasons I got it.

    Adjustable buttplate for McMillan?

    I've got the McMillan 3 way adj butt plate on my A6. It works well, but I don't recommend it for short people. I'm 5' 10" and the butt plate is adjusted 1/2" out from its shortest setting.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner M7Xi 4-28x56

    Glad you bought both. How does the glass on the razor compare to the Steiner up to 18x?

    Very little windage adjustment (6MIL) in Steiner M7Xi and a lot in Nightforce (24MIL)

    I've had my Steiner on a couple rifles and have never had less than the plus or minus six mils between stops after zeroing. It's nothing to worry about.

    Suggestions on a smith to true an action

    It might not make enough difference for your average tactical shooter to be able to tell. But like @AccuSol-ERN said, a smith won't want to risk his repution by putting a barrel on a messed up action. I'd skip the Remington altogether. Save up for a custom action and be happy.

    Suggestions on a smith to true an action

    Every smith I've talked to has said they won't rebarrel a 700 unless they true the action as well.

    Suggestions on a smith to true an action

    Alex Wheeler is the best I've used. I sent him a 700 and I haven't found a slicker feeling action since.

    Confused on how to have two zeroes for two different loads.

    Rezero your scope 2 - 2 1/4 MOA for the lighter loads. Try and get a scope without BDC that has reticle and turrets that use the same adjustment type. mil/mil, or MOA/MOA. It will make your life a lot easier.

    Cadex Strike Pro chassis is finally here...

    The Bix and Andy Tacsport Pro has the trigger shoe positioned pretty far back if that helps.

    Colt bolt action rifle

    I'd go with a Kelbly black bear tactical. Flat bottom, but with a 90 degree throw.

    On Barrel Cleaning with Erik Cortina - ROFLMAO!

    That's a shame, I was just starting to like FuhQ.

    On Barrel Cleaning with Erik Cortina - ROFLMAO!

    What's wrong with Alex Wheeler? He did some amazing things with my 700. I've never heard him speak other than over the phone and on the videos on his site.
