Hi, I've searched the forum and internet for this and can find any info. Can anyone tell me the torques for the Sako TRG 3 ring mount and rings? There are three different size screws and I need all 3 torques. TIA

Re: SWFA SS 3-9 x 42 questions Thanks for the replies. That's what I was hoping to hear. @Pete Sake - what don't you like about the flip up covers. I've never used them, but they look pretty handy.

I'm looking for a less expensive stop-gap until my group buy scope arrives. I like the looks of the SWFA ss 3-9 x 42. It has all the features I need and I know SS is highly regarded here. The 3-9 is 40% the cost of the 5-20. The only features it seems to be missing are illumination and...

Re: new rifle...new scope Savages are different. They aren't dependant upon the shoulder for headspacing. You get the headspace gauges, screw the barrel in the correct amount and then lock a jam nut against the receiver. (Then double check your headspace.) It's real simple and you can...

Re: Bizarre zeroing problem- can you help? I've thought about this some more, and my above explanation is incorrect. For it to be correct, the scope would have to be .5" right of the bore. The way I explained above, the bullet would cross the LOS at the muzzle and not at 100yd. Now I'm...

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy Here's a note on my first personal contact with SWFA. At 9:41 last night I emailed them to add a set of rings to my order. At 9:44 Skylar emailed me back saying he would do it when he got in to the office this morning. At 7:55 this morning he...

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy And to think, a little over a year ago I started reading this site in my search for a "high dollar" scope. I was willing to spend up to $400. Now I'm on the verge of getting a $1500 dollar scope for the "low" price of $1000. You guys are...

Re: Viper PST's still on for mid June? I'm not sure where people are getting the "mid June" info. I've been following this pretty closely and to my knowledge, the only date Vortex has given is "in June". Anyone who is familiar with product releases understands that that means June 30 at...

Re: Silver Soldering Barrel Nut? I'd go with Top Cat's idea. Also, by soldering the nut to the barrel, aren't you making it the same as a conventional setup only more complicated and fragile? The nut would act just the same as a shoulder - until it broke loose.

Re: Data for 6,5 x 55 / 142 smk / 1 in 8 Border Barrel If you don't mind my asking, where did you see pressure signs? Don't worry, I'm not going to go out and try that load without working up, but I'd like to know where other people are seeing pressure with this cartridge so I know when I'm...

Re: Data for 6,5 x 55 / 142 smk / 1 in 8 Border Barrel I don't have any answers for you, but I am also looking for loads for the 6.5x55. I have some H380 on the shelf and I am looking for actual (not pre-1896) loads for it. I hope you don't mind my piggy backing on your thread.
