What type of rail are you using? I have been using the original Weaver Mounts, and I think it is part of the problem. I am having trouble finding a picatinny style rail because I don't have much experience with the pre 64. It was manufactured in 1959.

I have a pre-64 M70. Its a shooter and not a collector. When mounting a USO SN3 1.8-10 power scope, I found that the bolt handle hits the scope. I also have a 1962 Rem 700 and mounted the same scope on it and it just barely clears the scope. In fact I have to take my thumb off the handle...

Re: Schmidt and Bender Reticles??? I have been using the P4F for over a year now and really like it. But UPS just dropped off my new one with the H2CMR ret. and I like it even better. Got it from Jay Wiggins aka the Opticspecialist from Sport Optics. Give him a call if you are looking to...

Re: H2CMR reticle question. I was using the 1 mil to 2 mil marks with the .5 mil hash in the center. I was wavering between .8 and .9 mils. I completely forgot about the 'gap' until you just mentioned it. I guess it is at .75 mils. It would of helped to remember that piece of information...

Suppose I want to range a target using the hash marks between 2 and 3 mils on the vertical line. These marks are .1 mil apart. Is the following assumption correct? 1st hash mark is at .1 mil. 2nd hash mark is at .2 mil. 3rd hash mark is at .3 mil. 4th hash mark is at .5 mil. 5th hash mark is...

Re: S&B PMII 5-25 LP Questions I am getting ready to order the S & B 5-25x56 PMII and I noticed one site had the MTC (More Tactile Clicks) as an option on this scope. I don't believe they will be released until Oct., but has anyone tried the MTC knobs at the Shot Show or somewhere else? I...

Re: Good Guy List I just recently had a trade with OutlawTen5. Chris is one of the good guys. No problems at all when dealing with him.

Re: Falcon Menace 5.5-25x50 FFP [pic heavy] I ordered the 5-25x50 with the ML16 reticle from Optics Warehouse on Dec. 17th. It should be here around the 28th or 29th of Dec. I called Seekins Precision and they said the medium rings should work fine with my M24/M40 barrel contour. With tax...

Re: best gunsmithing school Thanks US Handgunner and PFCSkoug for the information. Trinidad State and Montgomery sound like excellent schools. Just a couple of more general questions to anyone. How many guns do you need to purchase to complete a 2 year program? What type of guns do you...

Re: best gunsmithing school Just ignore my post if its considered to be highjacking, but I would like to know about the gunsmithing program at Murray State in Tishomingo, OK. If anyone has first hand experience, I would be interested in hearing about it. I might be able to go there in a year...
