    Drafter, Historic is $125/year for 35k of coverage (which is more than I need, but thats the lowest they go). Collectible is $212/year for 35k of coverage (just for an apples to apples comparison). State farm is whom I currently have is over $400/year with much less coverage. My...

    Rifle Scopes Barrett Model 99 - scope eye relief

    I have an M99 with a nxs 5-22 on it and I have never had a problem. I always make sure that new shooters are as far back from the scope as possible before they shoot. No one has had an issue yet. I would agree that 2.9" sounds a little tight. But without a slow motion camera I cant say if...

    I am wondering if anyone who has a historic firearms insurance ( The Historic Firearms, Collectibles and Sporting Arms program at Eastern Insurance ) have made any claims under your policy? I am looking at replacing an existing homeowners insurance rider and it looks like this will be about...

    trg 42 questions

    Re: trg 42 questions Barrel is threaded from the factory. No need to bed the action. Nothing wrong with the factory bolt handle either. Massoud pretty much nailed it. Put some optics on it, adjust the stock so it fits you and go shooting.

    What's a fair price? - aka - Getting divorced.

    Re: What's a fair price? - aka - Getting divorced. I would say the scout would be around 1800 and the Barrett should be in the mid/low 3k range.

    The TRG accessories argument

    Re: The TRG accessories argument So in other words if I want a 20moa or so base (which is pretty standard around here so I am surprised to see some debate about wanting or needing a 20moa base). I need to buy the $195 AI Mount for the AE. Or for the TRG I buy a warne base for $90 and...

    AE MKII or DTA SRS or TRG-22

    Re: AE MKII or DTA SRS or TRG-22 I have both a AE MKII with a 5-25x56 S&B and a TRG42 with a 5x25x56 Premier in 338 lapua. Just a few obesrvations: The TRG42 with a 26" barrel is ~2 LBS *lighter* than the AE MKII with a 20" barrel. The only real use I have found for the folding stock on...

    AI AE MKII barrel finish

    Hello, I recent picked up a used AI AE MKII with the 20" barrel and muzzle brake. Right before the muzzle brake starts that barrel has a ding in the finish. Anyone know what the default barrel coating is? I was thinking of getting one of those Birchwood Casey super black touch-up pens and...

    Trg 42 ridge on cases

    Re: Trg 42 ridge on cases I thought I had mentioned this before but... An unfired case does not have the ridge at ~.3" it has a very gradual taper.. IE it slowly increase until it hits the rim. Only the fired brass has the ridge on it. The brass that has been sent through the sizing die...

    Trg 42 ridge on cases

    Hello all, I have a trg42 in 338 Lapua took it to the range to get sighted in and everything was great. After running the brass through my full length sizing die I notice they all have a ring about .3" from the base of the case, where it looks like the die had to work them over pretty hard...

    Rifle Scopes Height for rings on my TRG W/NF

    Re: Height for rings on my TRG W/NF On my TRG42 with a 25 MOA Near base I am using the seekins high rings (.97") for my 5.5-25x56 Premier. I have about a 1/4" of clearance: If I was to do it again I would prolly go with lows (.92"). Since your tube is a 30mm instead of a 34mm, I would...
