    New scope cap introduction

    I'd like to see it as a clamp on piece, not friction like the BC caps. Split the ring long ways and use two 10-32 bolts. Would also be easier than making so many different threaded pieces. It would be great in that on the ocular you could still adjust eye piece focus and the power ring, like...

    How many sheets of printer paper between floated barrel and stock?

    Usually right around a half a ream "borrowed" from the office ensures a proper free float.

    Opinions on Dillon 550 vs 650

    I started out on a Square Deal B. It was cheap and easy to use. My Rock Chucker took care of my rifle needs, still does my match ammo. I upgraded 13 years to a 650 when my friend wanted to get rid of his. It's a great machine. That said, there is a learning curve involved. There's a lot of...

    Trigger pound pull

    As others have stated, I don't think your choice of rifle is going to get you to 1500 yards. Look at it like this: You want to drag race over a mile stretch and get there the fastest (Gun wise - Most accurate). Instead of a sports car (Bolt gun) you chose a pick-up (Modern Sporting Rifle semi...

    Best place to buy AICS

    I would rather buy used and save some $'s. I leave the latest and greatest to the guys with deeper wallets. After the next latest and greatest comes out they sell the "old" stuff at a loss. I'm fine being a generation or two behind. As far as the AICS, I got mine off eBay. OD green 1.5 with...

    Test Results: Accuracy/Precision of Annealed, Non-Annealed, COAL to Magazine Length and ti

    In the first picture you have groups #3 and #6 as Magazine Length with a 2.956" OAL. I assume that is simply a misprint and the OAL is 2.815. Nice work by the way. Makes me think I need to anneal.

    Can you put a pws mk2 upper on a pof lower?

    According to PWS: "The MK2 uppers will not fit with the wide ranging variance in tolerances found on many other .308/7.62 lowers. As a result we will only be offering the MK2 line as complete rifles." That info may be old though, their site lists just uppers for sale. I guess you could try...

    Rifle Scopes Need help! Las Vegas store with large scope selection?

    I haven't been to a store with what I would call hign end scopes here in Vegas. There is Bass Pro at the Sivlerton Lodge down south (I-15 and Blue Diamond Rd.) and Sportsman's Warehouse in the NW valley (HWY-95 and Ann Rd.). Don't get me wrong, they have really good selections, but the scopes...
