Re: What actually makes rings "good". you are correct sir. I think the the initial discussion can go in many directions. you can make perfect rings and have a horribly out of spec rail as stated. since its a technical discussion what glen brought up is a point worth discussing. most big...

Re: What actually makes rings "good". Just as above the following is not meant to call anyone substandard or for that matter get on any soapbox. its technical reference regarding the question. I'm not trying to post a list of who's stuff is better worse or plain S*$t, so if you take it that...

Re: What actually makes rings "good". guys whats a quick way to post pics in a post, for better technical exp thanks

Re: What actually makes rings "good". Mike, this may help. most of the "pressed in" side clamp bolt designs (badger leupols mk4 NF etc) will work in the weaver rail design. The Leupold MK4 evolved from the Leupold Ultra series designed for the initial M24 and earlier US Army SWS. that SWS...

Re: What actually makes rings "good". The debate over who makes the best rings will go on forever. A few points to consider if the manufacturer makes them available. How are the rings made? As matched sets? As a single ring body then caps sawn off? Matched sets provide the best solution...

Re: FNH Scope Rings all of the FNH ring sets were made as true matching pairs. this includes the aluminum steel and titanium version. they were also made as a single piece and the tops were sawn off cap are serialized and then deburred, blasted, inspected and then coated. the aluminum are...

Re: Schmidt & Bender Awarded the PSR Contract yes they did have a submission but fell short kinda early.

Re: Schmidt & Bender Awarded the PSR Contract Thanks James Rob01 is exactly right S&B won the selection based on merit and meeting the thresholds and objectives put forth. there will always be a loser. My point is it’s not fair to USO (or Leupold for that matter) for there to be an...

Re: Schmidt & Bender Awarded the PSR Contract For what it’s worth the USO submission was an outstanding effort by JWIII and the guys there. I personally used both pieces of glass and neither really had any marked advantage over the other and they both had to pay the ridiculous license fee for...

Re: Help finding a Dr. Optic Mount for day scope guys just for clarification, that ancillary ring mount is not a knock off. At the request of the S8 shop at 5th SFG I made that mount in early '02 for the prototype C-more MRD. They did not pursue the ancillary mount and eventually went with...

Re: Aluminum vs. Steel Scope Mounts I think a few things are being overlooked. EGW's intent was to bring an economical rail to the mainstream shooter, not challenge the higher-end products for market share. I can say this as fact you'll have a very difficult time finding a company with better...

Re: folding stock for Rem 700 McMillan Firearms Manufacturing's folding stock is an active program. The MFM folder was at SHOT '09 in the MFM booth not the fiberglass stock booth. In addition it has been fielded in Europe for the past year and some members of the little Army are currently...
