    Why "breaking in" a barrel is NOT necessary

    Rifle Scopes precision Q/D mount for 30mm scope

    Re: precision Q/D mount for 30mm scope The Spuhr looks like a sweet setup, very "forward-looking" as well. Can they be purchased or at least are there prices online? The reason I would like QD is for money saving reasons...at the current time, I don't have the funds to "Nightforce" my...

    Rifle Scopes precision Q/D mount for 30mm scope

    I am thinking of going with a Q/D mount for my first build on the 40 X platform, with pic rail. My scope will be a Nightforce 8-32 x 56, so the whole setup will be half decent...certainly not an Accuracy International with S&B glass but decent enough to warrant the best Q/D mount money can buy...

    Why "breaking in" a barrel is NOT necessary

    I was as the range this evening. I'm sending 75 grain 5.56 mm TAP's downrange and the guy next to me, maybe he was 25, was shooting a new high end bolt gun. It looked like a custom smith job. He showed me the proof target, it shot 0.2" group at 100 yards, I was like wow you got a winner...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 8-32 x 56 focus, brightness throughout

    ...throughout its zoom range. I would love to own this scope, but one thing that scares me is from past experience, I know that the golly-gee-whiz zoom range scopes...that meaning the ones that you can see the American flag on the moon with and read the NASA serial number...are often time...

    Best bolt action rifle for $2500

    OK so I know "best" is subjective, but what is the general consensus here on the 'Hide regarding $2,500 'bolts? Currently I am looking at a Remington custom 40 X, but want to think outside my own little box and explore all possibilities. Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes Lapping rings

    Re: Lapping rings I lap al my rings. I will never so a scope mount without lapping first. I use 220 grit Wheeler compound first, then polish it up with 320 grit. Going any higher is not necessary. If you buy good rings, have a good scope, lap said rings, use red loctite, and torque to...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for Remington 700 Police

    Re: Scope for Remington 700 Police to me, MOA means minute-of-angle a.k.a. 1/60th of a degree. Mil means .001" to me. Is that correct?

    Remington 40 X chambered in .308

    Re: Remington 40 X chambered in .308 I never for the life of me understood why caliber made a difference in accuracy either..I just say it because everybody else does.

    Remington 40 X chambered in .308

    I have been looking for a bolt action range rifle that will shoot 1/2 MOA or less (100 yard shooting mainly, but will reach out to 500 occasionally). I had my eye on the Remington 700 Police, however while at the local dealer today, I was talked into putting a Custom Shop 40X TDR in .308. Is...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for Remington 700 Police

    Re: Scope for Remington 700 Police I was just at the dealer. Long story short, I put a Remington Custom Shop 40X in .308 on layaway. I am hoping that this gun, with one of the aforementioned optical packages, will one-hole a 100 yards.

    Rifle Scopes Scope for Remington 700 Police

    My local dealer has a Remington 700 Police that I have my eye on big time. Seems like an awesome platform to start with. What would be a good scope to match the quality of this rifle? I know that NightForce, S&B, and USO are all good scopes, but does one particular model shine above the...

    Revolutionary and Civil war sniper rifles

    I'm interested in learning all about the snipers of the Revolutionary and Civil war, and the weapons they used. What would be a good source of this info? I've googled it but haven't had much luck. If anybody enjoys talking about this topic, let's have at it!
