Re: Why "breaking in" a barrel is NOT necessary How do you like those TUBB rounds? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Rob01</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Thoughts from Krieger. 13 runds for break in. Not exactly burning up a barrel...

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...

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...

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...

...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...

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!

Re: Remington 40 X chambered in .308 Oh, there's no way I m actually going to SHOT my new gun. The barrel will get shot out, you know.

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...

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?

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.

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...

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.

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...

Re: AR-15 - Looking for Top Accuracy 2 words: Larue, and Noveske.

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!
