    Fulton Armory Criterion Barrel Results

    This may be a bit off topic but I bought a criterion barrel not too long ago for my r 700 and have been very pleased with the results. I went with a 28in, 1:10 twist, and 1in diameter. That was a 3 shot group at 200m during some load development. Overall I am looking to build a precision...

    Problem: Remington 700 shoots low

    Here is a pic of my 20 moa scope base - I'm not sure if it is just the perspective that the picture was taken but the back of mine seems much more elevated than yours does. You are positive its a 20 moa base? my front seems higher as well so maybe the back is higher just to compensate but...

    Anyone here good with wireless router issues?

    Re: Anyone here good with wireless router issues? ultimately the wireless radio is the first part to fail on most routers. It will start with intermittent speed loss or dropping the connection all together. Rarely wireless interference on a certain channel will cause this like others have...
