    Rifle Scopes How to ID shifting recticle?

    I have several MK4s and a couple of cheaper Burris Fullfield IIs. I recently noticed during dry firing on the same rifle the Burris' recticle doesn't move or even vibrate at all while the MK4 ER/T's does. Does that signify a problem with the MK4? My buddy borrowed my Burris so I can't shoot it...

    savage 110 ba in .338 or 300 win mag?

    Re: savage 110 ba in .338 or 300 win mag? I'd vote for 338 Lapua if the ammo isn't so expensive. You're literally chambering a $5 bills each time you work the action. I did a little rough estimate. It has a barrel life of about 1,800 rounds, it'd cost you $7,650 for $70/box if you don't...

    Bringing back my 338 Savagae 110BA for refund

    Re: Bringing back my 338 Savagae 110BA for refund My buddy bought one and we shot it last weekend. It was a real shooter. Took us 3 shots out of the box to get it zero'ed in at 600 yards. With Prvi and handloads it shot under .5MOA out to 600 yards. However it had light primer strike...

    Re: JB Bore Paste on Barrel Break In... I've ruin perfectly good barrels with JB & Rem Bore Cleaner. Now I thin it down and use very little of it on final fitting of 1911 frames, slides & barrel bushings. My rule on barrel cleaning - No abrasives!! There isn't anything you can do to better a...

    Rifle Scopes QD rings for precision?

    I've been using TPS steel rings torqued to exactly 60"#s. I have more good quality rifles than good scopes so sometimes I have to remove a scope and put on another rifle. Some of the auto loaders get bulky with a scope and hard to store for transport. I'm wondering if ARMS #22 QD rings are...

    New rifle please help

    Re: New rifle please help Assuming your skill level is capable of 1 moa accuracy... 1. Check your scope base & ring screws like previous responses. 2. Check your action screws (I've seen a few rifles with loose screws that ruined the day). 45"# to 60"# works for most rifles. 3. Not sure how...

    Any FN SPR owners out there?

    Re: Any FN SPR owners out there? Thanks for the info on the bolt handle and Ben Voss as a contact. I'm going to check the bolt handle thing and do some more shooting with 2 more Leupold Mark4 scopes to make sure it's not me or the scope. I'll report back when I have some more data.

    Any FN SPR owners out there?

    Re: Any FN SPR owners out there? looks like I got a 'different' rifle. It is properly bedded. the number imprinted on the bedding is the same as on the receiver. The barrel is beded for a good 2". No pillar though. One would think a $2500 rifle would have pillars... It looks like a bad...

    Any FN SPR owners out there?

    Re: Any FN SPR owners out there? My experience is the exact opposite with the FN SPR rifles. I bought a new A3G with a .3" 3-shot group factory target. It wouldn't shoot less than 1.25" 5-shot groups no matter what. 3-shots in less than .5" all the time but the other 2 shots were always...

    My intro into the precision rifle world. FN A3G

    Re: My intro into the precision rifle world. FN A3G I bought a used A3G thinking it's gonna be my 'be all' 308 LR rifle. But my high expectations got me a lemon... as always. the damn thing won't shoot less than 1.125 MOAs with any ammo. The funny thing is, the proof target had a 4-shot group...

    Gunsmithing Looking for a good riflesmith

    Re: Looking for a good riflesmith I had my rifle done by Gre-tan Rifles in Rifle, CO 81650. Greg is very particular about what you want and his work shows quality. I had mine trued, bolt/firing pin hole bushed and rebarreled. one thing though. When you give him your spec, make sure you tell...
