Re: Titanium rings and bases! Oh please, please NO. I was hoping everyone was going to forget about Ti. That was one of my first jobs running when I got here and what a PITA. Aluminum and Steel much, much better. The Machinist

Re: Remington M700 or Winchester M70 Jerid, Thanks for your comments. Do have a controlled-round feeding (Pre-64) or push feed (Post-64) receiver. Seems the push feed is much cheaper to obtain than the controlled round (Claw Extractor) design. The Machinist

I've got a question for those who had a chance to really compare in the field as to their likes and/or dislikes when comparing a Remington M700 to a Winchester M70. I've spent considerable time doing research on the subject, but would like to know what your opinions are on the subject are here...

Re: Slipping TPS rings I’ve been following this thread from a personal interest at home and again looked at it this afternoon. My knowledge as I have mentioned before is from the machining side, but the issues, problems and complaints that I have read here on this thread 100% relate back to...

Re: Are TPS rings good stuff? If you can email or call the tech department, I am sure they will get you fixed up asap. I'm typing from a mobile at home, hence the short grammer

Re: Are TPS rings good stuff? rookie7, When it comes to firearms and optical mounting questions, i'm probably not your man, however I was lucky enough to ask the question at the coffee pot this morning. For AR flat top applications, you would be looking at High or X-High, depending upon...

Re: Are TPS rings good stuff? Please don't take this response as a CS response, because I would be out of line in putting myself in that position along with my access to a computer . My job is to make parts, which I am good at; customer service isn't my job and probably wouldn't do well at...

Re: Totally disgusted with Leupold We have this ongoing list on the wall showing the latest companies and products which have sold out the U.S. workers and the list is long. Leupold of course is on the list with only certain products, such as the Mark 4 Rings, but the one that caused the...

Re: Totally disgusted with Leupold Amen, If all these companies keep having outsourcing overseas people like me won't even have a job. I think my employer would fire me if I got caught with something made in china.

Re: NF Rail .850 I believe. Hope that helps.

Re: Ring Size? Kevmo I am not an expert on firearms but I have learned something about ring heights with regards to optics. You would need low rings if you were using tps,badger,leupold mark 4, Barrett or nightforce.

Re: The Brown Truck came today! Thanks for the info on the Super Sniper scope. We have a few hanging around in the inspection department, just didn't know where they came from. I looked on their website and price is in my budget for sure. The rings and rails are not a concern, I get them...
