    Rifle Scopes USO 5x25/ 0 degree cant AI unimount issue.

    I purchased a USO from a Bluegrass Tactical (who I would give high marks to) along with an AI 0 degree cant unimount type base on top a Surgeon action. Much to my surprise I ran out of downward adjustment with the point of impact adjustment bottoming out 1 inch high at 100 yards. If this is...

    Neighbor shooting toward my property

    Re: Neighbor shooting toward my property First go through all the niceties towards him and document them. Assuming you own the property,iIf he's remains a jerk, rent a dozer and build your own monster berm right on your side of his property line where his view is ruined but yours is not. Run...

    LaRue308 vs POF308

    Re: LaRue308 vs POF308 Island, I have both. I will actually sell you my POF in excellent condition low round count right now if you want it. Not to say that the POF is a POS. It has never failed to feed or extract and I rate that high on the list. Both guns shoot about as accurate which is to...

    Rifle Scopes ONGOING Changes at USO

    Re: ONGOING Changes at USO In the process of buying a first USO. The big question now is how in the world am I going to sell and replace all the other high end scopes in the safe that I no longer think are first rate. I do have a question about replacing a reticule. How much money, downtime...

    Gunsmithing Polishing a 1911 feed ramp?

    Re: Polishing a 1911 feed ramp? This is not an amateur dremeling primary, more of just my opinion on what I would not do with a dremel. If a gun really needs a serious throat and polish only a known quantity 1911 smith will do and I have used them often. Yeah it's 100 bucks you'd rather not...

    Red Jacket

    Re: Red Jacket Which is worse? Having to sit in the room while someone else watches Glee or to watch Red Jacket? Yeah RJ is a poster child for gun control but watching a bunch of he-she's prance and sing in tights makes me want to hurl. Your choice if you're going to watch TV. I'll be out in...

    Rifle Scopes Question about a scope that's been "refurbed"

    Re: Question about a scope that's been "refurbed" With Leupy your questions are academic. They will fix anything, anywhere, anytime if it goes wrong. Assuming that is there was no warranty limiting language that came with the scope.

    Gunsmithing Bad luck streak continues w/ my smith

    Re: Bad luck streak continues w/ my smith Maybe this post is not a prank after all. This looks a lot like the work a local smith did on one of my rifles before he disappeared. Any leads on where this smith is so I can track him down for some "touchups" on my rig?

    Prvi Partizan .308

    Re: Prvi Partizan .308 Shot a bunch of it. It will shoot okay for a couple of groups and then have several odd ball fliers in pairs. I would not qualify it as match ammo for that reason, but it dependes on what you want. It is top quality "doomsday" ammo for storage, or shooting out of a so...

    338 Lapua Magnum HSM

    Re: 338 Lapua Magnum HSM Hate to be negative here and don't want to start a war. But I bought and fired some new loaded HSM 338 Lapua and fired it once. I then lightly reloaded the HSM cases with "mild" load and fired them from my GAP Surgeon/Bartlein, Manners Stock. I was shocked when the...

    Maggie’s Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen

    Re: Most Ridiculous Accuracy Claim You have Seen The worst "deadeye" that I ever ran into claimed he could shoot a game animal in the eye everytime at 700 yds with his 7mm-08. This happened on an exotic game ranch where "you wound, you pay" is the rule, even if you don't find the animal...

    Maggie’s COLUMBIAN TACTICAL RIFLES

    Re: COLUMBIAN TACTICAL RIFLES I'll bid 100 dollars for the house and trashy artwork. That cave pool in the basement is going to have to be drained tho because no telling what's in that water. Nice post (again).

    Hornady LNL progressive vs. Dillon 550?

    Re: Hornady LNL progressive vs. Dillon 550? Greg, so you are stopping the cycle to hand weigh each charge? Weighing is not such a big deal with an electronic scale but...seems to defeat the purpose of all the speed of production. Okay so 10 or 15 percent variation from charge to charge is...

    Hornady LNL progressive vs. Dillon 550?

    Re: Hornady LNL progressive vs. Dillon 550? The Dillon catalogue has an adapter if one wants to run a different powder measure thrower on a 550. That is a powder measure that would more consistently meter out stick powder. There is no similar adapter listed in the Dillon Catalogue to run a...
