    Millett BK810004

    Re: Millett BK810004 When we get some warmer weather and I can spend some serious time working the scope, I'll take it out to a range I've found that has an 800 yard distance so I can work the math and work the mil-dot on the Millett. I don't expect any problems, but anything can happen...

    Millett BK810004

    Re: Millett BK810004 My recent Duren Custom Rem 700 acquisition had/has a Millett TRS-1 (old knobs) on it. So far I've had no complaints about it other than the knobs, which Millett has updated. I keep my dialing noted in my data book when I make adjustments, so no worries there. 1/2 MOA @...

    U.S.S causing discharge...any easy fixes?

    Re: U.S.S causing discharge...any easy fixes? Managed to find a dremel sanding drum that would fit without taking material from both sides of the trigger well. Took off quite a bit and remounted, but got a bit worried when I discovered that it shifted more. Trial and error assembly caused...

    U.S.S causing discharge...any easy fixes?

    Re: U.S.S causing discharge...any easy fixes? That's the direction I figured I'd be going. Not sure if I can tackle this myself with a dremel and may just take it to my smith. Should be easy, but who knows.

    U.S.S causing discharge...any easy fixes?

    Picked up a used Rem 700 (older action and custom Remington heavy barrel) that was mounted in an Ultimate Sniper Stock. I could have sworn when I inspected it that cycling the bolt tripped the trigger. Upon further inspection I have discovered that the action is seated slightly to the right in...

    Gear Queer or Well Equiped?

    Re: Gear Queer or Well Equiped? Just makes you tacti-cool. If it's useful and practical, go for it. If it's something that's a gimmick or just won't be practical for use, then avoid it for now. My Blackhawk Raptor X-3 was a blessing on my deployment. I had several folks laughing about that...

    Duren custom Rem 700?

    Is anyone familiar with any of Frank Duren's custom work? If so, I'd appreciate some more information on his builds/work. I just picked up one of his custom Remington 700's in .308 Winchester. So far, I'm so impressed that this rifle is one of my collective that WILL NOT be allowed to leave...

    This setup capable of 1000 yrds.?

    Re: This setup capable of 1000 yrds.? DPMS says it will hit at 1000 yards with the right optics, the right/patient shooter, and plenty of practice. I managed to pop a clay pigeon at just over 400 yards with my LR-308C (even with the FTF's going on). And that was done on a freshly mounted...

    LR-308 feeding problem update!!!

    One of the DPMS forum members posted a pair of videos on YouTube illustrating that the LR-308 is cycling the 180 gr ammo without issue, but tends to jam on the 150gr-168gr ammo. DPMS has asked a bunch of us to check our gas blocks and front sights for evidence of venting from the gas system...

    what semi would this be?

    Re: what semi would this be? To stay practical, I'll bet most will say .308 Winchester or 7.62 NATO. I'd personally be custom loading my ammo at 500+ to help sure up my shots at that distance. I managed to pop a clay pigeon at 425 on South African .308 fmj (think it's 150gr), but some of...

    Should I be pissed??

    Re: Should I be pissed?? I think the OP was wondering if this was a brass-caused issue since the rifle appeared unfired or had little ammo through it. But I agree that blemishes will eventually appear...gives them character and makes it more personal to the shooter. <div...

    Advanced Marksmanship Unsteady Shooting (Please Help)

    Re: Unsteady Shooting (Please Help) Jeb, One of the things that I personally keep running across is folks telling each other to make sure to find a load that their particular rifle likes/prefers. Some even suggest hand-loads tuned to the rifle. Might be another aspect to look into with...
