    Rifle Scopes Need help with Christmas idea for kids

    I have seven kids. I want to buy four of them their first .22 rifle for Christmas presents. Based on this thread, I was planning on buying four of these. I would like to mount a scope with tactical turrets on each of the four so they will be able to dope their rifles to send rounds out...

    Rifle Scopes How does one calculate the effect a canted base

    I have a Remington 700P chambered in .308 topped with a Bushnell 4200 Elite. The biggest problem to owning this particular scope is that it only has 50 moa built into it (mine actually has 45 but the book says that it has 50). To make up for this deficiency, it is mounted on a 40 moa canted...

    Alternate ways to squeeze a trigger

    Re: Alternate ways to squeeze a trigger LoneWolfUSMC, I saw a video on youtube of you shooting. The one titled Remington 700 Trigger and Bolt Manipulation. In that video, it appears as if you have each of your five finger tips in contact with the midline of the weapon with most of your...

    Alternate ways to squeeze a trigger

    As I lay on my bedroom floor dry-firing, I had one of those moments - you know, where you think you might have discovered something that no one has ever thought of before. I got all twitterpated with twitterpations and then the forebrain bitch-slapped limbic system. The limbic system asked...

    Any contraindications to mounting a Kydex on 700p?

    As a LR neophyte, I place more stock in the opinions of others than I do in my own judgment. Having said that, I recently hit upon the idea of attaching a Kydex Adjustable Cheek Rest to my as-yet-to-be-fired-because-I-want-the-first-one-out-of-the-barrel-to-have-maximum-sweetness Remington...
