    A&D FX120i labscale reloading upgrade with V2 auto trickler review.

    They didn't respond to me either. I had to keep bugging them and bugging them until I finally got a response saying that mine had already be processed. Why you wouldn't send a confirmation email is beyond me. Takes a simple email template. Or better yet. Before having a damn promotion, make sure...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Grid/Christmas tree Mil-C reticle?

    That's the main reason I didn't get a Nightforce optic. Kahles took my heart with the SKMR3

    Kestrel Help - Incorrect output

    I get a come up of .8 with a 0 altitude factor. Maybe the density altitude is screwing it up?

    Kestrel Help - Incorrect output

    Have you tried re-torqueing your rail and rings? I've seen that create major inconsistencies. Just out of curiosity, when you were having this problem before, were you utilizing the same scope?

    Rifle Scopes Months spent researching scopes, now what rings?

    I'd choose Badger! This is my 100th post so I can finally sell my Badger rings.

    Any way to get better accuracy without going closer to the lands?

    Sometimes Angeles. We find rocks out there at 1000 all day. Another spot is Desert marksman in Palmdale we go to. Same scenario.

    Any way to get better accuracy without going closer to the lands?

    Well I'm in Los Angeles, so our ranges around here typically don't either. We find ourselves many times finding rocks up in the hills past the 600 yd range limitation. Sometimes just head out to the desert is typically the best way to get out there.

    Any way to get better accuracy without going closer to the lands?

    I guess I really didn't answer the question about 6 vs 5. But that's a long debated topic for sure. In theory it promotes less projectile deformation. Also it is stated that the transition from the lands to the grooves are sloped less which makes cleaning much easier. Could you tell much of a...

    Any way to get better accuracy without going closer to the lands?

    It's been the most accurate rifle I have owned out of the box. I hear they are hit an miss though. Some shoot really great and some are just ok. I've been right next to the 6.5 guys in practice hitting 6" plates at 1000yds. Given I'm clicking at 12.5 ish and they are around 8 mils holdover. I'm...

    Any way to get better accuracy without going closer to the lands?

    175 gn HPBT SMK 43.5 gn Varget with a 2.800" OAL. Factory Remington 700 5R .308. I'm pretty happy with those results. I'm trying to develop something with the IMR 4166 powder now.

    Rifle Scopes Question on which spuhr mount

    Do this: Get some clay. Roll it up in two little balls. One for each mounting point for the scope. Compress the scope in the clay balls on your mounting surface until you're comfortable at where it lays. Measure the thickness of the compressed clay and you're done. That's the height you need in...

    Movie Theater Molly's Game

    I checked it out the other day. It was a pretty decent movie for sure. Held my attention. Sneaky Pete had some similarities in a few of their episodes as well. Plus readheads are my weakness.

    Rifle Scopes Months spent researching scopes, now what rings?

    My Apologies I didn't see the 4.5-27. So yeah! You should buy my Badger rings! I'd even let you try them out if you like since you're in socal.

    Rifle Scopes Months spent researching scopes, now what rings?

    My Badger 34mm rings won't fit his scope. He has a 30mm tube. Badger makes those. I had a Vortex with 30mm badger rings. They worked killer!

    Salutations--Gentlemen

    Be glad you and your brother were able to share those things. Mine is a POS. Always will be.

    Rifle Scopes Months spent researching scopes, now what rings?

    I would say buy my Badger rings, but they are 34mm. Won't fit. Honestly I've ran badger on a few rifles and have never had a problem. They are machined in pairs and in my opinion, are well worth the money. Stout rings that won't let you down. I do also have a Spurh and plan on getting another...
