    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    Thanks for the video's. I was thinking of just having her sit / kneel and go prone...........and hold the rifle.....not working with the sling. More about being consistent with how she addresses the rifle i.e. start to develop muscle memory with her cheek weld and getting a sight picture. I...

    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    Thanks a bunch for the information! Especially for the explanation of why she'll be going to Paris Island. My wife had hoped she would be going to California.......so we could visit and enjoy the weather come fall / winter of 2018.

    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    "BTW, who is the recruiter and where from? Can I make a wild guess and say; Champaign, IL? Thats the only former marine K9 handler I know and he’s a Master Guns. Great guy." My daughter is working with Staff Sergeant Joshua Johantgen. I didn't ask where he is from.....but I have to...

    Rifle Scopes Need ACOG Advice For New Marine Recruit

    Thanks to all who have offered advice. We greatly appreciate it!!! The Marine Sergeant recruiter said my daughter would do her rifle qualification using an ACOG. I wanted to ask the question here....because of the expert knowledge base.....as I have no experience with them...I'm a scope, red...

    Hey fellow SH'ers.......My daughter is going to take her oath this Thursday.......to join the Marine Corps. She won't do basic until August / September of 2018. She will be going to Parris Island.....according to the recruiter. Anyway, she has her heart set on Military Police.......Canine...

    Short action for precision rifle

    Not sure if you are basing your build off this article: http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek046.html I started with the exact same spec reamer.that Terry used.......ended up throating my barrel and seating the bullets out farther than a short action magazine can handle. My original 260 Improved is based...

    Short action or long?

    I'm in the middle of a build right now......that I've decided to run a long action over a short. I have a 260 Improved that I use Berger 140 gr. VLD's in a Remington short action. This rifle is, because of the OAL of the cartridge, a single shot. My new build uses the same cartridge but I'll...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold ?

    I think they are like most of the big companies.....have lines built in China, Philippines and Japan. Seems like.......at first blush....the lower end units come from China...next up Philippines and then the top tier from Japan. I'm sure this isn't a 100% hard and fast rule.....but seems to be a...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold ?

    Guys....Are these scopes from the same lines?? I realize these are made all over the world....but perhaps there's a line to avoid? VX??

    Rifle Scopes Leupold ?

    BCP: Which model of Leupold is that? I won a rimfire rifle with a sub $50 Tasco scope, from a local raffle, a few years back.....the reticle looked very much like that. Looking at your reticle.....all I can muster is "Wow!" I would have thought the QC at Leupold would be light years better...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone unable to mount a NF due to lapping ban?

    ^^^^^^^^^^ 100%....If the action and base are true. I've never had to lap a set of NightForce, Seekins, Farrell, Badger etc.
  15. Senderofan

    Solved.

    Have you determined if the barrel is making any contact with your chassis? I wouldn't think it had anything to do with the action......so I would think barrel or chassis. The action screw holes left to k aligned with the chassis? Other than how it looks......I wonder how it shoots?? You...

    Bought a Savage for a build... Second guessing myself.

    I wouldn't worry about accuracy potential of what you've listed. More important........is the shooter 0.5 moa or better?? I think that accuracy comes with practice. And the money you would be saving by going with the Savage....... would pay for a lot of ammo......and thus potential for practice...

    Rifle Scopes Question re Sightron

    I've owned both......at the same time. I presently only own the 8-32x. I had the same experience / impressions that you have with the 10-50x. The image was clear enough to punch holes in paper at 1k. The way I looked at it.....for around a thousand dollars........it was a solid deal. Turrets...

    Rifle Scopes New Swarovski smart scope?

    Great cinematography.....beautiful scenery......I'm sure the scope is amazing but with all those features it will probably be beyond a lot of peoples budgets. For me....I'd be concerned about the robustness of the electronics if a guy should happen to stumble and fall on a long hike up a...

    Next cartridge to try?

    If you want to ring steel, reliably, I think you're going to need more than a .223.....unless you plan on pushing the heaviest 22 cal pills. But as was described.....switching bolt head or having a second bolt along with your barrel and it's done. i still think you'd be super happy with a 6BR...

    Next cartridge to try?

    For something very easy to work with and no recoil.......I'd recommend the 6Br. I have a 6Dasher and when I fireform my brass.......it amazes me how accurate a middle of the road load is and almost no recoil......pushing 105gr bullets. I'm sure the super fast 20 or 22 stuff is a hoot......I...
