    Just found out my new FN A3G is messed up

    Re: Just found out my new FN A3G is messed up If bedding a scope rail is a common procedure, why wouldn't the guy at FN have told me instead of telling me to send the gun back, that they would probably have to replace it, and I would have to wait a month to get a new one? Looks like I can...

    Just found out my new FN A3G is messed up

    Re: Just found out my new FN A3G is messed up Just talked to FN. The guy said the reciever is probably drilled wrong and they would have to replace the rifle. Said that would probably take a month. I've about had it with FN. I bought a FN SLP showgun last fall. The front sight is...

    Just found out my new FN A3G is messed up

    Was trying to get everything level and kept getting different bubble level readings between the back or the scope base rail to the front. Just figured out what's wrong. Level is a Starret so I'm pretty sure it's accurate. Back of scope base rail. Back screws tightened. Front screws loose...

    Harris Bipod copper colored metal ring upgrade?

    I've noticed one thing about my Harris Bipod that bothers me. It's the little copper colored metal coil ring on the front of the bipod that keeps the little arm that's attached to the sling swivel clamps. Has anyone upgraded this with something like a stainless cotter pin?

    New FN A3G - FN target group pics

    Just picked her up today. Ordered from Cheaper Than Dirt. Serial# 33XXX Interestingly, there was only one target in the box. I've read where others were getting two, one before bedding and one after. Maybe after getting a .296 group @ 100 yards they decided it didn't need to be sent to...

    I'm new to long range shooting so bear with me. After spending all week researching scopes for my new FNH AG3 .308 that will be coming in next week, I've narrowed it down to: Leupold ER/T 6.5-20x50 M5 TMR Leupold ER/T 8.5-25x50 M5 TMR I know... It's a Leupold but I've read enough posts by...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce F1 - Entire eyepiece rotates?

    Re: Nightforce F1 - Entire eyepiece rotates? I've decided on the Leupold 6.5x-20x50mm M5 34mm. It has a magnification ring instead of the entire eyepiece rotating. If it hadn't been for this issue I would have gone with the Nightforce but not being able to use caps was a deal breaker for me.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce F1 - Entire eyepiece rotates?

    Re: Nightforce F1 - Entire eyepiece rotates? Think I just found my answer: "Is the whole eye piece on the NXS supposed to rotate" For our NXS 3.5-15x, 5.5-22x, 8-32x, and 12-42x the answer is YES. When the diopter adjustment is locked in place by the lock-ring after you have focused the...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce F1 - Entire eyepiece rotates?

    Had just about decided on a Nightforce F1 for my new FNH A3G then... 4:47 into this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe9vGG1p1GA Looks like entire eyepiece rotates when changing zoom. I really don't like this because you can use Butler creek flip up scope caps on the eyepiece if the...

    Re: GAP Custom Build Recommendations 10-12 months?! I can build an AR in my garage in a few hours! I might could wait 4-6 weeks but 10-12 months? This has me thinking about just throwing in the towel on a bolt action, getting a Larue PredatOBR 7.62 and calling it a day.
