    Movie Theater Favorite Sniping Movie

    Re: Favorite Sniping Movie Lonesome Dove Best long range shot. Robert Duvall, pinned down in a low depression, killed his horse for cover. Finally got mad. "By God, thats enough" Ran the site on his Sharps all the way up and drilled em.

    Gunsmithing easy out ?

    Re: easy out ? The best bet is to take it to a machinist or a smith. They can put it in the mill, center drill it and possibly get it out with a left handed drill bit. An e-z out would be a last resort. If you snap one off and you are in trouble. This is definitely something that that you...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR

    Re: Burris XTR I have 2 XTRs. They are pretty decent scopes for the money. I would say that they are at the upper end of the mid range scopes. My next one will probably be a nightforce though. Big money but I don't hear anyone talking bad about them.

    Gunsmithing Best torque wrench on a budget!

    Re: Best torque wrench on a budget! You might check out OTC tools. I dont know if they have the smaller ones, but I have a couple of their torque wrenches and they always test as good or better than my snap ons, except for snap on that got sent back for repair. That one is dead nuts every time.

    Re: Patent Help I got my patent on a food container through my company. Im glad that I didnt have to fund it myself. I know that it cost the company quite a bit on the legal end of things. Lots of time with the lawyers. You might want to explore the provisional route.

    Action screws : Hex or slotted head?

    Re: Action screws : Hex or slotted head? Torx and hex are great, and easy to work with. In the unlikely event that you could get into any extrememly dirty or muddy conditions slotted is better since they are easier to clean out. It would do torx, but there isnt too much dirt between my safe...

    Gunsmithing Penrod Precision

    Re: Penrod Precision Wow, that is indeed some incredible work. Think that I will be giving him a call. How does the Penrod 25-06 compare to the AI or the std 25-06 on a performance basis? 25-06 is actually the caliber that I had in mind when I started the thread?

    Gunsmithing bolt play on a bare action

    When you look at a bare action with no barrel, trigger or anything like that, how much play should how have in the bolt? Both along the axis of bolt travel and radially. How much would be desired in a tactical / hunting set up? How much is too much? Thanks for helping out a new guy.
