    Groups from my first time shooting a bolt action

    When I initially set my eye relief I was prone.. I was also prone in all of the above shots. That's what I'll be shooting mostly. What changed between those two groups was the ammo I was using. First group, the bad one was with cheap American eagle and the tighter groups were with silver state...

    Groups from my first time shooting a bolt action

    Cleaning new rifle question.

    Hey guys just got my first bolt action rifle. All I've had before are .22s and ar15s. Just cleaned to bore, do you oil the barrel or run it dry? For my ar I run an oil patch through and then a dry patch. Same for the m700?

    Just got a b&c stock for my first bolt action.. Some questions

    I just painted it and noticed that the barrel is off center. Will this affect my accuracy? Was definitely expecting more out of this stock. The sling studs are off center too.

    Rifle Scopes What's your favorite scope covers?

    Just got a vortex viper hs-t. Need some scope covers for it. Looking at those newish butler creek tactical ones. They're more of a rubber than the normal butler creek ones, how are those? Other ideas? It has a 44mm objective.

    Rifle Scopes Will I regret getting the vortex viper hs-t?

    Alright guys I'm gonna sound like a dumbass here so forgive my ignorance. The hs-t just showed up in the mail and like I said before this is my first scope. Just want to make sure I have this correct. So when I dial for windage and elevation it actually moves the reticle and after I dial I still...

    Question about trimming/ trim length of .223

    Ok thanks. I'll just shoot the short ones out to 1.75 then. On average how many times can you reload cases? I've only reloaded cases twice at this point. This is for an ar15 too by the way, if that matters.

    Question about trimming/ trim length of .223

    Hey guys so a while back i read on ultimate Reloader or something that you could trim to 10% less than what the manual states so you could trim less often. Well I posted this on another forum and they said it was a big no no. Hornady manual states to trim .223 to 1.75 and I was trimming to...

    Got my first stuck case..

    Been reloading about a year and got my first stuck case today. This is how I got it out. I know there are kits and what not but for this you'll need a 1/4 28 tap, a 13/64 drill bit, 2 1/2" nuts, a 1/4-28 bolt. I flipped my die upside down, drilled out the primer pocket, tapped it, put two...

    Rifle Scopes Can anybody identify these scope rings?

    Buddy gave them to me. Sai they were badger which I don't believe they are. He probably got them a while ago so I'm just curious on the manufacturer. Thanks in advance.
