    Remington Sendero 7 Mag - LEMON!!!!

    I didn't say that. Some of them do know what they're buying, and they go into the deal knowing they are going to change something, fix something, update something, maybe even strip it down the action and have a new rifle built on it. Most of them don't though. And those buyers are either new...

    Remington Sendero 7 Mag - LEMON!!!!

    They sell 700's to the thousands largely to the uninformed masses. The vast majority of informed buyers are doing so with the intention of either getting a full custom build or at the very least knowing they will have to "do a little work" on it to "get it to shoot."

    Weigh in on my future build

    Thanks for the info 5RWill. I feel like I already know you since I've read so many of your posts lately. Read more from you on the Tempest than anyone else. Trust me, I wanted to get one. Tried to convince myself, but there's just too many negative reviews regarding functionality. I've been...

    Remington Sendero 7 Mag - LEMON!!!!

    They are so far behind the curve on what's going on in the precision rifle market today. Let this put things into perspective on Remington. Remington JUST NOW came out with a 6.5 Creedmoor. Think about that. They may be the last company that manufactures rifles to start chambering them in the...

    Weigh in on my future build

    There's advice from a guy more qualified than most! You crossed over to PRS? Are you shooting at the club matches on Navasota? Regarding the rifle, you're sticking with 6.5 now. That speaks volumes to me. When it comes to pure sbooting, you can likely out-shoot everybody at any given PRS...

    Weigh in on my future build

    Great question. It would make too much sense right? To begin with, I've been wanting to get a rifle built by Omar for awhile now. This all started with my recent discovery of a couple of things. The first being there is a range 1 hr from me that I can shoot steel out to 1100 - 1200 yards, and...

    Weigh in on my future build

    It's been a few yeas since I've had a rifle built. I've gotten back on the 'Hide recently, and started learning how much I don't know. After spending way too much time here over the last couple weeks, I've decided on a direction my new build will go in. I'm posting it here so guys can weigh...

    Manners EH1/1A vs PRS1/2 vs T6A

    What are the inherent differences between the Manners - EH1A - PRS1/2 - T6A Are they all the same stock except for weight and maximum width of barrel channel? I know there's a difference in the PRS1 and PRS2 on the bottom with one made for riding a bag and the other has a hook for...

    Hey Mike, what's the warranty on the Kahles? Of all the ones I've bought from you, I've never asked.

    Curtis Custom Axiom Action???

    Been reading all evening about the Curtis and the Tempest. I've been out of the game for a little while now. Haven't been reading SH and/or doing much shooting to speak of. Recently found out there are PRS club type matches held monthly an hour from me, so I'm going to get a Bergara B-14 HMR...

    F T/R Competition Build my F-T/R rifle & Loading System

    I have a spiral fluted MTU contour that is polished, and poi walked up about .25 MOA in a 300yd match in August this year (Houston). And that was a 45 rd "summer rules" match.

    F T/R Competition Build my F-T/R rifle & Loading System

    Cerakoting vs Polishing Is there an effect on temp of the barrel going one route over the other? In this game, our only real concern with barrel heat is how fast does it get hot while shooting a 20 - 25 shot string, and will that heat effect accuracy or cause POI shift. Right? Not...

    Rifle Scopes How do I get brass marks off windage turret?

    Thanks for the help and the inspirational smart-ass replies. I ended up selling it for what I was asking.

    Rifle Scopes How do I get brass marks off windage turret?

    I like the scope, but its just so damn big! If US Optics comes out with a 5-25 more along the size of a Kahles 624 or March 3-24, then I will be first in line for one.

    You're hurting your own cause

    Agreed. These people are making us all look bad. Jackasses supreme.

    Rifle Scopes How do I get brass marks off windage turret?

    I appreciate the offer Jason, but I got mine cleaned up. No big deal. Plus, you guys aren't obligated to send out free knobs to everyone that gets a little bit of wear on their scopes. I do sincerely appreciate the offer though. It falls in line with everything I've heard and experienced...

    Rifle Scopes How do I get brass marks off windage turret?

    I got as much off as I'm gonna do. Whoever buys it can pretty it up further if it's that important to them. Looking at it normally you can't really see anything. If you tilt it just right so the light catches it just so, then you can see that there was something there.

    Rifle Scopes How do I get brass marks off windage turret?

    Thanks Jason. How much is a new knob? I assume it's pretty simple to replace.

    Rifle Scopes How do I get brass marks off windage turret?

    I agree with the character it adds. Plus, you can't even see it when the scope is mounted (at least I couldn't). The guy that is interested in buying the scope is wanting me to knock another $100 off of the initial offer he made, and that initial offer was $200 less than my price. Not wanting...
