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

    Ha! Great answers! This is obviously the end of the world for me. Those markings open up my groups by at least an inch. Also keep me from hitting most steel targets out past 100 yards. Must be throwing off the balance of the rifle due to the added weight. I'm trying to sell the scope...

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

    Looks like the windage turret caught a few pieces of brass being ejected. Is there a way I can get this off? All smart-ass, condescending, and even helpful replies welcome.

    Rifle Scopes What the hell to do?

    I'm a big proponent of giving the buyer the benefit of the doubt, even beyond what many others may deem reasonable. It always seems to work out much like your scenario in the long run, and if it doesn't, at least you can say that you have gone above and beyond to try to resolve whatever the...

    F T/R Competition F T/R build sequence question.

    I haven't read your entire thread, but I'm going through this right now. Since I'm trying to get it finished in time to use in the TSRA Mid Range on Oct 10, I ended up buying extra components that I was planning on trying to sell either here or on accurateshooter.com. I'll PM you the details...

    Gap 10

    I feel like a fan-boy b/c I just posted this in mike1113's thread a few days ago, but you just can't go wrong with the GAP-10. Not even comparable to DPMS. Depends on what you're going to do with it, and what kind of accuracy you want/need. If MOA'ish is acceptable, DPMS, if .5 MOA is more...

    My new baby

    Lofty put the Silent Capture spring in it, and he had the JP LMOS. Pretty sure you can just order them from JP though. Does it seem like your barrel gets pretty hot pretty quick? Mine sure does. And the brass is on fire for a while after it comes out. The first time I was shooting it I...

    My new baby

    Really cool rifle man! I'm really starting to fall in love with mine. I was back and forth between a GAP-10 and JP. Can't really go wrong with either. I'm not a huge "barrel break-in" guy, but I'm taking my time on this one just because. I'm sure you won't have to worry about MOA groups for...

    Btw, the term "whatthefuckery" has had me cracking up the last couple of days! I'm going to have to start using that.

    I appreciate all the advice. I just thought I had gone deep into the rabbit hole a couple of years ago when I started reloading and getting various custom rifles, but this is a completely new level of "crazy"! My plan is to be competitive at more than just the local level, and while I have a...

    Denys, is your stock the regular wood laminate or the upgraded walnut? I just ordered the black/black, but I like the way some of the laminate wood stocks look too.

    I spoke with Ray today. I'll be getting one of their stocks for the rifle. He's definitely a knowledgeable guy. I've been looking around on accurateshooter.com, and I saw Denys over there too. I Came across your Gun Digest article on F-Class and saw the pictures of your rifle. Really nice.

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

    Right. I was just saying I didn't feel overly compelled to go with Krieger or Bartlien only because they're cut-rifled, and was willing to look at Broughton, even though it is button-rifled. However, it now looks like Broughton is not available, and I can't find a Krieger at 31" with 11tw in...

    Thanks for the input. I'll look at the barrel selection again. I'm not completely sold on the virtues of cut-rifled, but I'm not looking to have that debate in this thread. I have always had good luck with Kreiger and Bartlien, so maybe I should just stick with them. Also had luck with...

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

    I'm getting into F-T/R, and I want to get a dedicated rifle built. I've had other customs built before, but never a dedicated F-Class rifle. I've been asking around and talking to some of the shooters at the matches on Sundays for their input. I understand that weight is a big factor in...
