    Fake Atlas bipod?

    If you'd supply a link to that licensed product, I'd appreciate it. Like to try one. I've looked for it and have yet to identify the licensed product. Should be the PTS Atlas V7 but I can't find it anywhere.

    Fake Atlas bipod?

    No judgement. I've just completely disassembled one and there's not much to it. The index plates, brass bearing washers and bearing screw all come apart very easily. The index tab is completely reversible and it would take very little effort to modify with a dremel (picture if you can post...

    Fake Atlas bipod?

    You were out $60 because it doesn't tilt and you had to take a dremel to knock off a burr. By they way, it tilts a little. I bet you still use it. Mine was worth every penny of the $49 Paypal sent with my index finger. I got exactly what I paid for. As far as I know, it's the company that...

    Fake Atlas bipod?

    It actually copies an earlier version of the Atlas, the design that is licensed by Accu-Shot to be produced in China. Is a knock-off of the licensed unit. *First Look* Atlas Bipod Version 8 It's not a piece of junk and functions very well. It is by no means an Atlas, but it's not easy to...

    Need some help reloading .308

    Machine gun brass gets stretched at the head laterally because of oversized chambers. That and the combination of getting yanked out very quickly can lead to a very thin web even after just being fired once. Depends on how bad the headspace was on the machine gun. In any case, no amount of...

    Kestrel, valuable tool or waste of money?

    Hmmm. Looks like the non-metric version is badged under Brunton. Alternatives: Analog Altimeters

    Kestrel, valuable tool or waste of money?

    I have a Kestrel but I really prefer my mechanical barometer and a small thermometer. I have an older Silva that works great. Silva still makes a mechanical unit. After that, I run DA charts. No batteries. The wind function I find pretty useless. Experience is a better solution for wind...

    How to spot a FAKE Atlas Bi-pod

    The new ones coming out of China are not like the fake one pictured. Wow. If Atlas has a license with a Chinese company, it may be too late. I feel bad because there's less slop in the index plate than my real one. Atlas should do something now because it'll be much harder to tell the...

    Leveling a bubble level...

    Of course, using a plumb line to level your scope assumes your reticle is true to the dials. What sucks is when your reticle is canted to the dials, you're not really level. If you're a dial turner, you'll want to make sure your reticle is true to the dials. On most high end scopes this won't...

    Yeti coolers - who has 'em?

    Yeti's are great coolers and so are Grizzly coolers. Next step down are Engels and then another step down are Pelicans. Just my personal opinion. I own a couple Yeti's and they work great. They are damn expensive but if they were cheap to make, the Chinese would already have the equivalent...

    Stippled PMAG

    And here I thought breathing nylon resin fumes was a waste of time. Although, silicone is not nearly as toxic.

    What is the most Historically Significant Cartridge?

    Because John Browning scaled up the 30-06 to create the 50BMG. So the design itself is significant because the 50BMG is uber significant. That's my opinion.

    Tired of going in circles trying to find an accuracy node

    A decent seating die is the start. You can get a lucky group anytime. You are not going to get consistent concentricity without a fully supported seating die. David Tubb has an excellent video on DVD called High Power Rifle Reloading which was produced by Sierra. That video has 90% of the...

    Tired of going in circles trying to find an accuracy node

    I tried to post some information but it appears that due to my low post count, it needs to be approved by a moderator. It's great to be a newbie again! (since 2006)

    Tired of going in circles trying to find an accuracy node

    The most important die is the seater. If your seater die does not completely support the case, your bullet will not be straight in the neck. Instead, it'll have a little cant or tilt to it. I would suggest you get a decent bullet seating die like this one: Forster Bench Rest Seater Die...

    Tired of going in circles trying to find an accuracy node

    The most important part of your reloading isn't listed and that's the dies. It's tough to approach decent factory loads with crap dies. So what dies are you using?

    Best Gore-Tex Jacket ?

    It's a cycle. Small company gets name is bought by big company. Owner stays 2 years with 5 year no compete. After 5 years, former owner either starts new company or retires. I still miss the original Moonstone Mountaineering.
