    Is this company reliable? They have something for a good price that I want. No reason to suspect them,I just never ordered from them before.

    Can You Overtighten Scope Ring Screws at The Base?

    Most times overtightening stuff is the problem,it seldom needs to be as tight as guys think,just enough. I broke a few screws till I adjusted MY torque

    How Heavy is Too Heavy, Rifle Weight

    I would gladly hump the semi auto pig out deer hunting,probably not so great at snap shooting,but a real winner in a tree stand on a rest ! Watch the belt length in NY! I can’t afford $18,000.00 ( used ,good condition)though.

    Add length of pull to my BMR

    The mfg. makes some for another model that any wing ding could make work,I could not get one to try so I cut a grey excercise pad up and made one,one day I’ll get the Bergaras version.

    Lightest accurate bolt action?

    I’ve got the BMR steel( another guy got there earlier) but not really a missed thing,still shoots crazy accurate ,no operational problems and magazines that work great ,drop out when you want and stay in when you want ,match chamber,andA good trigger unless you want a better ,any rem 700 trigger.

    Bergara BMR Barrel detached?

    I see it was a BMR? WOW! That’s unheard of ,til now! No that is not right ,you need an action wrench ,action vise and headspace gauges to come with it ,for the same price ,that might be worth it! But it really should be assembled for you!

    What part of the rifle do you level when mounting a Scope - does it matter?

    👍 agreed PMI,and that’s a title I respect,I am not a machinist nor am I a real died in the wool gunsmith,I have done the work and I do all my own work and I would know if my work is faulty( I’ve had no complaints I just enjoy doing my best )and I know where I stop at and go to a gunsmith I know...

    What part of the rifle do you level when mounting a Scope - does it matter?

    I don’t know,it works for me,I don’t use an electron microscope to check the finish or threads either,a bubble doesn’t lie ,if it’s in the center of the capsule it’s telling you where gravity is pulling,it’s as accurate as any level I used for building houses.if I put it on a level shelve with...

    What part of the rifle do you level when mounting a Scope - does it matter?

    Here’s how I do it ,take action and barrel out of the stock mount them in the stock with copper or lead sheets to protect the blueing ,the scope rail mounted on the action using a small level (I got two little square ones out of picture hanging kits at dollar general) I level it in the vise ,the...

    If the manufacturer was listening, what realistic thing would you change about your favorite optic?

    Id ask Vortex to make their adj. clicks audible AND so you could feel them click too.

    Who Manufactures the Bergara Premium Actions

    Why would you want to ditch a Bergara for loose stock screws and/or loose scope base/ rail? as I stated anwering that post you referred us to ,that is basically an assemblers/ owners realm cured with torque and thread lock,( normal maintenance) A ”terrible” scope rail base is an opinion , based...

    Howa 1500 vs bergara HMR

    Do the screws loosen?( loctite?) otherwise, do the screws strip? ( that WOULD be mfg. fault ) but mine were very good grade screws,otherwise why is it a “ terrible “ base design ? Stock bolts coming loose ? Again torque and a thread lock this ,again, the assemblers/ owners responsibility,,isn’t...

    M40A2 - What was it?

    It was probably a military like title applied to a tactical like ,sniper like rifle to attract customers who wanted the closest thing to a Marine Corps.sniper rifle they could afford ,for the tacticool factor and to impress folks who also did not know the fine points of I’D ing the real...

    M40 - What Marine is in this photo?

    The most accurate story is,usually,the story closest in time to the event or picture.Time,has a way of changing things in a mind,that’s why we have after action reports.They may not always be totally on the money either ,maybe on purpose,maybe because of action chaos , but still the freshest...
