    Rifle Scopes Osprey optics?

    Re: Osprey optics? I had bought an osprey at the Reno show. Piece of crap. Couldn't hold zero and zero wasn't anywhere close to middle of knob travel. Having a warranty is one thing. Getting the distributor to honor the warranty is what really matters. The west coast dealer I bought mine...

    Re: 178 Amax .308 @ mag length I build my cartridges for mag length at 2.830" COAL. That makes for approx 0.115" jump in my factory barrel.

    Gunsmithing Bedding Rem 700 5R rifle

    Re: Bedding Rem 700 5R Yes I did the camo myself. You can read about it at this URL. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...903#Post1284903 As for action screws, he's right about the stress thing. In a non-bedded stock, the action gets torqued or stressed when the screws are tightened...

    Muzzle brakes on .308 any regrets?

    Re: Muzzle brakes on .308 any regrets? I cannot believe how many festering vah-jay-jays are here. Y'all need to roll with it or turn in your man card.

    Gunsmithing Bedding Rem 700 5R rifle

    Re: Bedding Rem 700 5R I found that the knife kinda smeared Devcon on the action a little. I'm guessing that when using WD40 you want to do it early while stuff is still soft.

    Re: 178 Amax .308 @ mag length OCW = optimal charge weight http://optimalchargeweight.embarqspace.com/ I've done well with the old 155 Palma using 45.8-46.0 gr RL-15 in Federal case. 2.800 COAL. Approx 2850 fps. Good to 1000 yds

    Range Report 308 Win, AMax 178, RL-15

    Conducted my first test of the Hornady AMax 178 for .308 today. I'm very happy with the results. I think I found two accuracy nodes; one around 2630-2640fps and another at 2712 fps. Both <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #0000BF">under 1/2 MOA</span></span>. I bet if I had a...

    Gunsmithing Bedding Rem 700 5R rifle

    This is my first attempt at bedding a rifle. If it weren't for this recession, I would have paid someone to do it. That plus the excellent write-ups found on this forum gave me the impetus to give it a go. Listed below are some links to other threads on the Hide that I found particularly...

    178 Amax .308 @ mag length

    I'm wondering about how the .308 178 Amax performs out to 1000 yds when loaded to between 2.820 to 2.850"? My Remington 700 mag measures 2.850" ID. I've read elsewhere here that the Amax likes to be loaded long. What velocity are you using?
