Starting with a (almost) blank slate
As long as the scope isn't touching, is there such a thing as it being too low? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- StogieC

Starting with a (almost) blank slate
Starting with a (almost) blank slate The Calvin Elite trigger, when sold through a dealer, is not fully factory adjusted to weight. It was actually breaking at about 6oz out of the box. A few turns of the trigger weight screw and I now have it set to a very crisp 1lb. Timney says that 8oz...- StogieC

Starting with a (almost) blank slate
It's not going to be my primary hunting rifle but I do want to have it as a backup option. I have a Timney Calvin Elite trigger also on order. That trigger may be a little light for hunting use at 10oz, but it will work if my primary deer gun goes down for some reason.- StogieC

Starting with a (almost) blank slate
Got the scope base on with surprising zero effort, a Seekins SRS rail mounted up front, and the Nightforce NXS 5.5-22 x 56 has arrived; but my scope rings from the old box of gun goodies were too high, so new rings are on order. Also somewhere on a UPS truck is an Atlas bipod and a friend is...- StogieC

Rifle Scopes Scope bases, to bed or not to bed?
The last time I had to ask myself whether or not to bed (insert noun), I was a young single man. Resigned to the fact that factory rifle actions are not usually micrometer true, I sat down in front of my new .308 Remington 700P with the new scope base rail, thin feeler gauges, some paper...- StogieC

Starting with a (almost) blank slate
So far I have a Larue 20MOA base and an Atlas bipod on order for my new .308 w/ 26" bbl Rem 700 P. I've yet to decide on much of anything else other than a bolt knob upgrade and bbl threading. Leaning toward Short Action Customs for that work. My gun club range has positions out to...- StogieC

Crusty FNG from Central Florida
I've been watching this forum for a long time now and after my latest acquisition, my friend bttbbob said something to the effect that I would be a fool not to sign up here. As for me... I'm an Army Infantry Vet., occasional blogger at All Nine Yards | Hold nothing back , sometimes firearm...- StogieC
