    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ATACR Accuracy Concern

    It's like winning the lottery, but in a crappy way.

    Finally!! (warning new to me rifle)

    The downside is: It needs a scope, you should get one. :) Love the story, I have 4 kids too. Congrats, your neighbor's a great friend.

    What am I doing wrong with this Lee Factory Crimp Die?

    The Lee FCD is a good tool to have. Used mine to circumsize my son, not sure if that's considered cannelured or not but worked great.

    What am I doing wrong with this Lee Factory Crimp Die?

    I love a happy ending, glad it worked out. That's what we're here for, you shameful ignorant bastard. :) *Joke* That manual, along with lots of others are signs of our times. They should rewrite that part of the instructions to read: "If you're stupid, clumsy or otherwise do not fully...

    What am I doing wrong with this Lee Factory Crimp Die?

    Agreed, the part about only for cannelured bullets is bullshit. You can damage uncannelured bullets if you crimp them very far, though.

    What am I doing wrong with this Lee Factory Crimp Die?

    Ok, forgive me: Do you have it in the press upside down? Don 't see how that could be and you not know it, but it's a weird world. So, yours is in the press like this: And if you run the ram all the way up, and the shell holder contacts the inner sleeve then you run it in some more: Do you...

    Stock choice for precision AR. Not the PRS.

    I had the E-Mod for a couple years on my P-308 and didn't care for it. The zig-zag seam up against your cheek grabs and pulls beard hair which for me was an issue. The rail on the POF is also higher than other AR's so you will need a riser of some kind which other than a stock pack are not...

    Don't be an optics snob....

    Rush, rock it out brother! When I bought my POF the only scope I had was a Leapers UTG off my son's 22. I had to wait a while to buy a good scope but didn't want to wait to shoot the rifle. I mounted the Leapers (in a mount that cost more than the scope no less) and it zero'd just fine and I...

    New Gal Here From SoCal - Thinking About a 280 AI Custom Mountain Rifle

    Welcome Rachel! The 280AI isn't as popular probably because there isn't much factory ammo available for it and the Nosler ammo is expensive. You didn't mention whether you reload or not, which would be a huge boon to success with the 280AI with Nosler providing brass so you don't have to...

    Rifle Scopes Scope market inside scoop...

    Because then it wouldn't be 100% USA, right? I love my German scopes, but there is no need for another American company to chase the Germans and play their game, they have it covered. Nathan, please keep going with what you're doing. I'm very excited to see how the new materials work out, and...

    Reloading press induced runout?

    I don't know anything about the Redding T7, so no help there. On the other hand, for about the same money you could buy a Forster Co-Ax and gain the same ability to leave all your dies set up without having to worry about slop, and you can run an unlimited number of dies instead of being stuck...

    Suppressors Diamondback Ar15 NOT A GOOD SUPPRESSOR HOST

    Cheshier2, I think others have missed that in doing a safety check of the threads and alignment you would have already voided the warranty by removing the FH and under that premise DB would still have refused to fix the problem even if you had found it before the baffle strike. That's the real...

    45.70 ?

    H322. When I had a Marlin I was shooting Beartooth 350 grain Piledriver Lights at 1900 FPS from an 18.5" barrel. It whacked the hell out of pigs, and my shoulder/cheek too!

    260 Rem Load Worries

    That's because the 140 in question is a Nosler. Long bearing surface = more pressure. The 142 SMK although heavier has a shorter bearing surface. The data was correct at the time they tested and with the lot of powder they had at those times. All things are variable and bullet shape affects...

    Well roger that, hombre. That is dirtbag. Thanks for the heads up.

    Good enough for me. What market $$ will these scopes be competing in? Top end, mid-level?

    So it's not from Romania? I heard the best scopes in the world come from there, bar none. ;)
