    Re: Press question - which Forster or Redding Redding Ultra-Mag if you form cases, load large capacity magnums or just want to own the best single-stage ever made. Instead of a turret press, look at the Dillon 550B Dillon is a great tool, comes with a very capable powder measure and makes...

    Rifle Scopes Scope recommendation help for a 20" GAP AR-10.

    Re: Scope recommendation help for a 20" GAP AR-10. Sorry, but any GAP AR-10 rifle, unless it has a pencil-thin turned barrel is going to run almost 18 pounds with a 20rd loaded magazine, Magpul sniper stock, and a 50 or 56mm NXS variable scope. I own a GAP 10(T) with 22" & 18" uppers. The...

    Rifle Scopes Scope recommendation help for a 20" GAP AR-10.

    Re: Scope recommendation help for a 20" GAP AR-10. You have the wrong rifle to shoot much beyond 800 yds. Got the MagPul sniper stock? The one that weighs about 3lbs? Then your rifle is already very heavy. Add that NXS scope plus the 6 screw Badger Ord rings and you're looking at close to...

    best trigger for tactical matches???

    Re: best trigger for tactical matches??? Best trigger for tactical matches is the Sako TRG in the detachable mount for 22/42 models. Nice to have that inside the guard safety lever and all the field adjustment potential. Then there is the lock on the firing pin. Do any of the Rem 700...

    Rem700 action in AICS 2.0

    Re: Rem700 action in AICS 2.0 I purchased a hardly used AI stock from a guy here four years ago. This stock would not seat the magazine correctly, so ctgs would not feed. My examination and pix sent to the seller showed a .125" wide gap BEHIND the recoil lug, The action screws when...

    Can I shoot 208-gr AMax in a 5R or TRG-22?

    Re: Can I shoot 208-gr AMax in a 5R or TRG-22? Only need 1:10 twist for the very heavy .308 bullets. You should be fine, but there's that matter of bullet seating to magazine length and VLD bullets ogive position... Might find bullet jump is too much when loading to mag-length. Might also...

    Gunsmithing Blue Printing An Action

    Re: Blue Printing An Action The chamber is the MOST OVERLOOKED aspect of custom rifles on this and other "sniping" boards. Guys will spend $4K for a custom build with all the bells & whistles, but not supply reamer or pay for a new one to be returned with the rifle. Same guys will own...

    What to do when brass is too short after firing?

    Re: What to do when brass is too short after firing? As was said, ditch the Federal brass. Winchester is about the finest reasonably priced production brass. I buy Lapua, or Winchester for commercial; or Lake City for mil-spec. Start with some virgin brass. Get or borrow an RCBS Precision...
