    What 300WM 190 SMK load for Rem 5-R?

    Re: What 300WM 190 SMK load for Rem 5-R? I shot 190 SMK's for a while. I used IMR4350 but then switched to RL22. It was so long ago that I can't remember what the load was. I moved from the 190 SMK to the 200 SMK and used 70 grains of RL22. Last year I jumped on the wagon and moved to the...

    Balance beam scale, which is best

    Re: Balance beam scale, which is best I used a RCBS 505 scale for many years and was very happy with it. I bought a used RCBS 10-10 scale a few years ago and like it a little better. I still kept my 505 though. I have my table set up so I throw my charge from my RCBS Uniflow powder measure...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 3.5-10 M3 Turret questions

    Re: Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 3.5-10 M3 Turret questions I forgot to add that once you get your DOPE for your load and your rifle, you can contact Leupold, they will make a custom BDC matching your DOPE for $59. You could use any load combination that shot best through your rifle. You would still...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 3.5-10 M3 Turret questions

    Re: Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 3.5-10 M3 Turret questions As has been stated your BDC is intended for rapid engagement over varying distances on man sized targets. How big of target are you attempting to hit and at what range? The 1 MOA adjustments aren't as limiting once you actually start...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce inspection stickers.

    Re: Nightforce inspection stickers. I wasn't getting on your case for not searching. I only remembered it because I commented on in that thread too. I just had to search my own posts to find it. I have always thought it was funny that people leave the inspection stickers on...as if it...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce inspection stickers.

    Re: Nightforce inspection stickers. The question gets asked and the sticker gets mocked fairly often. Here is a link to one of those discussions. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...854#Post2592854 Removing the sticker constitutes a violation of the Federal Consumer Protection Act...

    M24

    Re: M24 I really like the M24, in fact I have one issued to me. Its a great production rifle, however, Remington has been selling them to the public for quite some time now. There are currently 4 listed on Gunbroker. You can find a similar number of them there on any given day. You can...

    Gunsmithing What bottom metal is my stock inletted for?

    Re: What bottom metal is my stock inletted for? I appreciate the information. The relief cuts don't seem as though they are needed. The bottom metal doesn't sit far enough down that it would catch the stock when opened. I was issued a McMillan M86 a few years back. I built this rifle to...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MK4 LR 6.5-20 x 50 MOA/MOA

    Re: Leupold MK4 LR 6.5-20 x 50 MOA/MOA I spoke with a Leupold tech last week. They are going to produce "finely tuned washers" that will work as a zero stop for M1 & M5 turrets. They should be available in 3-4 months. He said you could simply make some using regular washers. You stack...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce, hard to see?

    Re: Nightforce, hard to see? Focus on the crosshairs, not the target... But the above is good advise too. Both your target and reticle should be in focus and on the same focal plane, but you should concentrate on the reticle not your target.

    Gunsmithing What bottom metal is my stock inletted for?

    Re: What bottom metal is my stock inletted for? McMillan is a stand up company. I shot a pm off to Dick Davis. I am not worried about it, I am more curious. I have been thinking of changing bottom metal anyway and so I thought if I could find the bottom metal it was inletted for that...

    Gunsmithing What bottom metal is my stock inletted for?

    I ordered a McM McHale stock from McMillan a couple of years ago. The photo below has a discription of the stock as taken from both my invoice and the stock itself. I asked that the stock be inletted for a Remington 700 BDL floorplate. While my bottom metal fits, and is functional, the inlet...

    Re: Eberlestock Phantom or Gunslinger II? I just bought a "halftrack" which as mentioned is the pack portion of the G3, I added a side scabbard, so I will see how that works out. I still would have preferred a GSII, but I got a rockin deal on the halftrack. Eberlestock makes the best packs...

    Eberlestock Phantom or Gunslinger II?

    Re: Eberlestock Phantom or Gunslinger II? I bought the G4 operator last year. It is easily the most well made pack I have ever owned. It is very well thought out and designed. I was really amazed at the attention to detail. It will have more than enough room for you. It has compression...
