    Report on the SKB 50 Caliber case 2SKB-6019

    My observation is: that the SKB cases have a durable shell, but that it is more flexible than the Pelican/Starlight/Storm thicker plastic. Thus, as the case dimensions increase, there is more flex making the case more susceptible to misalignment with the metal rim. Maybe the 50 cal case is...

    Report on the SKB 50 Caliber case 2SKB-6019

    I saw this advertised in FCSA magazie High Power, and having just gotten rid of my Pelican 1770 for being a bit unwieldy, I got this one from Field Supply. It arrived today in just a cardboard outer box and it was obviously damaged in transit. The ends are bent and don't line up to close on...

    Gunsmithing Options for Reducing Weight

    I built a 300 RUM with a 32" Pacnor heavy barrel and it turned out too heavy too. Cross Canyon Arms West Haven Utah fluted it with deep flutes and cut the weight by about 2#. The Master gunsmith there Brad Stair says accuracy almost always increases after fluting. I thunk Varmint Al has a...

    2707 Yard 1.54mi shot!

    Reality Check I'm amazed by this feat and super impressed with the documentation and reporting. And it makes me wonder if I can believe some of these reports coming back from overseas of guys making hits on targets at 2500+ yards with 338LM in combat situations. Here you have a guy with...

    Suppressors SWR Specwar 7.62 Vs. ThunderBeast 30p-1 (Input Wanted)

    Does anyone have a Specwar 762 that they're using on a 300 RUM and can you comment on sound reduction

    Suppressors SWR Specwar 7.62 Vs. ThunderBeast 30p-1 (Input Wanted)

    will the Specwar REALLY handle ULTRA MAG? I called AAC about this re: titan and they said 300WM was the upper limit. Case volume 89 grains water. Since 300 RUM is 110 grains they said I need a 338 can. IIRC, thunderbeast also said I need the 338 can for Ultra Mag. That's why I have...

    Best ballistic app for iPhone???

    I was using Ballistic AE but had trouble when toggling between guns and it not saving my most recent weather conditions. Screwed up a lot of shots because of that an dthe wind function. I just got Shooter for my Android (where it's AWESOME) and iPad, (where it lacks a few of the android...

    Gun case help

    Pelican and Storm both have their redeeming features. As for the 1770 - I just traded one locally today. It DOES have 54" interior so if you have a 32 inch barrel like my 300 RUM it will fit BUT - This case with a 17# rifle WITHOUT bipod will weigh in at 53 pounds. So you will have this...

    Problems with stability of Swarovski ATX 95mm scope

    What does the fluid head do that helps with stability?

    Rifle Scopes Getting crosshairs aligned in rings

    the plumb bob should be as far away as you can put it and still see it. I use paracord at about 40 yards. I have found that when I do it closer, it's not perfect when I check it on a farther plumb. Make sure the background allows you to see the paracord or whatever you use clearly. I...

    Rifle Scopes Dumb question about Nightforce reticle?

    Well, I just checked and I can't figure out why I thought that or how I was wrong about it, but I was. It is true that the higher magnification NXS and BR scopes range at 22x not their highest power. SEE: http://nightforceoptics.com/pdf/ReticleManual.pdf

    Rifle Scopes ATACR or NXS

    I run 2 NXS with 56mm and an ATACAR with 56mm. All have the MOAR reticle which ranges on high power - bonus. I always get 56mm because of exit pupil. If you take off the sunshade, the 56 might not seem so gargantuan. I got the ATACR only because I got a DTA HTI in 375 and I wanted the...

    Rifle Scopes Dumb question about Nightforce reticle?

    Those scopes range at half power. There's a dot on the magnification ring to indicate where 11.5 power is. Some of the new ones (eg C432 MOAR) range at full power.

    Problems with stability of Swarovski ATX 95mm scope

    I previously had a Zeiss 85 mm (sold) and Swaro ATS 80 mm scope (sold) and am now using an ATX 95mm which I got after Shot Show this year. I LOVE the scope. BUT, ever since I got it I have had problems stablizing it. With the ATS, I could use a Manfrotto 190 series tripod with vertical...

    Question: Atlas Bipod any good for .50 BMG?

    Wowza, I checked out that Elite Iron. I think I had seen it before but didnt' pay much attention. If the LRA doesn't perform on my hunting trip next week, I might have to look closer at the Revolution. But I agree a $450 bipod is one thing, a bipod that STARTS AT $695 is quite another

    What Angle Cosine Indicator mount for a DTA HTI?

    Correct, the curve won't clear the chassis the latter is too fat much fatter than a 700 action. Don't know if gen 1 or gen 2 I'll check when I get home, does gen 2 stick out further from the rail?
