    Rifle Scopes Vortex or Falcon

    Re: Vortex or Falcon I just noticed that Falcon now has a limited lifetime warranty. IF SWFA is willing to provide a new scope to the original purchaser (lifetime) - then I might go Falcon. I'm not sure if Falcon will still be around 5 - 10 years from now, but it does eliminate some of the...

    Rifle Scopes NF & S&B clarity interesting experience

    Re: NF & S&B clarity interesting experience Chill out - I was paying you a compliment. Don't read more into it than what was intended (i.e. experts may be better off handpicking their equipment). Regards!

    Rifle Scopes NF & S&B clarity interesting experience

    Re: NF & S&B clarity interesting experience This is an interesting thread. It says a lot about the experience and expertise of the people that frequent the site. My $.02: If an optic connoisseur then hand select the item and pay any premium. Either that, or find an online dealer with...

    Breaking In a Trigger?

    Re: Breaking In a Trigger? I have the same trigger in a LWRCI M6A3 DMR. I can induce creep depending on the technique I use. If I use the tip of my finger, the trigger breaks cleanly. If I use the second pad of my index finger, I can overpower the trigger slowly, producing creep. I can...

    DPMS real accuracy ?

    Re: DPMS real accuracy ? The single biggest reason for shooting badly with a "tricked-out" AR10 is called "lock-time. It takes almost twice as long for an AR10 to ignite the round as compared to a bolt action. Yes - the AR10 shoots almost instantly, but if you flinch, or have other nasty...

    TRG 22 Brass Ejection

    Re: TRG 22 Brass Ejection - update Update: I took the ejector apart and cleaned it. I didn't see any issues. I put it back together with no improvement. I started to play around with the spent cases; making sure there were no abnormalities in the brass. I took a hammer and gave a quick...

    TRG 22 Brass Ejection

    Re: TRG 22 Brass Ejection Well - it looks like I'm not unique. I will remove the ejector and spring anyway. Maybe I can do a little something to get a bit more "zing" out of it. I suppose a well designed sniper rifle shouldn't fling brass(concealment), but smacking the bolt back isn't...

    TRG 22 Brass Ejection

    Brass ejection is rather anemic in my rifle. I have had quite a few occurrences where the brass does not make it out of the action (once every 15 or 20 rounds approximately). I use several brands of brass (no Lapua) and it occurs with all of them. I've had the extractor out and the ejector...

    hmmm..... odd grouping

    Re: hmmm..... odd grouping I would spring for a box or two of commercially made match ammunition. If you continue to get groups as posted, I would let someone else see what they can do with the rifle. If the same results - I would check your scope, mount, bedding, and the rifle's general...

    powder suggestions for 223

    Re: powder suggestions for 223 Try A2520. I like it more than A2230 for 68gr+ bullets. I've never been very impressed with A2230, but A2520 is a very versatile powder capable of excellent accuracy.

    Rifle Scopes Another freaking pst question. Shoot me!!!!

    Re: Another freaking pst question. Shoot me!!!! I had one complaint about NF; it would be the touchy ocular/parallax "adjustment dance" that a lot of people seem to go through. Either something is wrong with your scope, or you didn't adjust it properly. Do not "sort of" follow the set-up...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex SPARC vs. Burris Fast-fire II

    Re: Vortex SPARC vs. Burris Fast-fire II Take a look at the Bushnell TRS-25. A very capable red dot that can be had for less than $70 on sale. Will hold up on a 12 gage, 3 MOA Dot, waterproof to 6-10 feet (?), and will run continuously for 1500 hours on setting 6 of 11 (bright enough for...

    ? for you trg guys.

    Re: ? for you trg guys. If I had one complaint about the TRG, it's the touchy safety. Sometimes it can just be difficult to engage. One trick is opening the action; then engaging the safety as far as it will go. When the action is closed the safety will be engaged. You can lift the bolt...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA Super Sniper 5-20X50HD

    Re: SWFA Super Sniper 5-20X50HD I would like a "tad thinner" at the crosshair and zero-stop. Of course - popularity will be price dependent. I would expect a selling price of $999-$1,100 (based on the 10xHD).

    accuracy international chassis benefits??

    Re: accuracy international chassis benefits?? Thanks for the info. I didn't realize the level of work (and expense) associated with putting a Templar action into an AI chassis. I went through the GA options list adding up what I wanted, but from what you describe, there is probably more to...

    accuracy international chassis benefits??

    Re: accuracy international chassis benefits?? Thanks - can one assume that an AI action is machined to fit the AI chassis better than typical Remington - and therefore, bedding is unneeded? GA Precision offers the Templar action, which is probably better machined than Remington too. Do you...

    accuracy international chassis benefits??

    Re: accuracy international chassis benefits?? When someone beds an AI Chassis, what are they bedding - the chassis to the action or the skins to the chassis? Based on the pictures I can't fathom where glass bedding would make an improvement.

    Used Savage FP10 value?

    Re: Used Savage FP10 value? Thanks!!! I'm generally pretty good about pricing firearms, but this time around I had too much "blood, sweat, and tears" invested to be objective about it. I've now returned to reality.
