    Rifle Scopes The right scope

    Re: The right scope Everything gets easier with practice. Look at it this way; you're looking to shoot 1300 yards. You're not going to be using "1 inch at 100 yards" or "1 cm at 100 meters" to help you get hits; you're going to be looking at a piece of paper or a computer program to tell...

    30-06 Question

    Re: 30-06 Question Yep. Improper ammo in a Garand can cause bent op-rods due to excessive port pressure. Slam fires are also a possibility if the primers are not hard enough. Bolt guns do not have those limitations.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why I will never buy another kimber

    Re: Why I will never buy another kimber Who cares about a plastic mainspring housing? The cross-pin holds all of the spring force; the housing is only there to guide the spring. It's not like it's a part that will break or cause issues, so why bash them on the internet just because you...

    Gunsmithing What needs done. 30-06 to 300RUM

    Re: What needs done. 30-06 to 300RUM You'll also need to do some mill work on the receiver. The last time I tried to feed a 300 RUM through a 700, one that was originally chambered in 7 Rem, it wouldn't even fit through the feed lips.

    Rifle Scopes USO MOA reticles

    Re: USO MOA reticles The CMG is decent, since it has larger hashmarks at the 5s and 10s and is un-numbered. However, I really wish the hashmarks would go all the way to the heavy lines. It doesn't clutter up the view in actual use, and would allow for accurate hold-unders if you had a lot...

    Gunsmithing AR-15 burst firing? Need Advice!

    Re: AR-15 burst firing? Need Advice! From the sound of the post, it's not a parts kit build, just a complete upper and lower purchased separately. What ammo were you shooting?

    Rifle Scopes how tight do you make your scope rings?

    Re: how tight do you make your scope rings? Using a basic power screw formula, and given a reasonable estimate of the friction coefficients involved, 20 in-lb will produce somewhere around 2300 lb of clamping force on a 6 screw ring. That is like parking two 1989 Honda CR-Xs on top of your...

    Rifle Scopes Help, need USO SN-4 1.5-6x Crash Course!

    Re: Help, need USO SN-4 1.5-6x Crash Course! 1. The markings on the turret are there to tell you what revolution you're on. If your zero falls on line 2, you can tell if you're adjusted right or left based on what numbers are visible. 2. No, the scope arrives centered already. You'd be...

    Rifle Scopes How does the USO EREK knob work… is it Magic?

    Re: How does the USO EREK knob work… is it Magic? I think when you go with the larger tube diameters, the EREK won't always be able to adjust for zero with the knob bottomed out. I had one on a 30mm tube and it worked fine. A friend's 35mm scope doesn't have enough adjustment in the screw...

    Rifle Scopes Theoretically possible to over-tighten rings?

    Re: Theoretically possible to over-tighten rings? Although they don't mention it in the installation instructions, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to torque the bottom screws first, then do the top ones. The bottom screws secure the ring halves to the base, and do not always contribute...

    Rifle Scopes moa conversion back to inches question

    Re: moa conversion back to inches question No. None of those values are correct. Besides that, Leupold is almost certainly using inch-per-hundred-yards, not true MOA, so the calculation would be: 1.48"/100yd*300yd = 4.4" 3.38"/100yd*400yd = 13.5" 5.75"/100yd*500yd = 28.8"

    Rifle Scopes Please, for the love of God, stop...

    Re: Please, for the love of God, stop... What's wrong with a 3x9 scope? Also, while people are bringing it up, reticule is a perfectly legitimate variant of reticle, and is recognized by the dictionary as such.

    Rifle Scopes Will this work?

    Re: Will this work? You didn't read his post. Yes Pete, that would work. You'd still need your drop data in MOA, but if you used 30 clicks as in your example, you'd have made the distance between each dot equal 7.5 MOA. That will end up happening at slightly below half of the correct...

    Modern iron sighted bolt gun?

    Re: Modern iron sighted bolt gun? Match sights hold their zero when removed and re-installed, so you could always carry with the sights removed, then install them when you plan on shooting. Aside from doing that, I'm not sure you'll find what you're looking for outside of the realm of...
