    Anyone get to shoot the Kelbly black bear action yet?

    Is there a list we can get on or put down a deposit?

    Rifle Scopes New scope and adverse effects on groups?

    Hi guys, just an update. Definitely not a scope issue. Swapped on multiple scopes and had the same inconsistent results. Need to re-examine my reloading practices and shoot through a chrono to see what the sd is on the load in question. I was basing my accuracy expectations on a few fluke 5 shot...

    It's worth a shot. Just been a while since the work was done. I have been dealing with it, I think it shoots great. Just tired of hearing "nice gun but whys your muzzle brake crooked?" at the range. I don't really know what can be done at this point besides a complete redo.

    You're right. Bartlein was where I had the work done. I delivered the rifle myself and got to see the facility and got a few t shirts out of the trip. It was a cool experience to be able to do that and the staff was very friendly. I mean nothing against Bartlein I think they make some great stuff.

    Yeah it was the same one. Last time I ever do the whole works there again. Kind of turned off from even getting barrels from them after this.

    This is a summary of my experience with a barrel manufacturer doing the chambering and other work on my rifle. This does not reflect all barrel makers but is just my experience. I don't want to say any names as I still believe their barrels are outstanding. A few years ago, I had my FN SPR...

    Rifle Scopes New scope and adverse effects on groups?

    Thank you Dave. I am currently loading up the same load that I know the rifle loves with 3 different stages of sizing. I did full length resize for the first time on this range trip so I may have messed that up. To see if that was the issue I am loading identical loads with the shoulder bumped...

    Rifle Scopes New scope and adverse effects on groups?

    Come to think of it, something strange happened with this. I originally had it set somewhere between 100 and 150 yards because that is what was clear to me. As the day went on I found it was getting blurry on the adjustment I had at the beginning of the day. I turned the knob to 100 because...

    Rifle Scopes New scope and adverse effects on groups?

    Agreed, I have a hard time believing my new razor is causing issues. Just had a crap day.

    Rifle Scopes New scope and adverse effects on groups?

    I use a body die and do my neck sizing separately with a neck die. Used the same tension as last time. I'm starting to think I might have had excessive head space since I sized by bolt feel. Had to bump shoulder 4 thou back to get the bolt to close without resistance instead of the recommended...

    Rifle Scopes New scope and adverse effects on groups?

    It was very windy. I'm going to leave it as it was probably just a bad day of shooting. Had ar's to the left and right of me with muzzle brakes doing mag dumps and it was cold and damp. Have brand new brass coming in this week. Going to do it all over again next weekend and see what happens...

    Rifle Scopes New scope and adverse effects on groups?

    Wanted to see if anyone else experienced this. I install a new scope on my rifle. I have my favorite hand loads ready to go for the range. These 2 loads on the previous trip to the range a week ago with my old scope shot very well out of this rifle. One shot in the high .2's while the other...

    Rifle Scopes Turret tolerances

    Was wondering if there was any info on turret adjustment tolerances each of the "tier 1" scopes must conform to before leaving the factory. For example, brand x model y must be within .1 mil every 10 mils. Just bought a gen 2 razor the other day and am pretty excited coming from using a gen 1...
