    Accuracy International Butt Spacer Kit

    Take one of your spare screws to Home Depot, Lowes or Ace. It's a common size (M5 maybe?). Whatever length is in your rifle, just buy pairs and +0.5" increments to cover the # of spacers you own.

    And here she is!

    First bolt gun was a TRG22 and fell in love with the TRG bipod. Have an LRA today and it's the closest in feel to the TRG bipod vs a Harris or Atlas. It's also qay lighter and can be used on any other rifle with pic rail. I'd vote LRA over TRG bipod for those 2 reasons.

    Please Help Scope Clearance Issue

    Sounds like you are asking about the concept of a dovetail riser. Not sure if any quality product exists because you are negating any possible benefit to direct mount & effectively recreating the picatinny rail concept. i.e., for me i see your optimal solution as getting a new 20MOA rail and...

    Rifle Scopes Ordered: VALDADA IOR 5.8-40x56 40mm Tactical FFP, MOA/MOA

    Txhillbilly ... if the scope was test fit on rifle parts, how do you know the tracking is excellent? doesn't that require thorough testing like a box test or tall target test?

    Rifle Scopes How long is too long?

    Glad to see it got resolved! Random question ... has the experience swayed your opinion on doing pre-buys considering how many have come and gone from the new and used market? Also I asked my gf her opinion of your question and she said 10 inches.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles... new scopes?

    LOL. You asking that of the same brand who made a 3-12 as long as a regular SB320, and simply bigger than a NF315F1 or TT315M? The scope you seek already exists: SB520US.

    6.5 Grendel bolt actions. Howa or maybe custom build.

    Oh fuck me silly it would also be a great excuse to get both a TBAC Ultra 7 and 5 in 6.5mm

    6.5 Grendel bolt actions. Howa or maybe custom build.

    OP stated it ... lighter, more compact rifle that his kids could easily shoot. I've thought the same but for my gf. Hell with the same ballistics as 308, it's even more appealing. 308 is fucking gay. 308 isn't like a classic car unless you think Corvairs are classic. I look at it this way ... I...

    Rifle Scopes Very specific ring height question

    50mm bell ... everybody has safely mounted SB416 in Seekins 0.92" rings with plenty of room for caps, or NF NXS F1 in 30mm 0.87" Seekins lows but that cap sometimes didn't fit. I've had stumpy Hensoldts in 0.92" lows with room for the bikini. I'd wager you are safe with Seekins 0.92" but not...

    Rifle Scopes movingmy scope back

    SubOptimal i get what you mean from math "theory," if your erector zero point is off let's say 40MOA from scope dead center, and we assume at 100 yd, bullet trajectory could be assumed as dead flat, then it's like a right trangle, then Sin(0.667)=Opp/Hyp says POI will shift less than 0.02" low...

    EH1A or T6A?

    bkw1911, that's exactly what it comes down to is grip size. Here are 2 pics of a MCST next to T6A, and T next to A3-5. Big hands likely prefer the T6, smaller likely prefer the EH1.

    Rifle Scopes Iota scope rings with illuminated bubble

    Here's a pic of 520US on the TemplarV2/Deviant set up using 1.031" APA ... if it helps you assess where the end of the ocular bell is relative to the stock/grip. Maybe you dont need it as far back, but for me that extra 0.5-0.75" action length means I'd probably have to float the objective above...

    Rifle Scopes Iota scope rings with illuminated bubble

    What action are you putting it on? Since you mention real estate issues, i assume you have the 520US not the 320US. Have you mounted and tested the scope with rings lower than 1" yet? I ask these questions because I was used to only using 0.92" Seekins and 0.95" APA. Traded for a pair of APA...

    Rifle Scopes Iota scope rings with illuminated bubble

    google up "nightforce top ring bubble" ... trade off is if you are fixated on the no-snag clamp design, nf only makes 1/2" external nut

    EH1A or T6A?

    From T6A owner, would rather have gone EH1(A). I'll throw out the curve ball: if I could actually redo, McMillan Game Warden Edge adjustable.

    buying unknown trued barreled action

    My buddy's first LR/precision rifle was a local buy from unknown smith. It shot good for a bit then just wouldn't group. Needless to say, he spent several wasted outings trying to diagnose the issue. Barrel channel wasnt opened enough and bedding was messy and cracking apart. He ended up...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle "shift" when adjusting magnification

    I had an old SB 4-16 that did that. As G6MM mentions above, observe if the entire image shifts. That scope functioned perfectly otherwise.

    Rifle Scopes Finally got my S&B 5-20 Ultra Short who can paint it?

    Not affliated with EO but saw their email ... if your reticle is MSR or P4f, that SB moving sale means you can get a SB520US LP DT Pantone for $3K right now. That means the same deal likely available via any SB vendor. If same reticle, you are better off buying one of those while you can and...

    Marketing penetration & Google KW strategies. Here's a hint that reveals the obvious: Google Scopelist return policy mailing address, then Google that address. What company comes up?
