    Scope clarity question

    What are you even arguing towards though? Getting a mount that puts the erector tube in a sub optimal position just to win an argument on clarity semantics?

    223 Rem Bolt/Trainer Loads

    23.1-23.8 of 8208xbr under any 75-77 gr bullet will do just fine. Lapua brass, others just cause headaches, It’s awesome. 75eld,77tmk,77rdf etc

    Gunsmithing Which kind of crown do you like and why?

    First pic is with just the universal 419 mount, second pic is of the universal 419 with the thread protector on it. Different rifles, different times. All are dirty after the first 30 rounds.

    Gunsmithing Which kind of crown do you like and why?

    It can, just has to be clean enough. Doesn’t work on anything once it’s all covered up solid.

    First Remington 700 build..

    500 for essentially an action with your plans vs an aero solus for 700 I don’t like aero personally but that’s not even a decision, get the aero.

    Burris XRT III pricing

    The xtr3 3-18 isn’t exactly small. Cronus is is 35oz vs 30oz Edit: not really, the very early non btr version Cronus lacks some refinements but most everything you would find these days will be good. I really like my gen1 btr pictured, the gen2 is nicer yet but usually a couple hundred more...

    Burris XRT III pricing

    I’d buy a used cronus for a grand, more zoom but not appreciably larger physically. Not as wide of a field of view but superior in every other way I feel.

    Burris XRT III pricing

    They used to sell for 750-800, it’s only lately that they increased. For 1k I’d call it a turd. For 800 I’m not super impressed with mine.

    Bankruptcy R700 woes

    With bdl the action has to be cut for the rounds to sit against the aciton itself and still feed without spitting up out of the action. Stealing someone elses google pic here, I highlighted in yellow and put an arrow to the action itself being cut for that

    Bankruptcy R700 woes

    Until it stops rubbing, then one or two passes more for good measure. Id take one thread off to start with All of the ones I would buy are going to be half the cost of a kdg bravo chassis. Hard to recommend 200+ bucks bottom metal for a factory stock like that. Get a factory bottom metal off of...

    Burris XTR2-best scope option for around 500 bucks?

    I guess "reading be hard" if you only consider the threads existence since yesterday following a pseudo WTB post thread bump and not the other 65% of the thread preceding

    MPA Rifle rings or one peice scope mount?

    Rings or mount doesn’t matter. I do rings as it’s cheaper. Somewhere around .9-1.125 should work but the trend is higher, you have a cheek rest that’s adjustable to accommodate that.

    Dialing wind Question

    I dial to the lowest consistent wind. Something that is an established base line. Ex: if the wind is a constant 10 with gusts up to 15, I’ll dial the 10 and hold any extra that I need to for the 15 gusts. Sometimes it drops to 7mph, I can hold the other way, but I’m trying to stay centered in...

    223 freebore for 88-95gr

    I shoot a .100 and like it for 77s in prs tac stuff. The 90s arent that much longer and can be made to cram into a mag. For the 95s youre going to want to consider something much longer and I wouldnt think mag feeding would be very feasible if that matters to you. Most f class guys Ive read that...

    Right or left ?

    If you change the option selected you get a different picture based on that selection: what jrb said stands, test lower down the body with a lower degree to measure the heat migration if you are worried about it.

    Looking to purchase my first and last suppressor

    I used a tall cocktail glass, at least I did until I dropped it this past weekend. D'oh! But it fits closer to the can so you use less extra fluid. Edit: then again, maybe with the flare in the body it wouldnt have slipped out of my fingers...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    No it isnt. I use it just fine with supers.
