    Rifle Scopes HELP PLEASE: M70 Pre 64 Scope Base

    My M70 has a leupold and dovetail, not what your looking for. I would call Farrell. I have had good luck with other products from him.

    Proper Prone/Bipod Technique - Weight support

    I use my arms more than elbows-forearms, etc. Maybe a carry over from service rifle + personal preference. Might be a bad habit that I have grown into.

    Question on trimming 308 brass

    Springy stuff? Tool can measure .001 accurately? What does the head of the case look like? For me, I don't measure after I trim, but just assume that the cutter puts it all in the same place.

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    Neither. Get an M14 built by one of the builders who really know the rifle. SAI is ok stuff. But the options from the likes of Wolfe, Brown, Luppino are going to throw an SAI rifle under the bus (usually for less money). I own SAI rifles, but they were all bought used.

    Light enough to carry all day...heavy enough to shoot all day

    I have a pair of 308s, one is a 53 m70 featherweight, maybe 8#, the other is in the AICS with scope, rings, can, double that. I run quite a bit. Actually a lot. I often hear runners saying, "these shoes are heavy", "I don't want to carry that on a x mile run". A common response is 'take a dump...

    Can a 308 rifle shoot any grain bullet without damaging to the barrel or gun?

    with exceptions to m14 types. I know this is a bolt forum-I have two bolt 308s that have had time with 110-220s, one is a 12 twist from 1953, the other is a 10 from 2013. Newer stick is slightly more accurate on follow-ups.

    Bad lot of Lapua Scenar 300 grain bullets

    It is interesting that the fracture visibility is dependent on jacket hardness. And this makes me want to ask other questions. Questions that outcomes really don't matter with my ability... Neat-o...makes me think.

    Bad lot of Lapua Scenar 300 grain bullets

    I have those on all my berger and lapua lots. More noticeable on the lapua-155&168. On Sierra I have to look hard to find them.

    Storing primers and powder?

    I have never tried to set anything off. The containers I use are basically some old 1x crates. I found them at a junk sale and they were in decent shape. They hold 8#'ers upright and have plenty of ventilation. I had an older wood crate that I have stored some stuff in since I was 12 or so. I...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for M1A

    I tried a 42 on a sadlak mount and the short tube over the rail barely cleared the bell using standard Farrell rings (when set to my cheek weld). Higher rings would fix this. Your mount on a m25 might be slightly better. Bummed me, because I wanted glass with a parallax control on it. Went to...

    Rifle Scopes 30mm options-bear with me

    Yes, MOA kind of guy. Caliber is 308, might get a switch barrel at some point, but don't really want to spend the $ on another caliber/dies. Paper, Hunting, maybe a match or two if I ever have a free weekend before I am 90-I generally have time to shoot 2x a week, just not on the weekend. I...

    Rifle Scopes Before sending my new Viper PST 6-24 FFP back to manufacturer

    I had a canted reticle once on a new NF (don't shoot with optics much). So I went to the eye dr and had my script changed. There are more people with an astigmatism (and don't know it) than with canted reticles.
