    HS Precision 5r stock question

    Re: HS Precision 5r stock question What kind of bipod is it? The Harris I have allows the gun to tilt quite a bit. If they are way off you could drill new holes and move the studs, the forearm is just fiberglass.

    Recoil Managment

    Re: Recoil Managment Even my ar15 has some muzzle climb under recoil and that is about as inline as it gets. I think it has a lot to do with the ergonomics of holding the rifle, but I am no expert. Raising the scope raises some (not serious) issues, it is best to have the scope as close to...

    Snow ghillie build ideas

    Re: Snow ghillie build ideas Saw a thread on here a while back where a guy put a layer of waterproof nylon on the front to help keep dry. Anything that keeps snow from building up on the suit will help.

    why would you NOT want a muzzle brake

    Re: why would you NOT want a muzzle brake I messed up once and shot my '06 with a muzzle brake without my plugs in, it felt like someone shoved a screwdriver in my ear! When I hunt I don't wear hearing protection which would be very bad with a brake.

    What do you have your trigger weight set to?

    Re: What do you have your trigger weight set to? Not exactly sure of the weight since I don't have a scale, but if I tie off a 2.5 lb weight I just barely push on it to break it. I figure it should be in the 3-3.5lb range which is fine for a rifle used mostly for hunting. It's a x-mark...

    AR 15 BRASS CATCHER

    Re: AR 15 BRASS CATCHER I got this one and it works fine. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/269873/caldwell-ar-15-brass-catcher-nylon-mesh-black It works fine at the bench. I have not tried it on the move or filled it up to capacity. I will get one or two pieces of brass that stick to the...

    CZ 11mm Dovetail Needs Clamp on base

    Re: CZ 11mm Dovetail Needs Clamp on base I have not seen them first hand, but it looks like it slides on from the end and the set screws hold it in place, not really a true "clamp-on", but It should hold fine unless you are extremely hard on it.

    Rimfire central

    Re: Rimfire central I just signed up over there this week with no problem, don't know what could be wrong. I bet any question you have to post there could be answered here, and probably by the same people.

    Building a tactical remington 700 help?

    Re: Building a tactical remington 700 help? The gun will be a perfect place to start. I would go with the Bell & Carlson over a Choate, but that is just my opinion. If you don't want to spend that much, check out the non-adjustable version here...

    Best factory .260 available

    Re: Best factory .260 available I believe Tikka also chambers rifles in 260, but I would go with Savage. WAY more aftermarket support.

    Ripped Tape Camo Job - No Talent Required!!

    Re: Ripped Tape Camo Job - No Talent Required!! It was nerve racking as hell the first time I painted one of my rifles. Sometimes you just have to go for it. Turned out very nice for you. I think I might try a tiger striped variation of that.

    Rifle paint

    Re: Rifle paint It's true krylon doesn't hold up as well as duracoat. I have a Vanguard that I painted about four years ago that is ready for some touchup. I think the best way to go is start out with Krylon and see how you like it, if its the look you want you can always strip it down (comes...

    What's a Good Factory Action

    Re: What's a Good Factory Action With a Savage action you can swap barrels in your basement with a small investment in tools. With a R700 you need to take it to a gunsmith. Either way aftermarket support is more than adequate. You can often find used Stevens(cheap Savage) for $250 or so...

    Buy once cry once: Totally disagree

    Re: Buy once cry once: Totally disagree I understand your point and agree somewhat. Most people, especially beginners, will do just as well with a Vortex par on a R700 as with a Nightforce on a GAP. I wonder how many people "buy once, cry once" just to figure out the "best" equipment wasnt...

    Rifle Scopes Reliable 30mm scope rings/bases

    Re: Reliable 30mm scope rings/bases I have Burris xtr rings on a Weaver(brand) 20 MOA base. No issues yet on my 300 WM. I would suck it up and get the issue with your mounting holes fixed, you will be happier in the long run.

    Bought a bedded stock

    Re: Bought a bedded stock Just got a used stock that has been bedded. Put the action in it and the bolt was difficult to open, so I got out the Dremel and got it right down to the bedding block. Put the action back in and the bolt was harder to open. WTF!! Then the lightbulb went on. Filed...
