    New Timney trigger

    Just installed the Timney 512 in my 5R 308 today. Of course the bolt release spring went flying, even though I was trying to prevent that. Also I did not know that the X mark trigger was going to shed some pieces when you push out the pins. All part of being a noob… (first time ever taking apart...

    Put a deposit down on my first "big boy" gun!

    You will need one of these too. I have a 5R and this is the least expensive way (other than duct tape and foam) to align your cheek weld with the scope. https://www.triadtactical.com/images/P/IMG_0081.jpg

    Accuracy up, Consistency up, but shoulder really sore...

    Thanks for the constructive advice! Now that I have had time to think about it, I think what happened is that I watched all the videos in the online training section in 1 week, and then tried to do *Everything* on the videos all at once. In the process I did do a lot of things right, but...

    Put a deposit down on my first "big boy" gun!

    Don't goof around with it until you have shot it for a while. You need to have a performance baseline before you can tell if any one mod is an improvement or not. People do the same thing with brand new high performance cars. They spend more money, have more problems and end up with a slower...

    Exactly.

    Accuracy up, Consistency up, but shoulder really sore...

    I'm not the one that seems to know quite a lot about women's make up and is playing with panty liners...

    Accuracy up, Consistency up, but shoulder really sore...

    Yea, I definitely put the stock not only on the collarbone, but where the collarbone meets the shoulder joint. Too high and way too outboard on the actual shoulder joint. Won't be doing that next time; thats for sure...

    Rifle Scopes Do you remember your first range session with a really nice scope?

    Had a pretty solid scope on my Rem 5R that worked very well (Weaver Tactical EMDR). Decided to upgrade to a Nightforce F1. Wow. Now I understand what all the talk of "nice glass" is about. Really hard to describe, all I have to say is WOW!

    Accuracy up, Consistency up, but shoulder really sore...

    I know I'm going to take a beating, but maybe someone knows how to minimize this... Stock Rem 700 5R 308. Off the bench (concrete), Harris bipod. Applied the recoil management techniques as taught in online training here. Pulling the rifle into the pocket in your shoulder works like a charm...

    Rifle or inexperience? How do I tell

    +3. I thought my technique was OK until I watched the videos here. Boy was I clueless. One small example out of MANY: my bipod would jump an inch off the bench after each shot, and I thought that was normal; DOH!!!

    Rifle fell over, what to do next?

    Don't think there is anything wrong with your post. I just put a brand new Nightforce F1 on my rifle. The first time it falls over and gets all dinged up, I'm not going to be happy about it. I guarantee you most of the guys that told you what a wuss you were for posting this, would cuss up a...

    First round getting "stuck" while loading...

    I get to answer my own thread! This problem was getting progressively worse. I was upgrading the scope on this rifle, and I happened to check the action screws. The back one was about to fall out. Tightened it to spec. Feeding problem gone. Weird thing is if you google this problem, you'll get...

    Reasons for you taking bolt-action over semi-auto?

    What rifles lie between a Rem 700 5R and a GAP Crusader?

    Thank you for the responses so far. A lot of good advice to think about!

    What rifles lie between a Rem 700 5R and a GAP Crusader?

    Have the 5R. Shoots great for the money at $1K. Salivating about the GAP, but $4K is a bit steep for me. Worthy contenders in between these two? Thanks!

    Rant. Disappointed in our freshly hired veteran

    A bit off topic, but funny you mention Miami. My wife had a good size small business (Daycare) there for five years. Average # of employees at any one time 14. When she sold the business I asked her what was the total number of people she hired/fired/replaced in the 5 years. She looked it up...

    Where to move to in America?

    Been through that dilemma before. No matter where you go, there is going to be *something* in the negative column. Don't get so picky that you end up not moving ;-)

    Rifle Scopes High magnification scope owners, what power do you use 100 to 1000 yards?

    Getting my first scope that goes up to 20 power (SWFA SS 5-20 X 50) The guys that taught the sniper class I took (Marine/LE snipers), said that all you need up to 1000 yards is a 10 power. They were quite insistent on that. What power do you guys use in reality at say 100, 300, 500, 700, 1000...
