    Gunsmithing help with scope base for mod 70 win...... I believe short action

    First, let me say thank you for responding to my post. It appears that I have a odd version of the mod 70. I picked this rifle up late 70's or 80's and it does not appear to have been altered and looks like a stock win mod 70 receiver. It has a heavy varmint barrel and on the barrel it is...

    Gunsmithing help with scope base for mod 70 win...... I believe short action

    I have an older Model 70 Winchester in 22-250. It is not a pre-64 model. I purchased a Nightforce base for a short action mod 70, but the bolt holes on the receiver do not match up with the holes in the scope base brownells sent. If you put the mounting screws in front pair of holes, the back...

    New Tikka T3X CTR...non 1" moa

    my 20" barrel Tikka T3X CTR likes Factory Hornady 140 ELD-M's.....generally will put 5 into a dime at 100yd. But the speed is slow...... MV 2589...... another load that shoots that good for me is 41.5 gr of 4350 with a 130gr ELD-M..........but speed is still slow at 2600. I played with R17 and...

    Reload precision rifle on Dillon 650?

    yes, I been looking at that better mousetrap...... looks like 1k for the whole works with the scale......i'm not quite there yet. I haven't timed how long to load 100rds, but it is way longer than when we load 100rd of 223 on the dillon...... we still punch primers and use a stainless...

    Reload precision rifle on Dillon 650?

    Currently loading with a CoAx single stage....... but interested in going the Dillon route. (friend has a 1050) We haven't tried using the progressive because of the brass prep that we do. Are you de-capping, SS wash, annealing.....then going to the progressive to trim, size and prime, etc...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I think the stock rail is 0 moa........ I was going to get a 1 piece 20 moa one piece mount...... I thought I read a post on here that said the spuhr one piece was one that fit the T3X rail the best? Locally I can only get to 1000 yd......so 8.8 mil. But with a 20 moa mount....should have no...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I just picked up a T3X CTR stainless in 6.5 creed...... Do I need to replace the factory rail with aftermarket to use a one piece mount? (nightforce, badger, spuhr ) Hoping for some solid advice on best one piece mount for this rifle and I read that removing the factory rail can be a pain...

    Suppressors seems excessive bullet shift when shooting suppressed

    I'll check it out again tomorrow........weather is supposed to be good. LRI did the barrel, and the machine work is impeccable. I appreciate the feedback......I'll give it another try and hopefully it will be predictable. Thanks again.

    Rifle Scopes Counter Sniper scopes Review/Test

    Re: Counter Sniper scopes Review/Test I picked up one of these scopes at the tulsa gun show for 450 (didn't want to spend 1200-1400) and put it on a dpms 7.62. I have 50-60 rounds through the rifle. 5 shot groups are avg under an inch. Given the rifle has a stock trigger I would expect better...
