    My new M40 replica.

    Re: My new M40 replica. Mike did one heck of a job! Im also interested in pictures of the stock and the scope too if you can make some. Do you know exactly what collor he used for the duracoat on the scope? It looks very well done. Im looking forward to the range report.

    My new M40 replica.

    Re: My new M40 replica. Beautitiful rifle! Judging from the turret caps, the scope wasn't originaly green anodized. Was it painted? If so, what did you use and how?

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Accu-range

    Re: Redfield Accu-range I finally received the scope at home. (Pictures in the thread were from the seller) From what I know the scopes date of manufacture can roughly be traced back by it's serial number. The scopes serial number is <span style="text-decoration: underline">Y260xx</span>...

    Photos M40 & 40A1 clones

    Re: M40 & 40A1 clones +1 Basraboy, I can't help but drool over that beautiful m40. Black steel and oiled walnut, it doesn't get much better than that. Now go out and shoot those rifles! And let us how they perform.

    My Harren/Russo M40

    Re: My Harren/Russo M40 I just came across this tread, beautiful rifle! Absolutely beautiful, it could fool my young eye at first sight. Now it just needs to be dragged across the forest for some years and it would look completely "authentic" . I just love black steel and oiled walnut...

    Rifle Scopes Torque wrench really necessary?

    Re: Torque wrench really necessary? Thanks for the tip for Borka. The base is a Redfield Jr and the rings old Redfield 4-screws, I haven't mounted them yet, but the are not exactly $300 Badgers.

    Rifle Scopes Torque wrench really necessary?

    Re: Torque wrench really necessary? Considering (shot-to-shot) consistency is accuracy, Would it also be a good idea to lap the rings? I was thinking of buying the whole kit from wheeler engineering.

    Rifle Scopes Torque wrench really necessary?

    Re: Torque wrench really necessary? Thanks for all the good advice everyone!!! Some really good arguments as to the how and why. I have on old Redfield accurange I will be installing in some months, not something I would like to over tighten. I will see if I can find a good wrench here, if...

    Rifle Scopes Torque wrench really necessary?

    Probably everyone knows the videos of Larry Potterfield, Brownells and others. When torquing the base, rings or the action to the stock they use an adjustable torque wrench to torque it all down to a specific number of inch/pounds. Still, countless people do it simply by feel and there are few...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Accurange Questions

    Re: Redfield Accurange Questions If it has a tall "target style" knob then it might be an Accu-track. As far as I know (but anyone correct me if I am wrong), it is a kind of BDC turret.

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Accu-range

    Re: Redfield Accu-range SScoyote: Now that I know the math, this system could be used for any scope. I have a mosin nagant with a PU-scope on it, it has a simple 3 post reticle. Next time I go to the range I will see what distances are between the posts. Thanks for the explanation...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Accu-range

    Re: Redfield Accu-range Thanks for the explanation, I have a basic understanding of ranging, but you made it clear as day. I tried mildots once but didn't really like it. Using the x and the posts sounds like a good way to range objects though, like mildots pretty much limitless. However...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Accu-range

    Re: Redfield Accu-range Thanks for the link, Never knew the old Leupolds had a feature like that. I am sure there are dozens of other range-finding methods out there, I usually only shoot around 100 yards, but I am always interested in these kind of things. Can anyone tell me a bit more...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Accu-range

    Re: Redfield Accu-range Interesting thought Driftwood. Never thought of using the simple duplex reticle like that. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Some of the Leupolds use a similar system</div></div> Which Leupold's do you mean?

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Accu-range

    Re: Redfield Accu-range Thanks guys! That's the information I needed. Indeed, it was a very good ranging system then, and still is today, I wish some mayor scope manufacturer would resurrect this fine old reticle. I like the idea of a Leupold VXII 3-9x40 with a accu-range reticle. Old...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Accu-range

    Re: Redfield Accu-range Thanks for answering chadwick, But I don't have a modern Redfield scope, I have one of the old Redfields from the 60's. It is a gloss black one, as you can see in the pictures. It has the two horizontal lines in the top and the tombstone from 200-600 yards in the...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Accu-range

    Hi, I recently bought a redfield accu-range scope. I know roughly how it works, but can't find much info of how to use it. Does anyone know where I can find info on how the accu-range works and how to use it? Or perhaps anyone has an old ad that he can scan? Kind regards, 30cal
