    Rifle changing zero suddenly

    Re: Rifle changing zero suddenly Between the machining tolerances on the action and the additional tolerances on the aluminum bedding block there is some tolerance stacking. The skim bedding makes for a perfect fit. My smith has done a lot of these and he said that some come from the factory...

    Laser range finders?

    Re: Laser range finders? I have had my Leica 1200 for about 4 years and have been happy with both performance and reliability. Can't remember a time when it has not worked. Now thinking about getting the 1600.

    Shooting glasses

    It's bi-focal time. Does anyone make sHooting glasses that have clear non prescription safety glass lenses with bifocal bottom sections? I'm having difficulty switching from looking through my scope to looking at the small markings on my elevation and windage dials. I seem too remember seeing an...

    F T/R Competition What scope do you use for 600-1000 yard F T/R?

    Re: What scope do you use for 600-1000 yard F T/R? That's why they make variables.......so you can the the power down to whatever magnification is optimum for the current condition. There is no law that says you have to shoot it always at the highest power. However if you have a 5.5x22 there...

    Gunsmithing Mike Rock or Bartlein **PICS ADDED**

    Re: Mike Rock or Bartlein If you look at the match results published by the various shoots you will not get much help because both makers will be over represented. Does that help?

    Re: Converting a .223 to .308 I just shot my 223 Remmington action/Rock Creek barrel in an 800 yd F Class match. I didn't win but I was competitive against the many 308s in the class. Keep and shoot your 223.

    Rifle Scopes Took the Nightforce NXS Plunge today...

    Re: Took the Nightforce NXS Plunge today... In my mind the Nightforce is better than Leupold, etc but may not be the quality of S and B or Primier. For me they are a good deal because the price is only marginally more than the top end Leupold but the quality is pretty close to scopes that...

    Sierra 223 kbullet difference

    I finished a 500 box of 77gr MK and started on a new box. The new lot is 002 shorter in OAL and almost .002 shorter base to ogive. The weights are all the same. I have not tested accuracy yet. Has anyone else seen this kind of dimension difference between lots of Match Kings?

I would not be satisfied with "another week or two". ask them to make a replacement shipment and return the first shipment when it finally arrives..........at Sinclairs...

Then someone invented F Class and before I knew it ....it was gone. The good news is that I have prepped it...

    What load are you running in your 5R?

    Re: What load are you running in your 5R? When I wanted better 800-1000 yd performance than I was getting from 168 SMKs I tried both 175s and 155 Palmas.. I settled on the 155. Better accuracy at all distances to 600 .......equal at 800-1000....and less recoil. It took me a while to find a...
