    Rifle Scopes Scope Leveling

    Re: Scope Leveling +1 on the feeler gauge. Flat plate of metal with perfectly parallel edges should work also. Mentioned earlier, if you take it to the Nth degree: the hope is the base is mounted so the axis of the scope and the bore are co planar first, then the reticle is "leveled" so the...

    AAC that shoots

    Re: AAC that shoots AAC-SD with 175 FGMM or similar will get you easily to 1k, all day, every day. 1200 isn't out of the realm of possibilities.

    Duffel Bags

    Re: Duffel Bags My vote for a bombproof duffle bag would be a North Face Base Camp duffle. Mine has gone around the world several times and is still going strong: some scuffs but otherwise no loose threads, tears or otherwise, zippers work perfectly. There are only 3 interior pockets: 2 on...

    Bolt lift modded for HOWA?

    Re: Bolt lift modded for HOWA? I was looking for a rubber ball that could fit tightly over the OEM knob, but haven't found a US supplier. The KRG bolt lifts have been very well received by those that can't or don't want to modify their bolts permanently.

    FDAC vs Accuracy 1st Whiz Wheel

    Re: FDAC vs Accuracy 1st Whiz Wheel +1 for the FDAC here. After looking at both, I liked the simplicity of the FDAC and went with it. As long as you use a similar enough bullet and know your muzzle velocity, it works. Granted you don't get that gnats-ass every single variable factored in...

    What model 700 to grow into?

    Re: What model 700 to grow into? Any 700 in .308 and a SWFA SS 10x42 will be plenty for a starting point...then upgrade as needs/budget require/fit. The 5R is probably top of the food chain in terms of not too many things left to "upgrade". Otherwise the general upgrade path for would be...

    Best insulated gear?

    Re: Best insulated gear? +1 for snugpak. Good value on the Sleeka line. Otherwise if you need something lighter anything with PrimaLoft One or Exceloft insulation in a light weight nylon shell with DWR should do just fine. Typically the warmth of a mid weight windproof fleece at like 1/2 the...

    best stock thumbhole stock for a rem 700 5r

    Re: best stock thumbhole stock for a rem 700 5r +1 on the AICS. 1) High degree of adjustability. 2) No bedding required. 3) DBM already built into system. Add the cost of bedding, DBM, bells and whistles, it's nearly a wash.

    AAC-SD break in period???

    Re: AAC-SD break in period??? Torque sequence of the barreled action in the stock is important: be sure to pull the action towards the rear of the stock before tightening the screws to make sure the recoil lug is against the slot in the stock, then alternating between front and rear fasteners...

    Hearing protection

    Re: Hearing protection Plugs + Howard leights Impact Sports here. Pretty cost effective. The Howard Leights are good on their own, but my preference is to double up and use plugs at the same time if the rifles on the line next to me have brakes. Haven't found any electronic ear muffs with...

    Rem 700 308 with AICS trouble

    Re: Rem 700 308 with AICS trouble A cylinder in a V-block should only have 2 lines of contact...at the tangent points. It was a peculiar sounding issue because mechanically, the AICS system is about as solid as it gets. While it would have been nice to figure out the root cause of the...

    Manfrotto tripod suggestions

    Re: Manfrotto tripod suggestions If it's Manfrottos, it's either the 190XPROB or 055XPROB that you can use prone or standing. The 055XPROB is a little stouter, but it probably won't support your rifle like the Caldwell Dead Shot Fieldpod would... 190XPROB costs a little less than the...

    a quick watch question

    Re: a quick watch question How is it difficult to hack the date on a Luminox? Hack the second hand as well as possible, set the date 1 day behind of what it should be, then wind forward the time until the time (and consequently date) are correct... The Suuntos seem to have the least...

    Essential Gear List for the all purpose shooter

    Re: Essential Gear List for the all purpose shooter Rifle cleaning protocol seems to be a highly personal item: there was a recent thread about boresnakes: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3395667 My opinion is to run one through after a day's of shooting...
