    Some questions on CMP Remington 40X rifles...

    Re: Some questions on CMP Remington 40X rifles... Alright, pics. I already stripped down my Remington 40-X and 40-XB down to the barreled receivers to give them a good cleaning myself. I just bedded a Badger Ord 20 MOA rail on the 40-XB - fits well (now). The top one is the 40-X that I'd...

    Some questions on CMP Remington 40X rifles...

    Re: Some questions on CMP Remington 40X rifles... Ok, so I received them. Overall, they both look pretty good. Couple things to note: The included trigger had the bottom 1/4 of it broken off. From the looks of it, it happened a LONG time ago. Not sure if I should figure out a way to...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 5-20x50 HD Picture thread.......

    Re: SWFA SS 5-20x50 HD Picture thread....... Since we're telling range tales here. I was at a large public range several years ago and the person in the shooting bay had asked me to help him with his scope; zeroing it at 100 yards. As I looked over at his rifle, he had the scope mounted so...

    Re: Some questions on CMP Remington 40X rifles... VERY good info - thank you. According to FedEx, both should arrive today, so if I have time, I'll get some pictures of them tonight or tomorrow. I'm glad I was able to pick these up before the CMP sold out. Appears I'll need to buy a PTG...

    Picked up some AR500 plates - take 308 hits @ dist

    Re: Picked up some AR500 plates - take 308 hits @ dist Those that are talking about divots and dimples from .223 - is that 1/2" AR500? Or 1/4" or 3/8"?

    Picked up some AR500 plates - take 308 hits @ dist

    So I picked up some 1/2" AR500 armor plates in various sizes. They will have a slight downward angle as I'm hanging them to deflect jackets downward. I'd imagine that these can handle any handgun rounds at any distance, but how about rifle rounds? I'd mostly be shooting 308, 223, 7.62x54R...

    Timing a new brake on a Remington 700 - help

    So I bought a few RWS brakes from Ross; one for my Remington 700 in .223, another for one in 308 and one for my LR-308. What's the best way for me to time these without doing any machining to the brake or the rifle? Crush washers? Peel washers? I tried a crush washer on the Remington 700 in...

    Hanging steel targets... need some input

    Re: Hanging steel targets... need some input That was one of the threads I was reviewing. This method of hanging them looked to be the easiest and least costly, but I don't know where to find that steel wire. Any downsides to hanging it that way? In conjunction with the "steel wire" I...

    Bought my 40MOA Nightforce base... small screws?

    So I removed my Badger Ord 20MOA base and today I received my Nightforce 40MOA base for my Remington 700 SA. It came with the base itself, allen wrench and five screws; 4 long screws and 1 short screw. I was a bit surprised, as they usually come with two small ones for the front and two longer...

    Re: Hanging steel targets... need some input Where can one buy some conveyor belt or used rubber fire hose? Of course, assuming that it's cheaper than other options.
