    Please identify Parker Hale Model

    Re: Please identify Parker Hale Model Thank you very much for the information. You certainly have the credentials to be an expert on the subject. It does have a magazine and a vertical slot in the trigger guard for it. So would that make it a M87? Again thanks for your help. Sherlok

    Gallery Loads

    I've been quite happy with squib loads for my indoor shooting range with .30-06 and .308 using very small charges (like about 2.0 grains) of Bulls Eye with 100 grain cast bullets. But has anyone developed one for the .45 acp? Thought I would ask before re-inventing the wheel. Noise is an issue...

    Please identify Parker Hale Model

    My highest praise for all service personnel past and present on this Memorial weekend - Thank You. Any Parker Hale experts out there? I cannot find any information on the web about model numbers for Parker Hales. There was a similar one on gun broker that was supposedly a model 82, but...

    223 bolt guns

    Re: 223 bolt guns I have two SPS Tacticals - identical set ups, one in .308 and one in .223. Love them both, but the .223 gets shot more by a large margin. Sherlok

    springfield 03A3 308

    Re: springfield 03A3 308 The only reason might be standardization. I briefly considered using a Navy Sleeve in mine since everything else I have including a Garand is .308. But the downside is that you would probably need to shorten the magazine follower and use a custom spring with a spacer...

    20 moa base and 50 moa of adjustment - Problem?

    Re: 20 moa base and 50 moa of adjustment - Problem? Amen to the signature rings with offset bushings. Allows you to max out your scope's range of adjustment for long and short range stuff. Sherlok

    Newbie 700 SPS Tactical question

    Re: Newbie 700 SPS Tactical question Expect quality to be lacking somewhat on a rifle that retails below $600.00. Even so it should shoot .75 to.5 moa right out of the box with match ammo. That was not readily obtainable years ago even when quality was better. Although not a thing of beauty...

    SPS .308 or SPS Tactical .308 - Which one?

    Re: SPS .308 or SPS Tactical .308 - Which one? I would go with the steeper twist to stabilize the heavys. You cannot over spin the lighter ones, so you can use them too. If you choose the .223 for economics, be sure to get a 1-9 twist which is supposed to be standard in the SPS Tactical, but...

    168 FGMM Group Sizes?

    Re: 168 FGMM Group Sizes? 168 grain GMM has been OK in my SPS Tac (about .75 moa), but I can out hand load it. I was very disappointed in their 69 grain load in .223. Did not seem like the gold standard to me. Regards, Sherlok

    SPS .308 or SPS Tactical .308 - Which one?

    Re: SPS .308 or SPS Tactical .308 - Which one? Hi Longrange, I went for the SPS Tactical. The 20" barrel is lighter and handier, and you don't lose any velocity. The Hogue stock is comfortable and rugged. Accuracy is about .75 moa. or better. The Bushnell 3200 Elites I have on my rifles (I...

    Thoughts on IMR-3031

    Re: Thoughts on IMR-3031 I like standardization, but I was unable to find one powder for both .223 and .308 that gave optimum results. Ended up with H4895 for .223 and IMR4895 for .308. 3031 which I have lots of just won't cut it against these two so it will be used for cast bullet loads...

    Silhoutte shooting

    Re: Silhoutte shooting Would an older Winchester M75 Target be legal as a hunting rifle? It's exactly 8.5 lbs, magazine fed and the barrel is slightly tapered. Thanks, Sherlok

    H&R M12 Scope Base - Great Source!

    Re: H&R M12 Scope Base - Great Source! Great mounts. I also have one from him for a Winchester M52. Someone in the future will thank you for not drilling these fine rifles. Sherlok

    Good price for Rem 700 .223 SPS tac

    Re: Good price for Rem 700 .223 SPS tac Check the twist!!! About 1,200 went out with 1-12 barrels instead of 1-9 as advertised. Had to send mine back for the right barrel. No charge, but a pain and a hassle. Now it is a true .5 MOA with 69 grain SMKs. Sherlok

    Need some help sighting in my sweet new rifle.

    Re: Need some help sighting in my sweet new rifle. Yes,do all the above. If you can get one to hit paper, then without moving the knobs, position the rifle in a cleaning rest where the crosshairs are in the bull. Trying not to move the rifle carefully adjust the knobs to where the crosshairs...

    Re: Rem 40X .22 US with pics. No word anywhere but here about the CMP 40X rumor. Would be nice if there was something to it. Sherlok

    Help on AR's

    Re: Help on AR's Thanks for all of the input. I guess it makes sense that I don't need a scope with the HBAR. And I could build a pretty decent flat top later by acquiring a lower. Thanks again, Sherlok

    Help on AR's

    I'm not too familiar with AR's being a bolt guy, but I'm looking for one now. I want a full rifle, heavy barrel with at least 1 moa accuracy. There's a new Colt HBAR nearby, but it does not look like a flat top with removable grip which I the specs on Colt's site said they had. Can you mount a...

    Remington 540XR

    Re: Remington 540XR I dunno. I've got about $400 in mine and it's a CMP after adding sights. Worth every penny. If you can find one cheaper, go for it. Sherlok

    First stuck case!

    Re: First stuck case! About 30 years ago Hollywood (not the town of course) offered FL tungsten carbide bottle-necked rifle dies for their progressive loaders. I paid a small fortune in the 70's for one in .308, but you still need to lightly lube the case or it will stick. I don't know of...
