    Sniping In The Ukraine

    Chinese QBU-202 sniper rifle in 338 Lapua with a Schmidt-Bender knock-off. Spotter has a thermal laser rangefinder. Chinese 338 Lapua cartridge on the right. They need to work on precision.

    Defects in the glass. Should I send this scope in or live with it?

    Same with Leupold. I'm no scope builder or servicer, but it seemed especially prevalent in scopes shot in hot deserts.

    Muzzle Brake question

    You can try the Precision Armament EFAB. Not as blasty as some and perhaps not as efficient at recoil reduction as others, but a good compromise for reducing muzzle jump without concussion.

    What can cause accuracy to fall apart at 700 yards?

    I've tried the new and old Sierra 155 Palmas and Lapua 155 Scenars and haven't had any luck with them past 600 in a 16- or 20" L-W stainless 1-12 (even at 5500 ASL) -- couldn't push them fast enough, and they shed velocity faster than heavies. My son's long-range SR-25 knock-off has a Satern...

    What can cause accuracy to fall apart at 700 yards?

    Hmm. I've only used their stainless barrels so my input won't be the same.

    What can cause accuracy to fall apart at 700 yards?

    Is it the VarTac profile? They have it in-stock and I was thinking of getting one.

    What can cause accuracy to fall apart at 700 yards?

    I've not shot 178s, but the 175 Match King needs to launch around 2550 to reach 1,000 supersonic. Not sure but I think 178 A-Max is longer. JBM says you should be good-to-go for a Hornady 178 Boat-tail Match with your given met data:

    Trouble with Targets (Spotting them)

    Not uncommon, you could set up your rifle for right hand shooter / left eye dominant (this is a grenade launcher): Hart makes an offset scope base like this: Fox Valley:

    Trouble with Targets (Spotting them)

    How old are you, Doc? Has your opthalmologist checked you for cataracts?

    Eject! Eject! Eject! Is anything other than 3:00-4:00 OK?

    Unless you're going to do ridiculous military things (like shoot in sub-arctic conditions) I don't think it matters. If parts wear out, change them. MIL-SPEC simply means it works under a known/specified set of conditions at a price point a bidder thinks he can meet while still making a...

    Eject! Eject! Eject! Is anything other than 3:00-4:00 OK?

    I am not sure you have a problem. The weapon functions and cycles perfectly and it seems your gas system doesn't foul much. Are you tuning for hits and to minimize stoppages or to save your brass? If you're just trying to solve an OCD geometry and brass collection problem I'd say save the...

    Leather sewing thread and leather work

    Dude! Leather, Nomex thread, and brass GI snaps. You could be making bank producing suppressor holsters.

    Rifle Scopes Seven Scopes with Issues or Something Else

    What is your bag filler? Bigger, lighter poly or plastic beads popular in run-and-gun bags are going to roll and and take more reps to settle than dense, heavy black volcanic benchrest sand in a leather bag on top of a Bald Eagle.

    AR10 accuracy question

    What exactly are your requirements for this rifle and what is your shooting experience level at the ranges you wish to hit and score? Are you trying for benchrest precision -- because you're not going to get that with a thinner 16.5-inch barrel, piston operating system, and GI trigger. A GI E-...

    Steel targets for 338 lapua

    You'll want the hardened steel. T-1 (for armor) or Abrasion Resistant (AR) 500. At least 5/8-inch inside of 500 yards.

    Varget vs N140

    The Double Alpha .223 powder funnel/insert for Dillon powder measures is mirror-polished inside and helps more than I thought possible for progressive-loading stick powder:

    Varget vs N140

    I've not used N140, but I've burned up quite a bit of N135 and N540. I'd buy the four cans of VV at the price of three Vargets. N135 flows really smoothly through Dillon and Redding measures.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Typical post office. My last certified mail payment for a scope mount took 17 days to deliver with tracking obviously not working. It took two "Where's my mail?" tracers and they were useless. Submit a tracer after the appropriate time elapses.

    REM 9 1/2 primers in M118lr clone load?

    You won't notice much difference. Neither is a benchrest rifle, and as mentioned, M118LR brass isn't particularly precision noteworthy.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    PEQ/PAQ should go on the side or a diving board. The top Pic rail space would be for a passive or thermal clip-on (otherwise, as you can see, your scope is occluded).
