    Gunsmithing Problem with Savage bolt

    Re: Problem with Savage bolt The bolt is cocked when you remove from the action. Savage 110/10 bolts cock when opening. You need to have the bolt cocked to place it back into the action. Does that make sense? Its either that or we are misunderstanding the problem. Mike

    powder funnel, anyone ever used this one??

    Re: powder funnel, anyone ever used this one?? I have been trying to remember to look for a better funnel for a while now. This is just the info I needed. I've been using a Lee universal for years and while it was fine for the 308, its a PITA to use on 223, 9mm, 204, etc. Just ordered the...

    Rifle Scopes Understanding the Vortex Craze

    Re: Understanding the Vortex Craze I think you mean 4-16x and 6-24x. Not too mention that if you want to spend less, drop some of those features and get one of the original Vipers. Great turrets, decent glass, fantastic company to stand behind them and at a great price. Mike

    Rifle Scopes Understanding the Vortex Craze

    Re: Understanding the Vortex Craze A lot also has to do with the vendor community around here like Scott at Liberty Optics. They actually still understand what "customer service" is and respect that the customer is what keeps them in business. I won't do business with anyone else except the...

    Rifle Scopes Understanding the Vortex Craze

    Re: Understanding the Vortex Craze My first scope was the SS10x fixed. A fantastic scope for the money. And at the time, the max I was willing to spend on a scope. The next was a Viper that I bought used on here, actually from Ratbert above (thanks man) several years ago. The company's...

    Rifle Scopes SS 5-20 x50 HD Illuminated Reticle

    Re: SS 5-20 x50 HD Illuminated Reticle Mine does it too. Even at lower power settings it lights up a side of the reticle. Not a big deal since I don't normally use the illumination. Mike

    First competition, on my birthday too!

    Re: First competition, on my birthday too! I know for one thing I'm taking enough good ammo to get the job done. I think tactics wise I may sit closer to the experts to see if I can pace my self with them. Maybe sit just to their right so I can use my free eye to watch their wind flags...

    First competition, on my birthday too!

    Yesterday I was roped into my first .22 competition. I was shooting with a buddy when the normal Saturday group of old-timers started to show up for their .22 match. I had brought my .22 but the plan was to work on a load for my buddy's 7mm-08 and get him some more trigger time. He spoke up...

    Gunsmithing HS Precision Barrel channel off center

    Re: HS Precision Barrel channel off center A little of each technique I guess. I do use guide screws. They are basically just alignment studs to keep the action straight and true. Wrap them with a little tape to help center them in the action. As far as clean up, I do use the q-tip and...

    Gunsmithing HS Precision Barrel channel off center

    Re: HS Precision Barrel channel off center I've never used the surgical tubing but using tape on the barrel works perfectly to center it. Just try to be as even as possible when wrapping the tape on there. I normally use a little bit of tape on the tang to make sure its floated unless I...

    Gunsmithing HS Precision Barrel channel off center

    Re: HS Precision Barrel channel off center Skim bedding will straighten out the rifle just fine if done properly. There are a couple of tricks with tape around the barrel to do a stress free and straight bedding job. Check out the bedding threads around here. There are several with pics...

    Rifle Scopes SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy

    Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy I think the original design was just to have a center dot lit up. There is a bit of bleed out to the rest of the reticle. I kinda like it for now. I rarely use illumination and really could have done with out it but for now it works fine. Mike...

    Rifle Scopes Lefthanded Scope Placement

    Re: Lefthanded Scope Placement I have seen a few users do that and get away with it. One guy even went so far as to have a custom wind knob made so the numbers were right side up. It should work the same and it shouldn't hurt the scope to try it. If its a normal Mildot scope or duplex...

    Rifle Scopes Think I Found The One I Want (finally)

    Re: Think I Found The One I Want (finally) The PST scopes don't have turret covers. They are "exposed". The normal older Viper has turret covers. They are nice turrets and still adjustable by hand, just with removable covers. Mike

    Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy Dude, settle down. That was 3 weeks and 6 pages ago. Its a little late to puff your chest now. I would work harder on trying to prove the guy wrong, if that was your intention. Mike
