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

    Re: Think I Found The One I Want (finally) I've had one for a while and live the original Viper. The PST's just give you exposed knobs and illumination. They also offer the PST in FFP. I've hunted with my Viper as well (6.5-20x50mm) and it worked flawlessly even in practical darkness. I...

    H-S Precision stocks

    Re: H-S Precision stocks I have a few HS stocks on my Savages. They have plenty of room, even on the LRPV model with a large shank bull barrel. And yes to the aluminum bedding block. Its not a V-block design like the Choates but a curved bed that almost fits the action. Still need to skim...

    Gunsmithing Bedding under barrel

    Re: Bedding under barrel I take it a step further now and gently round off the corners of the bedding material around the recoil lug to help avoid chipping. I've had two come back where the customer wiggled the action back and forth to get it out of the bedding and then chipped off the...

    Rifle Scopes Which Rings are the best bang for the buck

    Re: Which Rings are the best bang for the buck Those ARC rings are building a nice following too. If they were a little lower (price wise), I'd probably try a set. I love the out of the box thinking and design. Kinda like the SPUR rings. But for now, you are still paying for the idea as...

    Re: Got my SS 3-9 X scope in today "Can't believe I got to use this twice in one week." Now that's funny! Maybe he was thinking about that RainGuard stuff from Bushnell. Mike

    Gunsmithing Ok Savage Genius Gurus I've got a problem

    Re: Ok Savage Genius Gurus I've got a problem I've only come across it once so far. It was on an older rifle. Probably there to take some pressure off the head pin when torquing on the bolt to extract a magnum round. You could just grind it off with a dremel. It likely won't be needed if...

    Rifle Scopes Which Rings are the best bang for the buck

    Re: Which Rings are the best bang for the buck I've never had the Burris XTR rings but I think I may give them a try. I started off with the Burris Signature rings and really liked those. While not "Tacticool" they hold the scope tighter than you think and leave no marks at all. Just...

    AR Comp and Pro 2000 MR Range Report

    Re: AR Comp and Pro 2000 MR Range Report Nicely done sir. Looking at your 2000MR groups, POI is about the same. The 45.7 load looks like the scatter group. If going by the OCW method, generally 1-2% above the scatter group is a node, usually a good OCW. 1% more of the 45.7 is 46.16gn...
