    Gunsmithing abrasive blasting with sand examples

    Re: abrasive blasting with sand examples Interesting. How uniform was the sand you used? The last time I looked at Play Sand it was terribly random sized. Some pieces the size of small pebbles to just powder. I didn't try it but it looks like you a got a decent finish with it. Are you...

    Re: A LOL purchase: BSA Sweet .22 from SWFA I just bought the Sweet 22 from SWFA and have it on my Savage MII FV-SR. Works pretty well. Clicks are a little weak but you can hear and feel them. Glass isn't bad. The best was the aluminum screw on lens covers. The last scope sat so low that...

    Next Project Savage FV-SR

    Re: Next Project Savage FV-SR Thought I would post a little update. I've since bedded the rifle and messed with the trigger springs to get a cleaner and crisper trigger release. Below is the latest test target from about 30 yards. As you can see, Wolf Match Extra performs...

    Re: ss moa travel My first scope was a SS10x and I was apparently spoiled. I didn't realize that 120MOA+ wasn't normal until my next "high-end" scope only had 68 MOA. Mike

    Rifle Scopes Help me decide. Vortex Razor 5-20 or IOR 3.5-18

    Re: Help me decide. Vortex Razor 5-20 or IOR 3.5-18 I don't have a Razor but have shot through one. I have owned an IOR 3-18 FFP. Glass quality was close but I'd give it to the Razor by a slim margin. Quality goes to the Razor hands down! Just looking at the numbers on the dials there is...
