    Pre-purchasing a Rifle?

    Re: Pre-purchasing a Rifle? The FACT that they are 6g's plus without any scope!!! Really, shoot something standard, get a one hole group for 5 at 100, read wind, etc. before you think you need something like that. Friend who shot one wasn't very impressed.

    bolt rifle for a youth

    Re: bolt rifle for a youth You have to pick him up a 243. 223 is great, but illegal in some areas to hunt deer with. 243 is a ripper, flat and fast. Sure you burn out a barrel quicker than the 308, but you can shoot it longer per outing and for a boy thats what you want. Grab cheap...

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide Bedded. I'm not sure if they used the Badger supplied ones or made their own in house, but they are bedded. With the ammo, I believe they only wanted 1 moa. Irishshooter, good for you with making a semi clone and it works for you. There are some points with my build...

    A quick review on AI's cleaning kit for AE and AW

    Re: A quick review on AI's cleaning kit for AE and AW With that style of jag, I usually cut patches in half (triangles) and pin closer to one point on the jag then wrap. Fairly tight but can get it through the bore.

    Prvi Partizan .308

    Re: Prvi Partizan .308 drmarc was right on. DO NOT chase the bull with this ammo. I had a hell of a time thinking well, maybe that was me or the scope, should I adjust, etc. I have now used this for friends who want to go shoot who are first timers. They get enough out of it, but if you...

    I don't care for heights...

    Re: I don't care for heights... I've been in a few silica plants and they have tons of floors with just grate floors, really fu*^s with you when you are walking around. Way worse than solid footing, just a mind thing. P-dog, not sure I can do it for long either, haven't had to walk that...

    Gunsmithing Theoretical Question

    Re: Theoretical Question tepeter1, I have to say you are one of the rare few that have come on here with a pretty good thought in the first few posts of his career (although long). Good for you, interesting idea. I hope you run with it and get done. I like the guys that come with an out of...

    Bolt face deformed?

    Re: Bolt face deformed? Remington screw up? Give them a call and see what they say. You might have to email them some pictures, but they should be able to see that they (seem) were there before coating as coating is intact.

    Re: How many running Non DBM by choice? Upgrades? You can trim the stamped follower ears down and can fit 5 under the closed bolt. This would give you 6 with one in the chamber. Chad

    m40a3 desert camo help

    Re: m40a3 desert camo help Why would you base coat in OD? Stock is the same. Spray with tan and go from there. I'd show pics, but my nuts may be a bit smaller than yours.

    School the new guy (budget build)

    Re: School the new guy (budget build) Oh and for about the same cash as that stock you can usually find a used PSS stock up for sale. Some don't like them, I don't mind them at all. Have a largish palm swell, but having bigger hands I like it. Just another FYI and they are usually in the...

    School the new guy (budget build)

    Re: School the new guy (budget build) I'd go scope and base and wait for tuning. Most people are shooting worse than their guns are off the bat. If you are concerned about it, get a pal that shoots to fire off a few rounds and he can tell you if it is the rifle or the shooter. Glass can...

    Rifle Scopes Elevation Adjustment Use Up Windage?

    Re: Elevation Adjustment Use Up Windage? The last few seem to be leaning more towards what I think you are asking. Yes, the more elevation you use up in your scope, the less windage you will have. The canted bases allow more elevation up and from your thinking will allow more windage for...

    Building a Smokeless Muzzleloader on a 700 Rem.

    Re: Building a Smokeless Muzzleloader on a 700 Rem. "The goal I am trying to match with this build is 4 MOA or so we are on the same page a 4 inch group at 400 yards." Quick heads up: 4" group at 400 yards would be 1 MOA. Small sure, but doable without blueprinting. Another thing would be...
