    Rifle Scopes Going to Germany... are Zeiss/Hensoldt scopes cheaper for US citizen to purchase

    You might want to get clarification on whether you need an import license to bring it in the country. I do not know if a license is required but if it is and the customs agent realizes you have having paperwork showing that a license is not needed would be prudent. You might want o put it in...

    6mm wagon...

    The 6mmBR is probably one of the most accurate round out to 500-600 yards in light to maybe moderate winds. Not only is it an amazingly accurate round it is extremely easy to find accurate reloads. I was developing a load for one of mine and varied the powder weight by 1.6 grains oit of a...

    Remington 700 VTR barrel switch

    You tell us, does it shoot well enough to put a smile on your face? Who cares if it is triangular if it shoots well? If it does ot shoot well enough spin the barrel off and either use a savage-style barrel nut and a matching barrel from someone like bugholes.com or take it to a gunsmith to...

    Gunsmithing Resizing 50 BMG to .375 cal.

    If you have the reamer you can make your own forming dies quite easily, take a cast off barrel at least 7/8" diameter thread it to 7/8x14. Chuck the threaded piece or better yet a collet, pre drill a hole that will allow the bushing to pass through if the caliber of the barrel is less than 7...

    Proof prefits for Stiller

    I have 2 Stiller predators Short Action one I purchased very soon after they started making them, the other was purchased 2-3 years later. I love the actions they have given me no trouble and have shot through maybe 9 barrels total, no idea as to round count but well over 10k split over the...

    Crowd-Funded Precision Shooting Studies??

    I very much like what padom is doing in 308win Bartlein 5R vs Krieger 4 Groove Accuracy Testing, bringing sound experimental design into our world of shooting is a plus. It takes time and money to investigate some of the nagging questions we shooters have, in light of that would we, the...

    Rifle Scopes Scopes Will Not Keep Zero, Help!

    This was what I was going to ask after reading the OP's postings, I used to see lots of guys resting their barrel on the rest, when I was not yet a member of a club with a rifle range and would have to go to a local range on their public days.

    Gunsmithing Understanding barrel condition

    I like to keep it simple so I can understand it, if the barrel will not shoot after a good cleaning and trying an assortment of known quaity ammo the barrel is crap. I think that borescopes should be used to evaluate how clean the barrel and not so much how the rifling or etc looks. If it is...

    Range Report Looking for an equation

    The previous poster gave you some great advice, directly to the sources. If you have had some numerical analysis, especially solving ordinary differential equations the second reference listed above will be enough aid to achieve what you want. In the event that the last sentence sounded like a...

    Gunsmithing Piercing primers in Remington700 6Gt

    Just reducing the diameter of the firing pin without bushing the bolt is going to make the piercing worse, as the clearance between the pin and the edge of the hole is greater allowing for more flow of the primer under pressure. The recommendation to get another 'smith was a good one. I would...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Vise and Action Wrench

    I have used my Viper barrel vise to remove a couple of Mauser 98 barrels that were assembled close to a 100 years ago and not treated in a pristine environment. The Viper vise choked on a couple of Howas and Tikkas. they required a relief cut. I thought I would add this as an additional data...

    On the fence about a 25 cal?

    The Blackjack bullets have definitely breathed life into the quarter bore, at least for precision shooters. I have always liked the 25-06 for hunting, my last buck was taken with one of my Mauser 98's in 25-06. A 10-point 20-inch spread, a good sized deer for the Upper Peninsula of Mich, taken...

    Gunsmithing Howa 1500 re-barrel

    Barreling a Howa 1500 is no different than any other except the 'smith has to have a lathe that cuts metric thread and a willingness to do so. I am no gunsmith but I have rebarreled two of my Howas on our lathe. The barrels are very tight, but I heard the hact trigger models barrels are not as...
