    Rifle Scopes Jackass bent my NXS

    Re: Jackass bent my NXS I say get it fixed...you obviously care about your equipment like I tend to do. I just lost an in-tank fuel pump in my Firebird. It's gonna cost me over 6 bills unless I take the time to drop the rear end myself. There's no warranty on it. Life happens. TC

    Rifle Scopes Anyone use a SWFA SS 3-9x42 on their hunting rig?

    Re: Anyone use a SWFA SS 3-9x42 on their hunting rig? If you have time to check and re-zero a scope before taking a shot, there is also time to remove the tape and dial it in. If not, it's confidence inspiring to know that rough handling hasn't changed the zero, and won't change it, unless...

    Powder Mixing

    Re: Powder Mixing You guys are very cautious and that is always a good thing, but the effects of mixing 85 grains of Varget with 3/4 pound of RE-15 would be insignificant. It's a good idea to mix the two bottles of RE-15 anyway to give a consistent lot of powder. But do what ever makes...

    Rifle Scopes hunting scope

    Re: hunting scope A hunting scope should be light, rugged and inexpensive, the Leupold FX3 6x is an excellent choice. The FX2 6x36 is pretty close. These are very user friendly scopes...glass is clear and bright, FOV is excellent, and 6x is enough mag for 600 yd shots easy. Illumination...

    Gunsmithing will the bolt work?

    Re: will the bolt work? It would be cheaper in the long run to start out with an action with the correct bolt face...not to mention the feeding issues...the short mags are completely different. If I had a chance to buy a 300 SAUM cheap, I would keep it a 300 SAUM...great round. TC
