    National Match M1A--what to do with it?

    Re: National Match M1A--what to do with it? The M1-A is capable of MOA accuracy, but not every rifle will do it. It requires some tuning by someone who knows the platform. The average decent rifle should shoot 2" or better with good ammo, so if your rifle does that with the ammo you are using...

    saiga vs mini 14

    Re: saiga vs mini 14 AR is too heavy? Use a 16" standard profile barrel...the rest is aluminum and plastic. The new minis do shoot a little better. Ruger finally decided to improve them a tiny amount after selling junk for 30 years, so their customers could have more faith in the improved...

    Range Report Is my MV off, or am I not converting mils right?

    Re: Is my MV off, or am I not converting mils right? In order for your range data to be correct in mils, your velocity would have to be greater than 3000fps. I doubt that is the case, so you may be mis-reading your scope turrets as well. If there was one piece of accurate data available...

    167gr Lapua Scenars

    Re: 167gr Lapua Scenars Shardy, I was actually responding to KSPs questions. A heavier bullet will not give better wind numbers unless the heavier bullet also has a higher BC...high enough to compensate for the lower velocity. The 175 SMK has a better BC than the 155 Scenar. The two are...

    167gr Lapua Scenars

    Re: 167gr Lapua Scenars So there would be a disadvantage at long range to switching over to the 167 if the 155 Scenar is already working for you. If you are only shooting to 600 yards or so, 168gr loads like Fed GMM are accurate in most rifles. A 10 twist is not a disadvantage to working up...

    167gr Lapua Scenars

    Re: 167gr Lapua Scenars Well, since the 167 Scenar has a lower BC than the 155, it does not perform as well at extended range...that is the main reason why it is not a popular choice. TC

    Switching bolts between M1A rifles?

    Re: Switching bolts between M1A rifles? I think you have some minor problems, and it sounds like you may be able to fix them on your own. First of all...you can't just swap bolts. They are an armorer hard-fit item. You can have the headspace checked, but I have not seen h/s to be a problem...

    New member budget build

    Re: New member budget build I wouldn't buy a Savage on the basis that it is less expensive. Savage has raised their prices quite a bit, and they are not less expensive these days. For medium range paper punching, you don't need a custom build, and for a non-reloader, it is going to be harder...

    Do Cali AW laws apply to mag fed bolt guns?

    Re: Do Cali AW laws apply to mag fed bolt guns? California gun laws seem to have been written with the intention of being confusing, which is why a lawsuit was filed several years ago that ended up in a court victory for 2A supporters. What you do have to be careful of in Cali is running...

    Rifle Scopes 20' MOA base or not?

    Re: 20' MOA base or not? You want to go with the 20 MOA base because #1 it keeps the scope more centered optically at long range, and #2 because you may put a different scope on it in the future. The 20 MOA is a win/win. TC

    Rifle Scopes Anybody hunt whitetail with QD scope mounts?

    Re: Anybody hunt whitetail with QD scope mounts? QD rings will work for what you want to do, but what kind of rings are you using now? Standard Weaver rings are very easy to remove if you have a short screwdriver or a dime in your pocket...a simple solution is often one that works out best...

    Coating bullets with hBN, with pics!

    Re: Coating bullets with hBN, with pics! For maximum effect, the first time before shooting the coated bullets, clean the bore to bare metal with copper solvent, then pre-treat the bore with a wet patch with hBn suspended in alcohol. TC

    300 win mag VS 30-06

    Re: 300 win mag VS 30-06 The Tikka Tactical is an excellent long range rifle just as it is. 300 WM is a great round, but I don't see the need for casual paper punching to 1000 yds. The 308 is fine for that use, and with better bullets, the 308 will go farther. That money can be put...

    Gunsmithing Silver Soldering Barrel Nut?

    Re: Silver Soldering Barrel Nut? You want the barrel aligned the same way every time. Your POI changes are more likely due to bore runout variation than headspace variation... same thing really. It would be a simpler solution to make a timing mark on the barrel and receiver, and use barrel...

    FN PBR

    Re: FN PBR Does the rifle not shoot well in the Hogue stock it came with? The Hogue stock they ship with these has a full aluminum skeleton and is actually a pretty solid stock. These rifles usually shoot well in them. Stock availability is very limited for these with the DBM, but the...

    LOOKING AT A 300WM 5R

    Re: LOOKING AT A 300WM 5R It's a great rifle and a good choice for a 2nd rifle. It's not as good a choice for a novice shooter. The recoil, weight, expense and shorter barrel life are the negatives. Past 1000 yds it's a winner over the 308, but range can be had from a smaller caliber like...
