    Should we stock up on "Assault Weapons"?

    Re: Should we stock up on "Assault Weapons"? I'm just going to wait for one of the barely used ones to pop up in the classifieds. The panic buying just sucks. Restricting firearms any further is too politically costly. In other words, not worth it to Dems any more than seriously doing...

    Doubts about 7mm-08

    Re: Doubts about 7mm-08 To me, for long range shooting a dinky little rifle like I'm talking about isn't going to cut the mustard. So that's not even a consideration. Given that in a 20 mph wind, using the same velocity, there's a 1.8" difference in drift @ 300 yards it isn't going to be...

    Doubts about 7mm-08

    I've been a .308 shooter for a long time, have all the match dies, etc. I occasionally look at 7mm-08 because some of the bullets for hunting are getting some attractive G7 BCs (e.g. the Berger Classic Hunter 168 gr. @ .309 or the new Nosler bullet...although I don't trust their BC number like I...

    short mags for OBR?

    My Google Fu fails me. Are there short mag options that will fit a Larue OBR? I don't mean restricting a 20-rd mag...just something that won't snag when hunting.

    Gunsmithing Cerakote referrals

    Re: Cerakote referrals Ernie (Red Creek Tactical) did one for me and it was just what I wanted. He also can do Cerakote's DFAC coating for bolts and other parts that need lubrication.

    Mounting a Atlas - rail or a spigot

    Re: Mounting a Atlas - rail or a spigot I'm not familiar with that stock but have gone rail-mounted on both H-S stocks and the KMW Sentinel. Having went from a 9-13" Harris to the Atlas, I was used to the taller height so the shorter Atlas seems just right to me mounted on a rail. Of course...

    Rifle Scopes Rule of thumb for lapping

    Re: Rule of thumb for lapping I've never seen ring marks using either Seekins or a NF unimount. So would agree: Don't lap. Just buy good rings and bases.

    Gunsmithing Some short barrel questions for the pros

    Re: Some short barrel questions for the pros Using JBM's stability calc, I ran the Berger 175 OTM (1.268") and would feel comfortable using an 11.25 twist on a short barrel. I set MV @ 2300 fps, the temp down to 0 F and left the pressure high (29.92). Stability was still 1.513, which for that...

    Rifle Scopes Newbie needs help choosing Base, Rings and Scope.

    Re: Newbie needs help choosing Base, Rings and Scope. I used to have that same rifle and under just about any .308 ballistic scenario, a 20MOA rail will be just right. I prefer Seekins bases and rings but there are certainly others of similar quality. As for a scope, what ranges and what kind...

    GAP, SURGEON, or MCMILLAN TAC

    Re: GAP, SURGEON, or MCMILLAN TAC If I was going to wait I'd also consider a KMW build on a Sentinel stock. I sorta went that route...got the stock from Terry and the rest of the build was done by Southern Precision (bugholes). No offense to SP 'cause Greg did fantastic work, but the stock is...

    Range Report 7mm-08 vs .308 Help

    Re: 7mm-08 vs .308 Help I do like the Berger 175 OTMs in .308 and there are some other reasons I stuck with it on my last build. But man, when you look at the BCs for 7mm projectiles! I might do another in 7mm-08.

    Gunsmithing So what's the best bedding compound?

    Re: So what's the best bedding compound? Devcon 10110...although I had to order it. The stuff available locally was not the same item, although similar in name. I just used clear shoe polish for release, with no problems, but there's some commercial product (Dixon recommends) you might consider.

    Range Report Zeroing Temp on shooter app

    Re: Zeroing Temp on shooter app If you zero @ 100 yards it really doesn't matter what temperature, pressure or altitude settings are. You need to enter the current atmospheric settings when shooting at distances past your (relatively short) zero. The preference is always to avoid having to...
