    PIG saddle and Ball-head ?

    Beleiver in AR lapping

    Actually, I think there is a business opportunity here. I am not a machinist but look at all the shops that are "truing" bolt actions and the market options that created. Now consider all the comments on the web about the challenges of making AR10's shoot well.... Kind of wish a shop like LRI...

    Rifle Scopes BC Flip up sizes

    Rob01 - question on this response. For me it was not about the price but the quality of the defender caps. It's not that they are poorly made but it seemed that they were so flexible/stretchy that they do not stay in place well and they slip around and come out of position when they are opened...

    Agree, some sorting is needed to get through the thread but some good information to be sure. Based some things shared, I started checking some parts and found that there is typically more variation in how square the face of some AR style uppers are than compared to my experience with M700 bolt...

    Truing MV vs. BC

    Thanks, I'm no way as experienced as you men so I learn a lot here. It is usually right on but I don't have a place to shoot past 600. The wind is a bigger challenge for me than drop.

    Truing MV vs. BC

    I saw this the other day but did not fully understand it i guess. Right now my Kestrel is set using the custom drag profile from the AB Library for this bullet and I'm not sure where I would enter in these "mach" values in my AB profile loader or how to make that work. Might have to reach out to...

    Truing MV vs. BC

    Interesting thread.....but I am confused. I use the custom profile provided for my bullet from the library. Do this mean I need to manually tweak my BC rather use the custom profile?
