    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    I've been extremely happy with my EP4 4-14. It's glass is on par with the Athlon ERES ERT I have and also PST Gen II. The tracking is more accurate than that of my PST.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 4500

    Scopes don't get torqued....rings do. Go by what the rings say.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig 365

    GREAT GUN!!!! Trying to find any gun right now is going to be difficult, but especially a good one. I think I recently saw an ad at Palmetto State Armory for one...not sure tho. I got mine at Ft. Lewis AAFES. If you can try your local Exchange.

    Gunsmithing Help deciphering bore scope pics

    That is quite normal for a savage barrel. They look like someone drove a D-8 cat down the bore, but they normally shoot very well with the right load. I would check to make sure the barrel is free float and try different action screw tensioning. Also check different weight and brands of ammo.

    Savage .338 Lapua

    I've got one of the original 110BA 338LM and it shoots amazing!!! It really likes the 300SMK loads from Black Hills, Corbon loads are a lot hotter, but shoot them well too. Reloads with 285 HPBT over Retumbo is simply outstanding!!
