    Scope movement

    Some of the first things to check are do your rings have a space between the top and bottom, when they are set, or are they bottoming out. Sometimes they are bored a little to big and do not really tighten. The next thing is to check that you have clearance between your barrel and the stock...

    What adjustable cheek rest is this?

    Results for PARTS-MATERIALS:Cheekrests Here is the web page for Stocky's Karsten cheek riser. I have 3, 2 with the recessed locking nut and 1 with the hand turn nuts. With a bolt gun you have to lower the rest or take it off or take the rifle out of the stock, to clean it. With the hand turn...

    Rifle Scopes Learned My Lesson: Swapping Scope Between Rifles

    I have a high tech way of knowing where my zero is, on all of my scopes, without zero stops. When I get it zeroed and have set the adjusting knobs to zero for both the elevation and windage, I take my high tech fine point white or silver marker and make a line on the turrets, then when I have...

    Rifle Scopes The truth about Leupold thread

    I have a number of Leupold scopes and have never had a problem with them. The Mark 4 scopes are expensive, but not anywhere near the Night Force. I have 2 VX-2's, 2 VX-3's and 1 Mark-4. I had taken the Mark-4, a 6.5x20 off from my .308 40x and put it on a .284 40X that I built last year. When I...

    Vietnam M70 thread

    You want to check the action length, as the post 64 is about 1/4" longer than the pre 64, so the stocks will not interchange, but can be reworked if you really want to use one on the other. Also, there were some post 64 Model 70's used, that were gotten from some PX's and reworked, before the...

    F T/R Competition F-class shooters bottom of the barrel, really?

    I shoot HP Prone (sling shooter), but I like to shoot against people that are good, and I keep track of our scores and when we are real close, it makes me bear down and pick up those extra few points. That is also how you get over getting uptight and nervous, and be doing the shooting as a...

    F T/R Competition Alaska Rifle Club 2013 Mid-Range Matches

    No, you do not need to go to a briefing. The club is running the match at Pedneau, and we have people who are certified to run military ranges, and when we sign in for the range we list the individuals. During the winter and spring we apply for using the range on certain dates, for the shooting...

    All day carry

    I carry all day, every day. I've tried different things over the years and always go back to either a full size 1911 or a Combat Commander. I find the IWB hard to get at and use one of my Askin's types on a belt. If you use a left hand, or right hand on left side, and run the belt on the outside...

    CMP Special Grade Garand

    Several guy's that I shoot with have gotten them, and they are pretty good. Not NM but fit and function well. Be aware that the .308 version can not be used in CMP Garand matches, only matches that allow match Garand's, as they were not made until the late 50's. The case they come in is very...

    Run what you brung

    For a new person who is just starting shooting, they are better off getting a good factory Varmint rifle, Savage, Remington, Winchester, etc., a good scope with click adjustments and spend the other $2000/3000 on ammo or reloading and when the barrel needs changing they should have an idea of...

    Gunsmithing HS Precision Stock, barrel clearance

    I just tried putting my 40XB .22LR Heavy Barrel in a HS PST 008 that I have set up on a 40XB .308 repeater, with a DBM set up for Alpha magazines and it fits fine. There is between 1/16 and 1/8 inch clearance around the barrel.

    AW/AE/AICS mag diffrences

    Alpha makes magazines that are set up for short magnums. They hold 7 rounds instead of 10, because of the fatter case.

    The 308 at 1000 yards??

    I use the Sierra 175 MK out of a 27 inch Shillen barrel, with a lot of rounds through it. At 200 ft. ASL using Lapua brass I get about 2780 and using Winchester I get about 2720. I use a Leopold MK4 6.5X20 with M1 dials, on a 20 minute base. Where I shoot 1000 yards, the elevation is about 1200...
