    best calipers, preferably digital

    Good set of Mitutoyo or Starret are what I'd go with with , IF you have to have digital. I had 3 digital sets from different companies any none of them matched each other exactly. I pulled out my Dial Mitutoyo and I feel like they are way more repeatable. All of my sets were a decade old...

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    Yeah the bottom part is the issue. Like i said... maybe some dry lube will help. The top bowl moves smooth under pressure. I'll work more with it when the moly comes in.

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    I polished the bowl and head for the RT80c. After doing this it moves quite smoothly UNTIL I screw the bottom handle on. That is the part that binds up the most when moving the head, causing it to either have full lock up or no lockup. I have some molybdnum dry lube coming this week. Maybe that...

    What's this nonsense?

    I know it's hard to believe what any country says about another but this story says Iran is hacking MQ-9s n crashing them. What's really going on? https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-22/video-iran-hacks-centcom-crashes-mq-9-reaper-drone

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    I'll probably do that this week and see where it goes. I might as well get the molybednum too. It cant really hurt. The only downfall i see is that the head gets some micro abrasions from the bowl. I removed all of the machining marks.. So who knows. I'll get some molybednum this week and do a...

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    I've sanded my bowl and tripod interface to 1500. Would finishing it to a real polish help much more.. would adding a molybednum disulfide between them help even more?

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    When I ordered my 80c from Amazon it came with a leveling head. I'm in the process of sanding n polishing it to see how much I can improve it. Maybe I'll add some molybednum when I'm done n see how smooth I can get it.

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    Unless you're exotically tall, the 90c/80c will do what you need without the inclusion of a center post on the 85C (which adds some instability).

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR3!!!

    I was looking around some scope offerings and I am curious if anyone has done a side-by-side test with the XTR3 3.3-18 and the LRTS/LRHS 4.5-18 scopes. Now I know prices isnt exactly the same...But how do they compare? Do they compare? What are your thoughts?

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    What was wrong with the rt80c leveling base? I purchased the RT80c off amazon and it came with a solid base and leveling base. Did you discard the stock one?

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    I am using the RT80C For glassing out of my front porch and its working quite well. I built a rifle vice for it, once we get some warm weather i'll give it a run.

    Range Report Best 100y drill?

    If you want to work on your abilities try to shoot with a bunch of puffy layers on in the snow vs not many layers in the comfortable summer weather. This winter has challenged me for sure

    Long term storage

    Shrink wrap with dessicant inside package. Place shrink wrapped package in hermetically sealed case with dessicant in it.. You should have an indefinite shelf life on that

    Another Muzzle Brake thread

    I'm looking to swap out my Muzzle brake on my 300 WM. I think it has a shrewd (holes all around the entire brake) and I would like to get something with just side porting. I would also like something that is two piece that I can line up (time) on my own. My barrel is currently threaded in...

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon,Leupold or hunting scope options

    For 300 yards I dont see why a VX3 wouldn't fit the budget, If you have to have one of those brands. I can appreciate that your son wants a scope that has all the features yours does... But if you are on a budget you are moreover looking at what he needs instead. Does he need a 6x zoom ratio...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Engage Rifle Scope

    I bought one for my brother. It was clear n has a great feature set for the price. I didn't test total tracking but it worked good for shooting out to 300 yards with a 270. The glass was a bit nicer than my 4200 n lasted past dark a tiny bit longer. The turrets feel plasticy and it doesn't...

    Calipers

    I've used two different digital calipers and they both had issues. One was a tool shop beans and the other was an old digital mitoyoyo. They never measured the same so I got my mitoyoyo dial calipers from the shop and they have really helped. I trust them more than any digital caliper I've had.
