    Building first rifle, got some questions

    Re: Building first rifle, got some questions I hear ya Peepaw. I don't see myself making any big changes for a while. I may replace the factory bottom metal so I can get a little more torque on the action screws. Other than that, I think it's just going to be trying different loads and...

    Building first rifle, got some questions

    Re: Building first rifle, got some questions Well, finally got back to the range today. Fired 60 rounds of Hornady 168gr A-max. They were rounds 81-140 through the gun. First sheet was zeroing and getting used to the new trigger. I think it is set a little too light for me. Second sheet...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3200 sale

    Re: Bushnell Elite 3200 sale I have one of those mounted on my wifes .17HMR Browning T-bolt. It is a nice scope and works well for her. The only thing I don't really care for is the parallax focus being up front on the objective. Bob

    Rifle Scopes Most Rugged Close Range??

    Re: Most Rugged Close Range?? I've never even noticed the short eye relief on the TA31 (4x)as I shoot it with my nose touching the charging handle for any shot other than CQB. And I'm sure I'm real close then too. Bob

    Rifle Scopes ROOKIE NEEDS HELP/SUGGESTIONS

    Re: ROOKIE NEEDS HELP/SUGGESTIONS Just to add one more thing to what I said above, especially if you're going to go with a SFP scope; take a look at the Bushnell 4200 Elite Tactical 6-24x50. This scope has recently been discontinued but is still available at the top end of your price range...

    Rifle Scopes ROOKIE NEEDS HELP/SUGGESTIONS

    Re: ROOKIE NEEDS HELP/SUGGESTIONS The FFP can be nice but it is not without its downside also. At low magnification it can be hard to see the reticle. I've never owned or even fielded a FFP scope but I have shot them. On my first personally owned long gun, I went with a Bushnell Elite 6500...

    Rifle Scopes Most Rugged Close Range??

    Re: Most Rugged Close Range?? I had a lot of deployments under my belt (combat and otherwise) before I retired in '08. As an Infantryman, I was rough on my equipment. Not abusive but, you just can't help biting the dust occasionally when your the flanking element at night in an unknown palm...

    Where to get OD green scope caps?

    Re: Where to get OD green scope caps? Ok. I am impressed with the results that some have achieved then. I may give it a try. I've tried painting them years ago but the paint just peeled off in a short time. Perhaps the modern paint formulations are much more suited than the stuff we used to...

    Where to get OD green scope caps?

    I have seen what appear to be Butler Creek flip up scope caps made in OD on several rifles here on the Hide. Done several searches with no luck. Can anyone point me to the source for these things? Bob

    Which sight for m4 afghanistan

    Re: Which sight for m4 afghanistan 11B? Ft Riley? Big Red One? Here's how it will go down. He'll be assigned to a mechanized unit (which will likely only have HMMWV's in Afganistan). Everyone there will be a cowboy with eighteen different attachments on their M4. He'll either be a driver or a...

    Building first rifle, got some questions

    Re: Building first rifle, got some questions Took it to the range yesterday. I will post some pics of groups later but overall I didn't shoot well. It was pretty windy and the X-mark trigger absolutely sucks. It was very inconsistent. I didn't try adjusting it or oiling it so maybe I didn't...

    Building first rifle, got some questions

    Re: Building first rifle, got some questions Well, I've got it pretty much together. Haven't bought a trigger for it but, I think I should shoot it first and see if I hate it. I skim bedded the scope base with JB Weld and made my own bolt handle then sprayed a coat of Krylon ultra flat OD...
