    36 yard zero

    Wilburforce's table above is misleading - no-one runs a 1.5" sight above bore height optic or sights. Try 2.5".

    Noob question on starting a new rifle

    The fallback break-in most will reference is - shoot 1 shot and clean, 5 times. Then 5 shots and clean, 2 times. Then 10 shots and clean, and be done with it. The point of impact may continue to move around on you for the next 20-100 rounds. Don't let that bother you as you get settled on a...

    I got my Novice with 5 WPM code back in the 80s using a Gordon West book and cassette tape. Good stuff. General w 13 wpm code achieved in 1989.

    So I need to relocate.

    A bud of a bud thought it would be cool to drive close to with their mirror and roll coal on a cyclist in Kalispell. $1440 in fines later he found out how uncool it was. Dicks are dicks, regardless of the color of the state. Don't be one for the sake of being one.

    Fieldcraft Ham Radio Contact

    Low bands won't be "plug and play" for you or anyone else. You need to understand basic radio theory, how antennas work, how to use an antenna analyzer, how to tune antennas without an automatic tuner, etc. You can try plug and play, though will experience very few if any QSOs along with most...

    Rebarreling a US-1917 Remington 30-06 IMP to .338 LaPua Mag

    NO, you are wrong, as is everyone else that inappropriately mixes the labels of the two rifles. Regardless of who designed it, the Brits called the rifle in 303 one thing consistent with their naming conventions and the yanks called the 30-06 one consistent with the naming conventions of US...

    Rebarreling a US-1917 Remington 30-06 IMP to .338 LaPua Mag

    No such thing as an "Enfield P-17". There's a Pattern 14 Enfield in 303 we built for the brits, and a US Model of 1917 we built for ourselves in 30-06. Yes you could do it, as an exercise in novelty perhaps, but beyond that the build would be ill advised in 2020 with all the other much better...

    Learn the process for rifle with a single stage. Know it cold. Then, and only then, consider rifle with a progressive. Otherwise you will have limited troubleshooting skills and will be at minimum frustrated, and most likely dangerous.

    Progressive for rifle puts you in the land of diminishing returns and high on the frustration scale. For moderately priced progressives, you still have to do multiple steps to prep a rifle case. Very little time if any is saved without investing in the 8 station units. A Dillon Square Deal...

    Cut and pasted from my other post on a 40X trainer package - thought I'd put it here without the BA as well: AICS 1.5 - This stock is available as well, as part of a package with the rifle, or separately. Stock has had 2 modifications - one, it was skim bedded to mate up with a slightly...
