    Leofoto tripods

    I experienced the first glitch with my Leofoto LN-364c this weekend during the GAP Grind. One of the leg glides/stops broke allowing the leg to drop out when lossened for adjustment. This was one area of concern as a weak point that I had when I first got it and took it apart for inspection.

    100mm to 75mm bowl adaptor.

    I seem to remember a thread a while back about adapting a RRS TA-3-LC leveling head to the larger tripods with a 100mm apex opening such as the Leofoto 404-c. I didn’t feel like searching for the thread so if this has been covered, oh well. I stumbled across a 100mm to 75mm adaptor that looks...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles K318i Just arrived brand new with scratched lenses

    EDMjustin, Don’t sweat it. Kahles will take care of it for you. I bought a second hand 624i a couple of years ago only to find it had a canted reticle. They took care of it quite promptly considering it had to go back to Austria. I had it back in 2 1/2 weeks and it has been a gem ever since. It...

    Flush Cups

    I swapped mine out myself. I clamped a 1/4” allen wrench with vise grips and heated it cherry red with a torch then stuck it in the socket with a little left handed twist. They started to unscrew in about 5 seconds. Then, just put epocy on the new ones and screw them in. Plan ahead and be...

    Thoughts on ruger sr22?

    The second worst trigger I have ever felt in a handgun, second only to a S&W sigma. It really is a shame because it is a neat little pistol otherwise.

    What is going on with my GAP rig?!

    You said that you don’t have a cover. It may be possible that mirage is screwing with you, it only takes a couple of rounds to get that hot. The way the shot pattern walked it’s way up, I would eliminate that from the equation before doing anything drastic.

    Leofoto tripods

    Update: I have had my L-364C tripod since December and I am still satisfied with it. Though I have not had a chance to put it to any heavy duty use, I haven't found any weaknesses yet. I did some night time coyote hunting with it over the winter in southern Illinois and the tripod functioned...

    Shoulder bump consistency?

    The outside of your cases looks to me like you may have brass galled inside of your die. Take your decpping pin out, clean the die with solvent and look inside with a flashlight. Milo 2.5 alluded to that already. If you have galling, it will be obvious to the eye. This brass really contrasts...

    Armageddon 58" PRECISION RIFLE CASE

    I also have one of the GA Precision basic rifle cases that is made by Armageddon. It is a lighter range duty case, but at $70, it is a good value also.

    6 Dasher, how are you doing it?

    I am hearing basically two camps on this topic and would like to hear about your process. One is, long free bore to “keep the bullet above the donut”. I also hear of people successfully running freebore lengths in the .104-.105” range. For those running the “shorter” freebores, how are you...

    Sling help

    I use the Tab Gear PRS slings and love them for match use. I think the biathlon would be a bit much for a hunting only rifle. A sling with too many buckles on it will be noisy. Keep it simple.
