    Crf/mechanical ejection

    Smoother? No, I don't think there's an appreciable difference in the smoothness of an action based on CRF/PF

    Crf/mechanical ejection

    I always forget about that issue. This is a very valid point

    Crf/mechanical ejection

    That completely depends on your situation. Lots of people like the Bighorn TL3/Origin. I personally shoot an ARC Nucleus. There's tons of great actions out there. Curtis, Terminus, Impact, and Defiance all come to mind. What's your needs and wants for an action? To answer your original...

    Crf/mechanical ejection

    It almost necessitates it. The Kelbly Atlas Tactical and Black Bear Tactical are the only ones I know of that have a push feed mechanical ejection combo. It just makes it easier to mechanically eject the round when it's being held snugly against the bolt face by the extractor. There's no chance...

    ARC M10 Scope Rings

    They do come with instructions, yes. You need to level your scope manually (typically with a plumb bob or a level, plenty of sources for how to do that), but what makes them so easy is that they won't twist the scope off of plumb/level when you torque the rings.

    Anyone using Blackbranch bags?

    I love my Gecko II. I know Kevan, the guy who created the bag and started the company, great dude. The bag is a little large if you use it as a rear bag with a PRS style stock and a short bipod, but it's great on pretty much everything else. They ship it absolutely stuffed with fill (on...

    Surefire EP4 Earplugs Any Good?

    Yeah, you probably won't be able to hear .22 impacts at 300, but I am a big fan of the Surefire plugs. I've had both the flanged and foam pairs for a couple years now and they're the best plugs I've ever used.

    Rifle Scopes Gucci NRL .22 Optics

    They're all top tier optics. You will probably be happy with whichever one you choose. Me, I love my ZCO. It is the cream of the crop. Side-by-side with a 7-35 ATACR, the biggest thing I notice is the image size. The ATACR feels like looking through a toilet paper tube (everything does after...

    Rifle Scopes Gucci NRL .22 Optics

    7-35 ATACR focuses to 10m NX8 2.5-20 (and the 4-32) focuses to 11 yd ZCO 527 focuses to 25m Of the three, I own the ZCO. Even with the parallax disadvantage, it would still be my choice.

    Rifle Scopes Zero Compromise Optic update

    This is the biggest thing about the ZCO. Side-by-side, everything else looks like looking through a toilet paper tube. I've seen it side by side with the 7-35 ATACR and the NF felt really restrictive, lol. I don't even think I can get across how big the picture is from the ZCO. It's massive and...

    25x47 Lapua

    No problems at all that I've seen or heard of from anyone. Bushing die is all I use.

    25x47 Lapua

    In that case, Varget will be an excellent choice for the x47. Guys are seeing nodes around 37gr

    25x47 Lapua

    I've got a .280" bushing (probably more than I need) and a .255" mandrel. Gives a .002-.0025" neck tension and it's shot great for me so far. Also look into the H4350 burn rate for powder. Many guys have been getting better velocity with it if that's what you're after.

    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    You could also sand the grip down to fit your hands. That's a good benefit to the grip being wood. Shouldn't be too hard with a few pieces of sandpaper.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Bell taping... something else?

    The Cramer "tape" is really good for this. No real adhesive and only sticks to itself.

    Rifle Scopes Help ID Leupold scope...This is NOT a MK4 correct?

    I didn't even know there was a Premier Reticles version of this scope. If anything is, this is it though. It looks like the same Gen 2 mil dot as in the Premier 3-15x50.

    Rifle Scopes Help ID Leupold scope...This is NOT a MK4 correct?

    I'm no expert by any means, but it looks like you have a Mark 4 LR/T 3.5-10x40 with M3 dials. 1 MOA elevation, 1/2 MOA windage. Unless it's a fake (which used to happen with Leupolds a lot), I'd say you did pretty good for $500.

    Suppressors QuietBore 22LR Titanium Suppressor Build Review -***Approved Form 1 Required***

    So, when doing a Form 1, if you want QuietBore to engrave the markings on the tube before they send it to you, do you need to have the approval letter back to make sure you are approved before your serial number goes on a part?
