    First Precision Rifle

    Re: First Precision Rifle Certainly the advice of shooting more is noted. The ammo I used is Federal 165 Gr. Vital Shok. I know the FGMM would be better for target practice but I may be doing some hunting with the gun so I thought I would stick with hunting ammo for now. Yes, I believe...

    First Precision Rifle

    Re: First Precision Rifle Now that I think about it I could get some sort of picatinny rail riser that attachs to my picatinny base and then gives me a little more height. That would probably solve that problem. Here's a group I shot yesterday...I'm not that experienced and I don't have...

    My first long range rig

    Re: My first long range rig I'm also interested in the bolt knob question. I have a Night Vision scope that I want to use but the bolt is too close to it to open. With the day scope it's ok but there isn't much room there by any means.

    First Precision Rifle

    Re: First Precision Rifle Ok thank you for the tips. It looks good where the bolt handle is I think. I have a question. I have a Yukon NVRS-F Gen. 1 night vision scope that I bought. Kind of cheesy I know. Unfortunately I found that when I mount it to this gun I can't open the bolt...

    First Precision Rifle

    Nothing special yet. An SPS Tactical in .308, Harris Bipod, 15 MOA EGW base, and a Bushnell Elite Tactical 5-15X. Haven't fired it yet, will soon. I see what everyone means about the stock touching when it rests on the bipod. Might not touch on mine but it's very close. A stock upgrade will...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite Tactical 3200 5-15X Questions

    Re: Bushnell Elite Tactical 3200 5-15X Questions Well I exaggerated a little..it was $339 from here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UI24WY/ref=ox_ya_os_product Now they have raised it to $399 since I bought it last week. Not sure what that is all about.

    XLR Chassis Stock

    Re: XLR Chassis Stock This has probably been answered somewhere in here, but with a Remington 700 action with a heavy 20" barrel about how much does one of these chassis weigh?

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite Tactical 3200 5-15X Questions

    Re: Bushnell Elite Tactical 3200 5-15X Questions Not sure what I was thinking about the focus numbers...they do line up I was just having a bad spell when I first looked at it I guess. After further inspection and downloading the correct manual from Bushnell I agree that it is 15X which is...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite Tactical 3200 5-15X Questions

    Just received my scope today. I'm new at this game and I know this is a budget scope so bear with me. I assume this is a second focal plane scope and if so is there a particular power I need to be at to use the Mil Dots? The focus adjustment doesn't line up very well with its marks...is there...

    Weatherby Vanguard?

    Re: Weatherby Vanguard? After I adjusted the trigger and put some oil on it last night it feels a little better. Weatherby does not want you to mess with the "creep" screw. Any thoughts on that? Obviously it's not worth making the gun unsafe so my thought is I shouldn't touch it. How much...

    Re: Weatherby Vanguard? Ok, thanks for your help guys.

    Weatherby Vanguard?

    Re: Weatherby Vanguard? Thank you for your help. The trigger also feels like it has little travel and is kind of abrupt. I think I will take it apart and see if I can lube or adjust it to see if it gets any better.

    Weatherby Vanguard?

    Re: Weatherby Vanguard? It's on a wood stock. Not really sure which specific model this was originally.

    Weatherby Vanguard?

    Re: Weatherby Vanguard? When I say "tactical" I guess I mean a scope that can be dialed. Other than a reticle I don't see how you're going to measure holdovers to shoot longer than 250 yards or so. Then again I'm new at this so I only know what I have managed to read or find here and there...

    Weatherby Vanguard?

    I'm trying to get into some long range shooting just for fun. I inherited a Weatherby Vanguard in 30-06 that is maybe 10 or 15 years old but has only had a few rounds through it. Is this gun even worth putting a tactical scope on and trying some long range shots? I tried the dollar bill...
