    Kestrel Rant

    I don't own or use a Kestral, but I so have lots of other AA battery driven devices. Is it so much trouble, when packing your range bag, to drop in a new battery? Is it so much trouble, when coming home, to remove the battery from the device? The thing was not designed to be a 24/7 weather...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss V6 Tracking

    18 ft/lb, are you sure? That seems way high to me, about what I would use on a 5/16 bolt.

    Muzzle Brake Thread Pitch Change

    You could go up in size and use a bushing. Down, or near same size but different pitch is going to require machining.

    Suppressors Muzzle abnormality ? (w/photos) - Tikka CTR

    You don't have to cut anything off that barrel, Just have a machinist trim the unthreaded portion down to the root diameter of the threads. Most lathes will take this and if needed use a 4 jaw chuck to center up the bbl to perfection with small leather strips to avoid marring the barrel...

    RPR scope mounting

    Even if he were unable to achieve a zero at 100 yards, the combination would still be functional and he could quickly learn where to hold to hit 100 yards as well. In short, it is just a convention to zero at 100 yards so that everything will be up from there out. Zero is still zero and you...

    AR10 - Case head blowout

    I don't have a calibrated eyeball to tell very much from the pictures. Case head separation without signs of severe over pressure (although those primers look pretty flat) would get me asking "once fired in what?". Only time I have seen that was when I was shooting some multi-time fired Federal...

    I can't shoot to save myself

    Well, you never showed your point of aim so how are we to determine your scope settings for you. If you are trying to center that dot under your cross hairs, you are doing yourself a disservice. Why? Cause you are trying to determine a location in two axis at the same time. Pick a quadrant and...

    Caldwell Lead Sled FCX

    I finally found a good use for mine. It holds my damn rifle up for cleaning the bore. I found it less than worthless for load development and or even zeroing a rifle. Unless you want to lug the thing around while hunting or even at the range, why own one. It won''t do anything to teach you how...

    RPR chrome moly

    Sigh! I know, I know. I just like knowing this stuff. Been into things like this most of my life and marketing jabber just pisses me off. The why and the wherefore is what makes the stuff work. I will research the product a lot more than most when it comes time to select new equipment or...

    sight height

    I usually go from the center of the windage turret to the center of the bore. You can OCD this stuff if you want but a calibrated eyeball brings me close enough. I may or may not refine data later depending on what my POI looks like at various distances but comparing 100 and 500 data to what...

    RPR chrome moly

    Yeah, along with little things like heat treating and stress relief. By themselves, the terms are meaningless. Nice for marketing to say like "aircraft aluminum". Doesn't convey any useful information though.

    RPR chrome moly

    Two completely meaningless terms without reference to specific alloys.

    Why do my groups look like this?

    I'm going to add some little tricks that have helped me with the mental game of shooting as well as the physical. #1. Forget groups shoot individual dots. This should remove some of the stress encountered when building a group. #2. Pick an edge or a corner for your point of aim. Those...

    Longer, heavier barrel

    That Pierce action is one rigid SOB. Has one by AO on my 6.5 CM, didn't really need it but I was real happy with the performance. I bought the gun used here on the hide. Was in a AIAX chassis and it was pretty much a hammer.

    AI AT Action Face Dings

    No, it shouldn't be a problem, I would maybe run a flat stone to remove any high spots but not a very aggressive stone and not more than a couple of strokes. If the stone shows any high spots just keep stroking a bit. Those tiny things are not gonna raise much material and typical barrel...

    Welder opinion

    I'm with the majority here, if there really is one.. Red in the field and blue in the shop. I had always just used buzz boxes for most of my shop work. I had a pro come buy one day to do a welded repair on a boiler. I was drawn to the lovely crisp sizzle his machine made and got out my helmet...

    Loaded bipod/free recoil

    Free recoil might have a different definition for you than for me. Free recoil, to me, means that no part of the rifle touches the shoulder either during the release of the shot or during recoil. Not loading a bipod but shouldering the rifle is NOT free recoil.

    You may shut the f--- up!" the woman, Caren Z. Turner

    Heinous bitch would be too kind. Typical "Do you know who I am?" attitude. Cops showed admirable restraint in not using batons or a taser on her.

    What mentality should a hunter bring to F-Class?

    One thing I learned very quickly when I first started in any form of competition, which for me was trap shooting but that is neither here nor there, Make every shot your only shot, what you have done in the past does not matter, what you will do in the future doesn't matter, there is only this...
