    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    Another option for a plinker (not necessarily a heavy barrel match rifle) is Eurooptic has Tikka Ranahan's in 223 on sale right now.

    Best corrosion protection for small steel parts?

    Fluid Film is good, but other products are better. If you want a wet film - Corrosion X Aviation is outstanding. Another option is Cortec Corshield VPCi 369 (even better for long term storage as it emits vapor phase inhibitors, but messier). For a dry waxy film - CRC heavy duty corrosion...

    Toughest scope mounts?

    Agree on these. There are all sorts of fancy attachments schemes for both the rail to mount/ring interface, as well as for the ring itself. I have a hard time understanding how they are somehow dramatically superior to a through bolt with a large hex nut for the mount/rail, and a 4 (or 6)...

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    In terms of the best product from Loctite for retention of cylindrical parts - 620 is good, but is 660 better? It is significantly higher viscosity, and has about twice the gap filling ability as well. For those of you who have a really loose fit, it is actually designed for retaining shims too...

    AR-10 is chewing up my brass

    Use LC brass, and more moderate loads. The small improvement in consistency with good brass like Lapua/Alpha/etc is lost in the noise of a semi auto. LC brass is much more durable, especially in the case head. Even without a small (high pressure) firing pin, I have fired LC brass up to 10...

    11 shots for 1.2 MOA at 600 yards with my M14

    That is some good shooting, and some nice rifles!I have always considered getting a M1a mainly just because I think they are cool, but I keep procrastinating because I have a MWS that has proven to be an exceptional and consistent shooter. What kind of accuracy could be expected from a...

    308 Winchester AR Only

    I have fired a ton of 155's of various flavors (150 FMJ-BT, Hornady 155 HPBT, and Sierra 155 SMK) with H4895. A charge in the 41.7-42 gr range, loaded to mag length is the ticket. Seems to work great with just about all of these, and doesn't beat the gun or brass up too much. This is with LC...

    First Remington 700 build..

    For a shooter that Rem 700 would likely be fine in the stock configuration. Then you can have something to blast with as you build a fancier caliber on a custom action. Blueprinting is a waste for a stock Rem 700 action. Another option is a Remage barrel with a nut if you are deadset on using a...

    Many around here who took the jab now showing same.

    The polio epidemic may seem like a lie until you are paralyzed. We have the luxury in living in a country it was basically eradicated from long ago, and the people who died from it or lived with profound life-long disabilities have passed away. You do realize that polio is still active in many...

    6.5 PRC Loads

    They have shot fine for me, although it isn't really a fair comparison being factory vs hand load. I still haven't shot the rifle much, but the last 2 x 10 shot groups I noted above were 0.8 MOA for N565, and 0.7 MOA for H1000. Now this is not BR accuracy, and I do think I could do better...

    Low Recoil AR Load

    I have found that lightest recoiling AR loads have been with lighter bullets, and faster powders. A 40 Vmax with N133 will be extremely soft shooting. If you are concerned about reliability, you don't necessarily need to load a light charge, even heavier charges with the light bullet/fast powder...

    SR 25 Scope Recommendations

    It is the PN 05-418. A 34 mm, 0 MOA, hyper extended mount. It is on an LMT MWS as well, and could also use a less extended mount. This one allows use on a non-monolithic upper without bridging from the upper to the handguard.

    SR 25 Scope Recommendations

    The S&B 3-20 I have fits fine in a Geissele Super Precision mount. Solid and often available on sale. Reticle is highly personal. For a gas gun I prefer a capped windage turret, and the low profile DT27 elevation, but the DT+ turrets are fairly low profile. The TR2ID and GR2ID reticles are...

    Using PMII 3-20x50 on TRG 22 and SP10 with QDP-4602 – viable plan?

    I would do two separate scopes. If I had to swap, would rather use a bolt on mount instead of QD, it really doesn't take any more time, just have to have the tool (which is minimal).

    Temp Stability Test in 6mm Creedmoor with N160, N555, & H4350

    Thank you for some excellent data, this is what SH is all about. I wonder how much better the current N160 is than old N160, as it was apparently reformulated to be more temp stable.

    Is my custom 457 Barrel a dud?

    I wouldn't give up until you try some other brands IE Lapua/SK or RWS. You just can't predict what the barrel will like. You may just end up lot testing whatever Lapua you can get on your own. I was recently testing a wide variety of ammo in my T1x. Wolf Match, Eley Club, Target, Team, Target...

    .308 Winchester

    I love innovation as much as the next guy... Those are some HOT loads. Have you ever thought of pressure testing any of these? Have you checked for lug setback on your stock Rem 700 actions? These loads are approaching 300 Win Mag velocities with a case that holds 48 gr of powder, versus the...

    Thermal clip on flip to the side options.

    The SkeetIR does not support very much mag at all and isnt a very good clip on. RH25 or Voodoo S are your options. Voodoo S is superior but drastically more expensive. The Wilcox mount works well. I am not sure how its zero retention is for non-collinlmated thermals though. My stuff is all...
