    Atlas Bipod Canting Range

    Re: Atlas Bipod Canting Range My Atlas V8 does the same thing. I shoot a .308 as well and I load my bipod as was shown by the online training when shooting from the prone. However I wonder if it has to do with me using the bipod as a brace during off hand and kneeling barricade shooting...

    Alpha mag help

    Re: Alpha mag help I own four Alpha Type 1 .308 magazines and mine all run fine in my Remington 700/Manners T5A mini chassis. I bought mine over a year ago at the same time. Hopefully there is a way to solve the problem as I love the size of my Alpha compared to a ten round AICS.

    redi-mag system

    Re: redi-mag system I also run a redi mag on my M4 with PMAGS, I have never had any issues. It makes the rifle heavier but you will be able to conduct a reload faster than out of a pouch. If weight is an issue at certain times (maybe a long hike) then all you have to do is remove the second...

    newb confused about moa to mil. overthinking it?

    Re: newb confused about moa to mil. overthinking it? When converting MOA to Mils divide by 3.438 not 3.6. 3.6 is what 1 mil at 100 yards equals in inches. 26.5/3.438 = 7.7 mils

    Rifle Scopes Sending scope to Leupold: M3 knobs for M1s (M5?)?

    Re: Sending my scope to Leupold: M3 knobs for M1s? I just called Leupold today at 1740 EST regarding converting my M1 turrets on my 4.5x14 ER/T and 8.5x25 ER/T to M5 turrets. Leupold advised they can not do any conversions at this time but should be able to start by Jan 2012. I was told to...

    Decisions Decisions - GAP bolt action

    Re: Decisions Decisions - GAP bolt action Hospitaller all the way! A Gladius on a Templar action would be a close second in my book.

    The First of Many (Rifles)

    Re: The First of Many (Rifles) Gap Gladius would be a fine option, but I would also look into upgrading to their Templar action for a few bucks more.

    Question for LE Sniper Team Leaders

    Re: Question for LE Sniper Team Leaders First I would get a no-go gauge and check and see if the barrels are still within spec since you don't know a round count. They're about $40 dollars and you get them from places like Brownell's, plus you get an LE discount from them. You can't...

    Top loading with Surgeon 591 and hinged floorplat?

    Re: Top loading with Surgeon 591 and hinged floorplat? C1Steve, Terry is correct about needing the proper action, before Surgeon changed to their new website there was a note on the old 591 page saying they were only making 50 actions per year (unless demand was higher) for a BDL 591 that...

    Top loading with Surgeon 591 and hinged floorplat?

    Re: Top loading with Surgeon 591 and hinged floorplat? I run a Surgeon 591 .308 in a Manners T5A with Badger M4 floorplate and there is no problem loading the rifle. Actually the anti bind rail on the left raceway makes it easier to load as a cartridge can't get jammed in their when trying...

    Model 700 .308 mag conversion kits??

    Re: Model 700 .308 mag conversion kits?? The only one's that I am aware of that don't need gunsmithing are some type of chassis system like the Manners mini chassis DBM, AICS chassis, or the metal chassis systems. I run a Manners mini chassis and it required no gunsmithing at all. It...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Yes, I'm starting a caliber debate...

    Re: Yes, I'm starting a caliber debate... I owned a S&W 442 (15oz) and a Taurus CIA .357 (24oz). Shooting .357 out of 24oz gun was not much fun. Shooting .38spl +p out of the 15oz 442 was very manageable. I sold the .357 as it was about twice as heavy as the 442 and I would only load...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Gen. 3 or 4?

    Re: Glock Gen. 3 or 4? I personally like the gen 3's over the gen 4's. With that said I have only shot gen 3's and never a gen 4. I have looked at and held gen 4's in the store but did not care for the new look/feel. I have normal size hands and the gen 3 glocks fit them well. I bought my...
