    Badger or DD Ross bottom metal?

    Re: Badger or DD Ross bottom metal? Please advise what you have heard bad about the badger M4 floorplate? Before DBM was so popular this was pretty much the standard upgrade over the factory bottom metal. In fact I am currently having a rifle built with the M4. With that said I have never...

    savage vs FN pbr xp

    Re: savage vs FN pbr xp Since you have never shot the FN I would suggest shooting it first to see how it shoots and if you like it. Compare the two side by side and see which one shoots better. My vote is pick the one you shoot/like the best. With enough time and money any rifle can be...

    Rifle Scopes Can't decide: Leupold ERT M5 3.5-10x or 4.5-14x

    Re: Can't decide: Leupold ERT M5 3.5-10x or 4.5-14x I have a 3.5-10 SFP and a 4.5-14 FFP, my vote is for the 4.5-14. If you are going to be doing a lot of shooting from 0-99 yards get the 3.5. I think the 4.5-14 is better for anything 100 yards and over. Smart move going with FFP and...

    Iron Brigade Armory at Virginia Gun Show

    Re: Iron Brigade Armory at Virginia Gun Show I agree with you, when you get into the $2200 range you might has well look at a GAP rock for few hundred more or just buy a R700 action and have a good gunsmith put one together for you. This was my first precision rifle that got me started...

    Iron Brigade Armory at Virginia Gun Show

    Re: Iron Brigade Armory at Virginia Gun Show I bought this rifle from my friend before I was a member here on the hide. I have never dealt with Chandler directly, I have bought some accessories online from them but have never even called them. I can only attest to the accuracy of my rifle...

    Iron Brigade Armory at Virginia Gun Show

    Re: Iron Brigade Armory at Virginia Gun Show They do a little more than just cut the barrel and put a base on it. I bought a Chandler basic tuned 700 PSS from a friend of mine and it shoots 168gr FGMM great. Here is what was done to mine: cut 26" barrel to 20" OAL, 11 degree target...

    Rifle Scopes Mil/MOA

    Re: Mil/MOA because the op has not diagnosed his turrets, he is stating they are .25moa which very well could be, however he did not supply any further information than .25 knobs. My .25 moa knobs are actually .26 so my information would be slightly different. I was just giving him...

    Rifle Scopes Mil/MOA

    Re: Mil/MOA There are also mathematical equations to convert mil to moa and vice versa. First you need to understand the difference between true minute of angle and shooter's minute of angle (aka Inches Per Hundred Yard or IPHY) At 100 yards: True minute of anlge = 1.047" Shooters minute...

    Rifle Scopes Mil/MOA

    Re: Mil/MOA Let's say you elevation knobs are a true .25MOA. Your known information is 500 yards to target and 20" of drop. First figure out what your true click value is at 500 yards. .25 x 5 (units of 100 yards) = 1.25 true click value. Now divide your drop by your true click value...
