    Rifle Scopes Premiere Reticles warranty honored by Tangent Theta

    I agree with your assessment, escept for one thing you omitted. That one thing makes all the difference in the world! That being, there was a "guarantee" posted here on the Hide by a vendor, with an assurance from an executive from TT, that Premier's warranty would be honored, "no matter...

    Old Reliable - Do We Need Safe Spaces

    Here's where you are wrong: You incorrectly assume I'm upset about Larry getting banned. That akin to being upset when the Sun sets in the West! Everyone who knows his MO knows he's like a comet. All of a sudden, he's here, streaking brightly across the sky. Just as quickly, he burns to...

    Old Reliable - Do We Need Safe Spaces

    So then, the board outside the 'Pit is somehow on 'unequal terms'? Is that why you don't post outside the 'Pit? Would it be a stretch for you to believe that some liken Larry's posts in the same light you do, yours? As little more than a "friendly punch"?? Regardless, the above doesn't excuse...

    Are varmint rifles, expendable?

    Agree on the need to specify the 'varmint'. For p-dog shooting, .223Rem based cartridges allow high volume shooting on a modest diet of powder & 'everywhere' brass. Necked down to .20Prac/TAC makes a little laser & great p-dog round. Or, fireform to .223AI for a step up in performance over...

    Old Reliable - Do We Need Safe Spaces

    Can you not see your own hypocrisy? By your own words, you feel entitled to 'mock' members, for your own comic relief. Yet, when Larry does it, you label it "pissing on people"?? What makes you any different, than him??? I'll tell ya one thing. Betwixt his 'mockings', at least Larry shares...

    Rifle Scopes Hitting 3.8 mils right while sighting rifle - doesn't seem right *Update base install and not receiver now suspect*

    Questions: is this a new rifle? new chassis? if not, did the prior scope require a similar offset? Trying to establish whether the mechanical offset could be attributed to rifle/assembly, itself. There is a possibility that your scope is fine, but the barrel is not square, or somehow being...

    Range Report 6.5 Saum results

    OK, that makes a difference. FWIW, I ran my 22" 6.5 with Hornady GAP 4s brass. 62.5gr H1000 yielded 3055 fps with a 130HVLD. My 24" uses necked down & turned Norma SAUM brass, 63.5gr H1000 with (molyed) 130HVLDs nets 3205 fps Looks like you're in the ballpark. Listen to what your rifle is...

    Also, 2.875 should put you well into the lands with a 130HVLD in a .081FB chamber. That will drive pressure up...

    Load Development on a New Barrel

    Ditto. Been also shooting a mild load from the start so that a new batch of brass can 'form' to that chamber, without over-stressing them on the very first firing. And as stated above, once a batch (50-200pcs.) of brass is 1x fired, the barrel's velocity performance is likely stabilized, brass...

    Wiretapped

    This is absurd. If you had an ear to the ground, you'd know that the Conservatives who supported President Trump in the election are holding his toes to the fire. Heck, just look at the backlash from "obamacare lite v2.0"! True Conservatives ARE NOT happy, and we have been letting our...

    Gunsmithing Bent action?

    I screwed up a bedding job somehow and got the 'two group' situation, too. Upon further investigation, tightening the rear action screw resulted in the tang compressing. Reckon the action must've 'rocked' back & forth in the bedding which squeezed too much compound out. Anyway, a "re-do" with a...

    Wiretapped

    My sentiments, as well. Trump keeps on 'tweeting' like he's always done, and the demos keep taking the bait. Meanwhile, the big brains behind the scenes already have the next three moves planned out. Whenever the libtards cry 'FOUL' & whine on MSM , they expose a flank where their own mis-deeds...
