    Analysis Paralysis....again

    So, I recently decided to buy myself a new optic for a future build. I have been eyeballing the Tract 4-25x50 and the Zeiss 4-25x50. They both share a very similar footprint in length and objective lens diameter. The Tract is heavier, it has yardage marks on the parallax (not the most important...

    Remington 700 Short Action Chassis Recommendations

    The ones that I happen to use are AICS and magpul, depending on rifle. I'm primarily shooting ammo loaded to SAAMI overall length.

    Remington 700 Short Action Chassis Recommendations

    There is a lot of difference between the magpul hunter and the magpul pro. What you say is very similar to my feelings concerning the bravo. I like the bravo, but I upgraded to the pro on two of my rifles because I didn't care for the recoil impulse with the bravo on cartridges with more recoil.

    EA-18G Growler From Whidbey NAS Crashes East of Mt. Ranier

    USS Guardian comes to mind. Throughout Naval History there are plenty of instances of ships running aground, captained by men. Or, how about one of the most technogically advanced submarines in the world surfacing under a fishing vessel, sinking it?

    Trading a tacoma for subaru….

    Bullshit, the honda has a bed capacity of 1500 pounds, which is best in class(medium truck). It has a towing capacity of 5000 pounds. It's a honda, it will run forever. 95% of truck owners don't do any serious hauling Chevy trucks are trash. Ram trucks are trash, Ford trucks are trash. Toyota...

    Vortex not zeroing after warranty service?

    I am the king of shit coming loose. It happens, I've chased my tail more than once, only to find out something came loose. I have literally had every screw on a bolt action rifle come loose at one time or another, I'm talking torqued to spec and even locited in place. I've had the cap screws...

    Your answer is the Ridgeline. Very capable AWD, comfortable, truck enough to all the truck stuff that 95% of truck owners need.

    You may want to pick up a Lee factory crimp die and put a lite crimp on the new bullet.

    Viper barrel vise for scope mounting?

    Yes, it will work. I would suggest removing the barreled action from the stock to reduce the pressure on the barrel and the leverage that may cause unsteadiness in your setup.

    Burris signature HD LRF vs Vortex Fury 5000

    Does anyone have experience with both? I have experience with the Vortex 5000 lrf. I like the Vortex, but I can save a couple of hundo if I were to go with the Burris.

    Bushnell Matchpro 6-24 vs Arken EPL-4 6-24

    Why such a high magnification scope for hunting? You are far better off going down in magnification and will likely get better glass as a result. High magnification and low price do not go together. My hunting rifle wears a 2.5-15 power scope. If you are okay with MOA/MOA, I highly suggest you...

    Ruger M77 Hawkeye .257 Roberts accuracy expectations?

    It's an M77, they aren't known for accuracy. They are good looking rifles and that is an excellent cartridge. I would suggest a bedding job, maybe a trigger. That would likely help accuracy. As long as the first round is consistent, I wouldn't worry about it. That is acceptable hunting...

    Gunsmithing 223 11 degree crowning tool

    Just rent one. Do a search for chamber reamer rentals. Those companies also rent chamfer tools and other assorted things.

    XM3 receiver question

    It's a clone, it all depends on how "original" you want it to be. Are you a purist, or do you want a rifle "just like it"? The R700 hasn't changed much in 62 years, is there going to be a big difference operationally if you sourced an action made in 2005 versus one made in 2015 blued steel or...

    Jimmy Stewart.

    Legen has it that James Arness was the first off the landing craft at Anzio due to his height. Don't know how true that was, but he took machine gun rounds to his leg
