    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce FFP Super Scope coming soon!

    Re: New Nightforce FFP Super Scope coming soon! I'm not going to bash NF, I have one and it's a great scope, but Hell, I would have been happy if they had simply done a mod to the 5.5-22 50mm by offering it in FFP, Mil/Mil, with a zero stop in the $2100.00 range. What could NF possibly be...

    over scoped?

    Re: over scoped? 2-7 VariX II on my 10/22 4-14 Nikon on my Savage Mark II 5-25 Falcon on my Sako Quad No, I don't think you are over scoped at all. I like to be able to see those little .22 and .17 cal bullet holes at 200 yards.

    Rifle Scopes Help me scope an M1a

    Re: Help me scope an M1a 3-9 SS, or 10X HD SS. You might keep an eye out for a 3-15 Weaver Tactical Mil/Mil, or a Vortex 4-16 Mil/Mil FFP. The 10X HD model Super Sniper has some very fine glass, and it's built like a brick $hit house. Vortex is also well made and has pretty good glass for...

    Need help teaching a friend

    Re: Need help teaching a friend +1 for the on-line training. Get it and watch it. The other thing you might consider is just camping out with him in your living room or backyard and teaching him how to saddle up to the rifle properly (natural point of aim), getting a good cheek weld (sight...

    Driving a gas gun vs a bolt gun

    Re: Driving a gas gun vs a bolt gun I used to be in agreement with lonmower's statement that gas guns are not as accurate as bolt rifles. If we're comparing AR's to benchrest rifles I would say this is still very much true, but if we're comparing any of the AR's that are being used in the...

    Are heavy barrels more accurate???

    Re: Are heavy barrels more accurate??? I'm not sure I'm going to agree with you on the "thin barrel is just as accurate as a heavy barrel" idea. There is some very interesting research on barrel harmonics and the 22LR bench rifle. Barrel harmonics play a major factor in accuracy, and the...

    Wilson Barrels gtg?

    Re: Wilson Barrels gtg? Not sure about the manufacturing process (hammer, button, single point, etc.). I have a stainless 16" medium contour fluted on an AR and it's a hammer. It's a 1 in 8 twist, and while it seems to have taken a bit to break it in, it shoots very good groups with 60gr...

    Savage ejection problem

    Re: Savage ejection problem The bolt lift kit simply smoothes out the action of lifting the bolt, I believe it's simply a shim and bearing that rides between the bolt handle and the bolt body. I think Stockade Gunstocks (Kevin Rayhill) http://www.stockadegunstocks.com/, and also Sharp...

    Post your rimfire bolt knob pics

    Re: Post your rimfire bolt knob pics Give Bolt Knobs by Bill a try. He did the one on my Mark II Savage, and two knobs on Rem 700's for me. Very good work and very reasonable. I had my local smith screw them on. Sorry, no pics to post. http://boltknobsbybill.com/

    Brass for the .260 Rem

    Re: Brass for the .260 Rem I don't think I'm running my .260 loads super fast or hot. I'm shooting 142 SMKs at 2810fps, with H4350. I guess I could back the load off, but I'm thinking it's just soft Remington brass. I suspect the next step is to try some Lapua brass and see what happens...

    Brass for the .260 Rem

    Re: Brass for the .260 Rem The reason why I asked is my Rem .260 brass is showing a lot (20% to 25%) of blown out primer pockets on only the 2nd and 3rd reload. I'm thinking of going to Lapua. I just wondered what kind of results you all were getting. I know how the search function...

    Brass for the .260 Rem

    Guys, Are any of you using Nosler or Lapua brass in .260 Rem? Not necked down 7-08 but true .260 brass. What kind of longevity are you getting out of your brass? Are you having any issues with loose primer pockets? Any issues with necks? What die set up are you using (bushing, FL, NS)...

    Savage 10 Expectations

    Re: Savage 10 Expectations I have a 10FP that has been heavily modified with new barrels, calibers, stock, trigger, and DBM system. When the rifle was new with the OEM barrel it was giving me between .6 to .75 moa groups at 100 yards using BH 175gr BTHP. I started playing with SMK's and...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex or Falcon

    Re: Vortex or Falcon I have the Falcon 5-25 50mm model and it's average at best. Turrets are mushy and glass is average. My vote would be for the Vortex. While I don't have a Viper or PST model Vortex I do own a Razor and I have to say that Vortex's customer service was outstanding when I...
