    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    I have a Vortex on my son's rifle. That's next to try I guess. I didn't want to screw up his zero, but you're right, I'm out of other options.

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    Depends on how you define decent. 0.669 was the best but I'm betting that's not repeatable. When you shoot 14 groups you're bound to have the stars align for one of them. This rifle should be capable of .25 MOA if I do my part with the right load. I was hoping it would do .5 MOA with MOST...

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    Much of the earlier loads (prior to today's custom ammo) I tested at 100 yards, prone, rear bag. Rifle is a 20" .308 heavy-palma with 5R rifling on a Impact 737R. Scope is a Leupold Mark 5 HD 5-25 in a Spuhr obviously. Groups are wild. All kinds of vertical and horizontal dispersion. No...

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    There's a difference between not making money and not spending it. But as reading isn't quite your forte, I'm guessing neither is logic or common sense, so I'll give you a pass.

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    Reading clearly isn't your specialty ... MFG doesn't handle US customers, said that in the first post. As far as your jab, here's what you do. You start saving now for your no-expense-spared dream rifle. 8 years from now after I don't know, about a hundred fights with your wife about this...

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    Stripped a Spuhr screw, on the base, not the rings. Icing on top of an already shitty day. Go to Spuhr's website, they got plenty of 'em in stock. Go to checkout, US of A isn't an option. Find a note that for us Yankees, we've got to go to Mile High Shooting. Headed on over there, they've...

    I have the exact scope you're looking at it. Worth every penny. Any specific questions?

    Which mags to run with nucleus & MPA

    For my setup (737R, Manners PRS1): PMags are okay, but the bolt drags across the feed lips. No stoppages are issues other than additional drag on the bolt as I'm working the action. My MDT 10 rounders (metal) are great, but sometimes when loading I end up pushing a round out the back of the...

    MDT XRS crossover chassis

    Not as bad looking in that video as it was in the email I got. Wouldn't mind getting a few rounds behind one to see how it compares to my son's Bravo.

    Tips for custom bolt action rifle

    He needs to build an entire system for $3K. $2500 on the rifle + tax, shipping, and FFL fees means all he has is a rifle.

    Tips for custom bolt action rifle

    What does your 3K budget include? Just the barreled action and chassis, or is that supposed to include other items? If you have absolutely nothing, you'll need at least: stock/chassis barrel action scope rail (if not included with action) rings scope cleaning supplies rear bag

    I've been using the Possum Hollow guides (same as Sinclair, just rebranded and available on Amazon).

    MDT XRS crossover chassis

    Agree. Their products appear to be of great quality, but the LSS Gen 2 XL is the nicest looking system they have under the MDT brand and it isn't exactly pretty. I find it interesting that KRG's best looking chassis and the MDTs best looking chassis are also their cheapest (Bravo and Oryx...

    Tips for custom bolt action rifle

    I'll take a shot at your request keeping in mind that you left it WIDE open to personal interpretation. I'd go with a Remington 700 patterned action. Far more options available for that foot print than likely all others combined. I recently built two rifles, one for my son, and the $350 KRG...

    Best inch pound torque wrench

    Borka. The Wheeler is a crap shoot with regards to accuracy. Some are as much as 40% off.

    can you guess

    As mentioned above, closing one eye induces muscle strain and has adverse effects on your vision after 30 seconds or so. I shoot and train a lot with handguns and the additional field of view provided when using a tool that is almost exclusively a defensive tool should be an obvious advantage...

    can you guess

    Both eyes open for me all the time. Eye dominance does play a factor in that, I'm one of the lucky ones there as I'm right handed and right eye dominant
