    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta in Spuhr - Parallax Binding

    I'm the guy that started the original thread last year. Mine locked up unless the torque on all the screws (tightened in accordance with Spuhr instructions) was at 15 in-lbs. TT's response was that 15 in-lbs was in Spuhr spec (albeit the absolute bottom). They were very positive the scope was...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns B&T APC45 or Kriss Vector?

    not quite an apples to apples comparison, I have the Vector and a B&T GHM in 9mm. Both have been flawless over about 1500 rounds each, with little maintenance other than a cleaning or two. I much prefer shooting the Vector. The recoil impulse (such as it is - not much) is smoother with the...

    Remington 5R barrels

    I bought a R700 5R 223 about 10 years ago. It has a 1:9 twist 24" barrel. Took about 300-400 rounds to settle down, but will now shoot 69SMKs into around 1/2 minute, maybe a little better if I'm having a good day. The trigger was typically not great and got replaced. Mine is now in an XLR...

    338 Lapua Reloading Recomendations

    While I really like RCBS as a company and personally use a Rockchucker press, I'd skip their dies and use the Redding competition dies with the bushing sizer and the micrometer seater. I'd also skip their trimmer and use a Wilson

    There's a whole lot of airbrushing going on in that picture, I didn't have the nerve to watch the video.

    Preferred AI Barrel Maker/Smith?

    Gradous. Not only because of the ease in load development, and the accuracy, but the fit and finish are unbelievable. Nearly impossible to see the line for the thread protector. The caliber marking lines up, not just facing the right way on the barrel but where you can see it through a notch in...

    Rifle Scopes Optics Planet B/S again

    Several years ago I was burned twice by them, told the same story as Gunfighter, with exactly the same result both times. Now if they are the only source of something I need, I find an alternate solution. There are too many good vendors out there to waste time with their type of BS.

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 5-25 and Spuhr

    I didn't know Premier had a similar issue, but I also didn't realize the TT used any specs from Premier except reticle design. I'm not an engineer, but it looks like that would be a very easy fix - just make the tube a little thicker. Maybe I shouldn't be worried about using only 15 in/lbs of...

    Nice setup. What pack is that? Is that a sleeve for the extra barrel? How do you like the pack?

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 5-25 and Spuhr

    I recently bought a Tangent Theta 525P. My thoughts on the scope itself are further below. I like to use Spuhr unimounts, and planned to swap out a S&B with this new scope. So when I dropped the TT into the old Spuhr mount and torqued to 20 in/lbs (Spuhr's suggested range is 15-25), the...

    AXMC won't extract

    Gotcha, at any rate, I'm sure they will take care of it. Mine has been flawless after Mile High replaced the extractor

    AXMC won't extract

    I though Mile High was the service center for AINA. I had s similar issue with my 2015 AX308 and a new extractor fixed it.

    best beginner setup for reloading .223?

    I started with the RCBS Rockchucker kit about 25 years ago, I learned a lot, upgraded as I went, and eventually replaced everything but the press. I actually think a kit is a great way to start.

    Gunsmithing Has anyone done a 6.5x55 in an AXMC using the .308 bolt body & Lapua brass

    I just tried it with Lapua 6.5x55 brass and a 308 axmc bolt, it won't fit although it doesn't seem like it would take much to relieve it, I would think the bolt body would be ruined for the 308 family

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    what bullets and velocity are you guys seeing with the 20" 308 barrels? I'm getting around 2500 with 168 sierras, was expecting a little closer to 1600. My load is 42 grs of R15.
